Cel phones and your brain
March 23, 2011
This is a hard topic for us. Everyone has a cel phone and most are on it non-stop. No one has come out yet with significant proof that we are all slowly dying of brain tumors so, we continue to talk. Keep in mind though that until about 60 years ago we all though smoking cigarettes was actually healthy. (check this out). Unfortunately this study won’t actually answer any of your questions either but it does get us talking. Essentially it states that test subject’s brains were in fact sensitive to the low levels of radiation emitted from cel
Using iPads to sell you more stuff
March 21, 2011
One thing that is nearly un-arguable at this point is the fact that people really enjoy the iPad. It presents information is an incredibly sexy way. What’s not to like? Retailers have also started to realize this and have begun to test this in several locations. We too have worked with a retailers to apply sales tools for the iPad. Our experience is in-line with others online; retailers are excited about this for sure. In general it is a no-brainer if you think about it. You can make a store experience that has access to far more information than
Apple opens up its biggest store in China; Shanghai
March 18, 2011
Report after report shows us that China is on fire. While most people know that China makes a lot of the gadgets that the rest of the world uses, many don’t know that China is on track to be a major player in terms or actually purchasing goods as well. The estimates have China, as an example, accounting for as much as 25% of the world’s luxury purchasing in the upcoming years. This is not insignificant. Apple is clearly someone who gets this as well. They are planning a major store opening in Shanghai which is going to be
Apps in iTunes via Flash and how a developer feels about it
March 17, 2011
Unless you migrated here from the planet formerly known as Pluto, you are no doubt aware of the previous battle waged between Apple and, well anyone who didn’t know Objective C and wanted to make an app. Apple has since released its strangle hold on that and allowed for developers to use Flash to create their iPad and iPhone apps. So what does this mean? Well likely game developers will be incredibly happy with this. There is no doubt this significantly helps them out. If you are a designer by nature and have a thin grasp on Flash but
PC users rejoice; you now have an iMac-ish
March 15, 2011
For a long time we have had friendly wars of words with our PC friends everywhere. One sentiment that has been repeated however time and time again is that most would buy an Apple product if it didn’t have Apple’s OS on it. Well now you can, sort of. In a world where creativity is dwindling by the minute, we have Lenovo coming along and gripping some sizable market share out of Apple’s cash-filled hands. Apple is not estimated to loose their death grip on the “all in one” market but it is certainly now having to swat Lenovo
iPad 2 had a killer weekend
March 15, 2011
While nothing has been officially released the estimates out on the street range from 400k – 600k sold in the first weekend. By contrast, and to compare, those numbers are higher than the original did in a week on Earth. Not too shabby. Also not surprising. This go around had it being sold everywhere and not just at the Apple Store. Essentially though, whatever stores had them, now don’t. Waiting lines now are huge. As someone who was there for the first iPad on its first day, I was very surprised to see the massive lines at the store.
