Today’s Apple Event.. Back to the Mac.

Here are the highlights folks:

Mac Store

We now have an app store for Mac, it looks very similar to the iPad store and it launches right from the dock on the Mac. Apple is offering devs the same 70/30 split deal and will be accepting applications from devs as of Nov 2010 — get coding. Macs running Snow Leopard will get a peek in 90 days from today. I think this is seriously exciting news. The update tool ( like in the iOS app store ) will make it a lot easier for users to ensure their collection of apps are all up to date.

FaceTime Comes to Mac!!

Mac users + iPhone 4 users can now FaceTime! I’ve already downloaded it for Mac, it works great. When you tilt your device (iPhone) the mac screen will adjust, centering you back up. This is awesome news.… Continue Reading

HTC has positioned themselves as a driving force in the Android handset market, making some impressive gains this year according to the information technology research company Garner. In the second quarter of this year it’s reported that HTC has increased their growth 139.1% year on year and made the 8th place in the worldwide handset rankings.

I had a chance to test drive HTC’s Desire for a few weeks, making this my third steamy affair after the Nexus One and The Legend.

HTC Desire -Android 2.1 (Éclair) with HTC Sense

For starters, I’m a huge fan of HTC Sense, HTC’s user interface built upon the Android OS. Sense is highly intuitive and brings some serious polish to an Android device. It includes a series of widgets, themes and a new web-based control center to manage and customize HTC devices.

Also, Sense provides numerous options to add various preloaded themes (social, travel) and widgets allowing users to quickly trick out the style of their homescreens. And notifications are displayed under the curved dock when the phone is in lock mode.… Continue Reading

So you’ve probably already heard that shooting video using the iPhone 4 is brilliant, sexy and gives a new meaning to the term mobile-movie-making. This fangirl isn’t going to bore you gushing about the unbelievable quality of the footage I’ve taken or the ability to shoot 720p, 30fps on the rear/front facing cam. I just wanted to share with you a little footage I’ve taken so far, additionally pointing out some questionable differences with the uploading quality when doing it directly from the iPhone.… Continue Reading
