A New Era Arrives

For many people, Wednesday, January 27, 2010 was no ordinary day. On January 27, 2010, Apple announced for the first time to the world that all the rumors and speculation over an “Apple tablet device” were true. This was the first time that we heard the term Apple iPad, and the buzz was incredible! Some people claimed the iPad to be nothing more than an oversized iPhone, some claimed it to be “the netbook killer”, and others saw it as a multimedia haven to where printed media can finally meet the digital age in a single, accepted format. Whatever the claims, and wherever you were, there was plenty of buzz surrounding this product that was announced to be 60 days away from general availability. Then, finally when Apple announced the availability to start preordering the iPad for its arrival on Saturday, April 3, 2010, people started slowly finding their way into their nearest Apple Store location to talk about the newest addition to the Apple device family. As I awoke this past Saturday morning at 7:30 AM, it actually dawned on me that the wait was over. The day that many were waiting for in anticipation had finally arrived. The day a new era arrived was here…the launch of the Apple iPad.

Mickey Isn’t the Only Magical Mouse

Apple’s Magic Mouse is the first consumer mouse to have multi-touch capabilities. The mouse takes after many Apple hardware products such as the Apple iPhone, and Apple iPod Touch devices that all respond to gestures, scrolling and swiping. It works with Microsoft Windows with some limitations. Although Apple won’t support using the Magic Mouse with Microsoft Windows, in this post I show you how to connect the Apple Magic Mouse to your Windows computer system in a step-by-step screenshot demonstration.

Coffee, Doughnuts and…Apples?

I had the pleasure of being invited to what Apple calls a Business Networking meeting at the Apple Store in the Menlo Park Mall in Edison, NJ on Wednesday, October 28, 2009. The focus of the meeting was surrounding applications from the Apple App Store. I was informed that several applications, hand-picked from Apple Business staff, were going to be featured during the meeting in an effort to showcase what kinds of functionality can be achieved through the use of applications downloaded from the Apple App Store on either Apple iPod Touch or Apple iPhone devices. I accepted the invitation and rustled up my notebook, a pen, business cards, and my camera to bring with me to the event last Wednesday. You can see pictures I took from the event towards the end of this post.
