$30,000 iPhone 4

If you are missing something in life and have $30,000 in your pocket to throw away. WAIT!!! Get the Gresso iPhone 4. Who would be crazy enough to actually do that? I would rather buy a BMW for that kind of money.


The iPhone 4 above is not actually $30,000. The one above is priced at $5,000 since it is laced with Swarovski Crystals and 18-karat Apple logo and of course 200-year-old African Blackwood. How much more exquisite can you get? Actually quiet a lot since the one bellow is actually the $30,000 iPhone 4.




Like I said can you get more exquisite than this? I don't think so. This iPhone 4 for the Lady is covered with 3 Swiss clocks that are dedicated to New-York, London and Moscow. The needles inside the clocks are covered with pearls and Swarovski Crystals. The other 3 boxes are also filled with more Crystals and floating diamonds to give out the best shine.

Now if you have $30,000 laying around you better act fast since only 150 of these gems will ever be made. I don't think anyone will actually buy this...actually I change my opinion. I bet Bryan "Birdman" Williams the famous recording artist will be getting a couple of these since he purchased the one and only Maybach Exelero for just about $8-million.

Would you buy this? Let me know, down below!

Fujitsu

We have seen many tablets come to the market this year and many of them have been outstanding and been able to do most users are asking for. Unfortunately there are still tablets that do not have ext. keyboard if you do not like the touch screen. That's where Fujitsu has come in.

Fujitsu a long time company form native Japan has been rolling out laptops since the dawn of time an they all have been filled with lots of interesting features. Now that the tablet market is growing they announced the TH40/D tablet to be released later this July. This hide a way slider tablet looks great and is running Windows 7 and not Android.

Now who can guess the price of this tablet? Is it $400, $600 maybe even $800?

Everyone is wrong. It will be retailed at $1000 plus they would like to you to donate an arm and a leg. Are you kidding a $1000 tablet, that is crazier than what Apple is charging.



Let me know. If you have $1000 to blow which tablet would you get and if this would be your pick.

Padfone

Tablets and phones have been a growing in the consumer market and some even prefer tablets over computers. Well this is perfect for the techy that has a laptop, phone, tablet, etc. Welcome the Padfone!

ASUS not only triumphed through the computer industry with their immensely powerful laptops and their physical damage warranty, they have now jumped in to the tablet and phone industry and are making a very big impression on the competition. With the release of the ASUS Transformer tablet really showed us that ASUS not only can build great laptops but also amazing tablets.

This slick looking tablet could be the end of Apple iPad and iPhone. Why? Keep reading and find out.

I officially know what to ask for Christmas since the release date of the Padfone will be on time for the Christmas shopping rush. Now let's explain why this phone is so great and why it will demolish the competition.

There are millions of people that own a smartphone, and lot of them do not own a tablet since it is an extra thing to carry around. This is finally the solution a Tablet which will connect with your phone and carry it inside making you have only one device to use. It will also be running Android as usual which is lovely.

How is it going to demolition Apple?

If you have an iPad and an iPhone than you use the iPhone as a phone and iPad as a tablet. With ASUS you will have two devices that will be used as one. Yes you can use them separately but pop the phone into the tablet cradle and you can now use as one. Tranfering files will be seamless between the too and as ASUS says "You will get the ladies with this device". Check out the video a bit lower.

BlackBerry Another Fail?

When I heard that BlackBerry or the well known "CrackBerry" as consumers say has announced a new phone, the first thought that came to my head was it is going to be unbelievably slow and worthless.
And I was completely...wrong!!!

This new Blackberry is set to be released mid September this year and I am looking forward to get my hands on this new toy.

Not only will this Bold 9900/9930 have a 1.2GHz processor to make it unbelievably responsive but it will also include 8GB of on board memory which will be expandable up to 32Gb via microSD, a 5MP camera which will record up to 720P and of course the business favorite the QWERTY keyboard and a Touch Screen!

Now this seems like a great phone, but  it doesn't have as fast of a processor as the Samsung Galaxy II S which will be release roughly around the same time and BlackBerry did not include a 4G option.  Aside from that it will be a great phone, but my pick would still be the Xperia ARC or the HTC 3D which will be shown later.

Joli!!!

Jolicloud, another operating system...or is it? Don't we have enough operating systems to deal with already. We have Windows 7, Mac OSX, Linux, Windows XP, Vista, etc.

My first thought is; Why do we need another operating system to deal with? And it's free, how good can that be! Well don't throw away Jolicloud so fast, it is actually a great operating system, reminds me much of Android on cell phones but much better and more fun!

Instead of me explaining how it works and what is so great about it take a look at a couple pictures and a small video to keep you entertained.

 Jolicloud Video Tour from Jolicloud on Vimeo.

Jolicloud has now got my recommendation. A great free operating system that will fly on any laptop, desktop and netbooks. Give it a shot, it's free, and take only 10 minutes to install.

P.S. You won't loose your current windows.

Gateway ID and NV

Here comes Gateway with more new releases. It has been a big year for Acer/Gateway (Gateway is a subsidiary of Acer) from the announcements of cell phones, desktops, tablets and the Acer Ethos which I will introduce in my next blog.


 Gateway has been around for years now and they have been upgrading their units at every chance they get to be able to match and surpass the other laptop manufacturers. The ID-series and the NV-series are the perfect laptops to choose from which range from 13" to 17" and usually quiet powerful yet quiet light.

iPad...Overpriced???

Welcome back everyone to another post of me hating on Apple! I am kidding, I have a couple Apple products myself and love them. So let's get back on track. Is the iPad and the new iPad 2 overpriced? YES!

Lets look at these figures that after a lot of research and answers from Wall Street and Hardware Experts here is how much the iPad 2 really worth.

iPad 2 disassembled

iPad 2

9.7inch LCD Screen is priced at $100
Aluminum case and 16GB storage is priced at $25
Apple A5 Processor is priced at $15
512mb of Ram is priced at $28
Warranty is priced at $20
Manufacturing of the iPad 2 is priced at $10
3G Interface is priced at $16
Camera priced at $3
WIFI Interface is priced at $11
Apple OS priced at $38
Charger priced at $6
Transfer cable priced at $4
Packing priced at $17

Total Manufacturing price: $290.00
Apple Retail price: $629.00

So if I am correct that is about $339 in profit which equal out to roughly about 53% profit margin.
These are true facts. 


Next time you go and by an Apple product, and people tell you they can't move on the price. Throw them this number and watch their eyes open real wide.

The Arc is Back!

Yes the underrated Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is finally out! As I am a huge fan of Sony, owning the PS3, PSP, PSP Go, Xperia X10 and a Vaio laptop, I have been anxiously waiting for this device to hit the shelf. Time to break the piggy bank and find $600 to be contract free!

Thank you to Engadget for all the photos

As some of you might not know anything about this phone so lets start at the basics.  My first point is this phone absolutely kills the iPhone.  Do not argue! The figures will prove my point.

• The Arc is thinner than the iPhone 4 and curves to perfectly sit in your hand. Hence  "Arc".

The Arc. 8.7mm thick

• iPhone 4 screen is 3.5inches and the Arc's screen is 4.2inches. Not only is it bigger, but it uses the Sony Bravia Engine so you really see the difference.

iPhone 4 vs Xperia Arc

• On performance it is a dead standstill, aside from full multitasking which the iPhone does not support to date.

• With camera quality, there is no fight here. The Arc sports an 8-megapixel camera as the iPhone a 5-megapixel.

As you can see the iPhone 4 can not keep up to the Arc is a lot of fields. But I am not saying go out and buy the Arc right away like I am going to. Give the Arc a chance and check it out next time your in a store and you will see what i am on about. None the less the iPhone 4 is unbelievable sexy in black or white.

P.S. iPhone 4S/5 is coming soon

Android and Acer

I owned everything from the SymbianOS from Nokia, to the Blackberry OS, to iOS from Apple and finally went to Android, and I am never going back MUHAHAHAHA.


So about Android OS and why is it better than the famous Apple OS. Well lets make a couple pointers.

• Android can run multiple apps. ( Well so can Apple but with apple its only a couple of their apps you can run in the background. With Android any and all apps can be run at the same time.)

You don't need to open anything

• Android has Widgets ( Basicly you don't have to open an app to see something, it is all on your home screen

• Android has a better App market.  ( Yes Apple has more apps, but Android has about 10,000 apps bet week added, and a lot of the apps are free )

Just a few devices with Android

• Android lets you choose your hardware!!!  ( This is the main peace. Almost every single brand has over 10 devices to choose from that carry the Android OS)

• Android fits your budget!!! Phones ranging from $100 to $1000 have Android. From block phones, to touchscreens, to flip phones and to touch screens with hard keyboards.

So I ask this question. Why pick Apple and the iPhone, or iPad, or etc?

Apple is just a fad, a fashion and a hype. It will go out of style. It's like walking down the street with 4 of your friends and 4 of them are dressed identically. NOT COOL!

Back to Edmonton

             I'm back to the City of Champions! Funny how it's called that since, the last time we won a championship was year ago. Why not call Edmonton the City of Two Seasons ( Two Seasons as in we only get the Winter season and the Construction Season), everywhere you turn you see construction "SLOW DOWN", yes I slow down, but come on why get a sporty car when you can't even get over 50km/h in an 80km/h zone. 

Anyways I kinda drifted of course here, since I am suppose to talk about technology, well not today. I just got back from my vacation and would like to show you where I have been. Click here to check out the Pictures from London, Rome and Ukraine.

One things I do have to mention is Europe is a totally different world. From my point of view, London is a chaotic but very organized city. ie: If you stand on the left side of the escalator, someone will hit you in the head and everywhere you step you will see either a Mercedes S-class, BMW 7-series.   Rome on the other hand is very relaxed city with lots of people in black suits with light blue shirts, and I mean ONLY light blue shirts! Aside from the blue shirt madness in Rome, the scenery is jaw dropping.  Don't forget to check out the pictures here.

The pictures you must see are from Ukraine since that is where I am from. The country is filled with untouched beauty and it gets better when you have a professional photographer taking all the pictures. Visit The Round Photo Blog to see all amazing pictures. I am still in awe about how amazing the country looks.
