Apple iPad

Posted on by

I am now the happy owner of an Apple iPad 3G 64 GB . I bought the iPad while in London last week – actually on the iPhone 4 launch day on June 24. It was fun to experience the buzz in the Apple Store on Regent Street.

I have been doing a bit of iPhone app programming and I look forward to try to program for the iPad. My first project will be to upgrade my current iPhone project to an universal app that runs on both the iPhone and the iPad. More on that later.

On my iPhone I have access to my work mail and calendar via Lotus Traveler – using VPN. I have yet to try to set this up on my new iPad but it should work exactly as on my iPhone – except for the much better mail and calendar experience due to the much larger display on the iPad.

New Apple MacBook Pro

Posted on by

I now own a Mac! More specifically I have bought an Apple MacBook Pro with the following specifications:

  • Model: MB985
  • 15.4″ display, 1440×900 pixels
  • 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor P8800 1066 MHz
  • 4GB memory (DDR3 1067 MHz)
  • 320GB 5400-rpm hard drive
  • NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics processor with 256MB GDDR3 memory
  • NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor (yes, it has two graphics processors!)
  • OS: Mac OS X 10.5.8

I bought a Mac because I would like to explore iPhone programming – and this requires a Mac in order to run the necessary tools for iPhone development (i.e. Xcode).

I must confess that so far I am really enjoying the Mac experience! Am I slowly turning into a Mac fanboy?
