iPhone Repair
How good is the insurance you may have with your iPhone?
It may be very good. However, in 99% of cases, the insurance will not cover broken screen-glass which is the most common repair needed. If you find yourself with a broken glass, and now you’re using your iPhone through the cracks, and you have just been quoted an almost obscene price to repair it, please stop, take a deep breath and consider some options.
1. You can simply pay the price being asked by the manufacturer.
If you take this route, you will be paying an amount of money roughly equal to the value of your used phone, in many cases. A better option may be to simply buy a used iPhone from someone who deals in used phones. Be sure to get a warranty covering parts and labor of at least 10 days, if you do this.
How will find a used iPhone? Your best bet is to search Craigslist. It may be tempting to buy from an individual. If you do, meet them in a very public place with good lighting, such as in front of a police station. A safer option may be to find a reputable iPhone repair shop which has a used iPhone for sale. A real shop will offer a real warranty including parts and labor for a period of at least 10 days, and up to 90 days. (more…)
Top 5 Reason To Buy iPad
0Almost a year after the first iPad was released Apple released its sequel – the iPad 2. Apple currently controls 80% of the tablet market with its competitors making little effect on sales. The iPad 2 was released as an answer to the Galaxy Tab, Motorola Xoom and many other tablets that considered themselves “iPad killers.” Should we all be riding along this iPad 2 wave? How good is the iPad 2 that millions and millions of people queued up just to get their hands on this new device. I will list some of the best reasons why the iPad is a must-have gadget for everybody.
5 Good Reasons why you need to buy an iPad
1. Price – For its functions, its capabilities and its versatility, the iPad is the most reasonably priced tablet in the market. Most of its competitors re-priced their devices when they realized that the iPad was priced lower than they expected. Of course you can always go choose a cheaper alternative but you miss out on all the reasons why the iPad is number 1.
2. Performance -If you liked the original iPad, you will love the iPad 2. The iPad 2 sports a dual core A5 processor with twice the RAM of the first iPad. This ensures the device to be extra fast and extra responsive on different applications.
3. Design -Thinner is better. Apple decided to resize the iPad 2 and to remove some weight – cutting it down from 730g to 607g. Take note that even if the company decided to cut off the dimensions, it still better than most devices twice its weight and size.
4. Applications -65,000 applications anyone? The Apple app market has more applications compared to Blackberry, Android, Windows Phone 7, and Symbian. Basically, this means that your iPad will have more uses than other tablets. The iPad also has quite a number of dedicated tablet applications at the App store.
5. It is the best -Honestly, you can just skip reasons 1 -4 and just go straight to 5. Others might say that the iPad is all hype and that there are other tablets that are much better than it. Well, there may be tablets that are more advanced or more flexible but the iPad offers something much more than that. The iPad is user-friendly, very desirable, sleek and has great application selection. Let’s face it, a tablet has limited uses. But with the iPad, you maximize those limitations. What you get is the best tablet out in the market.

iPhone Data Recovery
Just the other day, I spotted a fellow walking down the sidewalk, staring intently at his hands. I had to laugh as he barely missed banging his shins against a fire hydrant. It didn’t take long to deduce that he was working intently on one of those new smartphones. The grimace on his face and the wildly flailing fingers were a dead giveaway. I don’t know what “App” he was using, but it was obvious that he was working intently on some kind of project.
Smartphones, such as Apple’s highly popular iPhone, are taking their places in the digital arsenal of business folks everywhere. The ever-increasing storage capacities and growing number of applications designed for smartphones make them a virtual mobile office. Additionally, they hold huge quantities of photos, mp3 music files and other kinds of data, making them popular with the casual, non-business user as well. There are even smartphones that plug into a laptop-size monitor and keyboard device, mimicking the feel of a laptop for those of us with less than agile fingers.
When the wanderer gets back to the office or old homestead, the data can be synchronized with a personal computer or laptop. All the documents, photos, music and other data generated or stored on the phone are deposited on the computer’s hard drive, ready for additional editing or backup. The smartphone’s memory can be safely erased now that the data has been transferred. You did actually transfer it, didn’t you? Unfortunately, it can happen to the most conscientious of us. We altered or erased the data on our iPhone, only to discover that it had not been synchronized yet. In the words of an old folk song: It is lost and gone forever, oh, my darling Clementine! (more…)
