[Video] iPhone 4 Face Time Call

iPhone 4 in stores in two days. I must say that I’m going to be at the Apple Store at 4 a.m. Call me a nerd if you want but I have a weakness for gadgets –especially Apple gadgets.
Pianist plays iPad for encore at concert
Apr 23rd
This dude, Lang Lang, is dope. After a show he whipped out his trusty iPad and played “Flight of the Bumblebee” on a piano app as if it were a Steinway. I have a piano app on mine and I just learned myself on how to play “Amazing,” “Welcome to Heartbreak” and and that piano break “Resistance.” None of which actually sound much like the real songs but still.
In other iPad news… A 100-year-old woman says it changed here life.
Sound Man Car Audio installs iPad in dashboard
Apr 6th
I got my iPad on Saturday and everything you hear about it is true. It is a big iPod Touch. And it is the dopest piece of technology out right now. Skip to 4:45 to see it in action. On the other hand, we have these idiots at a Best Buy smashing theirs minutes after buying it.
Apple’s iPad
Jan 28th
This looks too dope! Rumors have been floating around for months but it looks like we finally have it.
My thoughts? Well…
- This is pretty much a glorified iPod Touch yet with a twist. The interfaces for the apps are more intricate and look like they give you more control.
- I can see this being used to give presentations to clients at a table or something.
- Say goodbye to the Kindle. The iBook app is going to kill!
- I’m getting one.
See Apple for details.

L5 is releasing an accessory that will allow you to turn your iPhone or iPod Touch into a universal remote that can control your “TVs, cable boxes, stereos, DVD players, ceiling fans, air conditioners, and many other products.” The L5 remote connects to the docking port on your iPhone/iPod Touch and uses no batteries.
The remote doesn’t run on WiFi or Bluetooth but connects directly to your TV with free software to be available on iTunes. You can customize the digital remote to control up to 1000 different devices with a 100,000-button capacity and 30-foot range.
The L5 is going for $49.95 when it drops if February. Get updates here. This seems like a must for me. I have a thing for gadgets.
