image1730857111.jpgThe photo is a screenshot of the new video feature of the 3gs.

This is the main reason why I HAD to have the new iPhone

Videos come put surprisingly clear at 640 x 480.

You can upload straight to YouTube

I was really surpised at the sound quality on the video. It is superior to any digital camera video audio

Anyway, I will continue to update this post as I discover new features and uses.

bose_on_earSo my main Bose On Ear headphone broke :-(

Big problem because I wear them like 6 hours a day for increased focus and less interruptions.

So I went to best buy and picked up a pair of beats by dre ($325)

After being used to the comfort of my Bose…  apparently I was spoiled.

beats-by-dr-dre-thumb-480x439Although the sound was great.

Better Lows and louder at a lower volume settings…  (the sound was comparable to my Bose On ears.

So I ordered a pair of Bose quiet comfort 3 in hopes that they would be superior to my old Bose.

The qc3s get 2 thumbs down to me because you cannot listen to music unless the noise cancelling is turned on.

This means that if your battery dies… You are screwed!

So… I have to “worry” about keeping a battery charged!!!

No way dude :-(

quietcomfort3_1

Not tiki friendly. Too much stress.

So the surprising winner for me right now….

My old Bose on-ears that you can buy at Target do like $180

22-148-374-01Another thing that is not possible with a PC. (well possible but really sloppy)

I was close to running out of space on my main hard drive on my MBP.

I am blogging this because it was so friggin’ easy… I still cannot believe it.

So I ordered the new Seagate 500 GB 7200 rpm from newegg.com (my main source for tech stuff)

Prep.

1. Put the new HD in an enclosure that I got from OWC.

2. Use Disk Utility to partition (make sure you use the GUID option)

3. Used the SuperDuper program to “clone” my main 320 GB HD. (took about 3 hours)

4. Boot with the attached hard drive to make sure it works (hold the alt/option key)

5. Took it out of the enclosure and swapped out the drive (OWC website has a great video on how to do it)

6. Boot it up - Done :-)

Works perfectly.

I could have done a clean install. This is what I had to de with my PCs in the past because Windows would build up all kinds of “crap” and start running slow.

I have a dookie load or programs and still would have been like a 3 week process getting all my programs back on.. SOOO
I am very, very pleased with this setup.

That is one of the biggest reasons I love the mac OS. No “crap” No spyware or Viruses.

Just works!!! Yipeee.

white-iphone-3g1st - My Current iPhone 16GB White 3g
2nd - Tie between htc mogul and treo

OK, by now you are thinking I am a big apple fanboy.

guilty as charged.

Why do I friggin’ love my iphone?

It does so much more… so much better than any phone I have ever had.

It is like an extension of my laptop.

Gmail - gmail is almost as easy as sitting in front of my computer… so I can keep my email box clean during otherwise “wasted” moments… anytime I find myself standing there and ‘waiting”.

I bust out my iphone and gmail is super easy.

I also keep up with about 50 RSS feeds via google reader.  Another really great mobile app!

-Who - most used app for voice dialing.

-sonos - to control my multi-zone music system at home

-Outpost for managing all my basecamp projects

-Evernote - for capturing all kinds of notes

-shazam for song id

-WRAL - local weather and doplar

-flixter for movie listing and to watch trailers

-iBlueSky for mind mapping (compatible with mindjet)

-iBlooger - for mobile blogging

-Banking - online banking (send money via bill pay from anywhere.  Use it in church to tithe!)

-quip - for sending photos via sms

- maps are good.  my sprint turn-bu-turn was better on my mogul (but I think appple is addressing this)

- facebook app is sweet

- music and video ( Its a video ipod.  need I say more)  I like to put all of my IM (internet marketing) material in there.  I like to always learn stuff.

*pandora - sweet music service

There is tons more to say about this… I will continually update this post.

How do you use your iphone 3G?

features-hero20081014…my current one.

The latest MacBook Pro 15 inch.
fully loaded.

currently upgrading to the new 500gb 7200 rpm seagate drive.

This is my first Mac.

I had no idea what I was missing.

Build quality kills anything I have ever had.

My rig before this one was a custom built clevo for over $5k.

It was gnarly with 3 hard drives.  It weighed more than my 3 year old child.

Anyway, love my MBP size is perfect performs like a champ.

Never crashes, always snappy.

gotta go.  I will update this post with some more info soon.
