AirPlay, So Easy and Wireless!

What is AirPlay?  AirPlay allows the user to stream videos and music wirelessly through your iTouch, iPhone, iPod with the iTunes music player with iOS 4.2. iOS 4.2 is updated software that comes with many new features such as AirPlay. When you find that one incredible picture that you want to show to a party, you can stream it to your T.V. effortlessly. The whole party will be astonished at the picture and how easily you sent your picture to the T.V., no wires attached. All you need is an Apple T.V. and you will be wor7ry free. Technically of course because nothing is worry free. You can stream your videos easily to your T.V. Just think, you’re watching an amazing action scene on your iTouch. That little screen doesn’t give you enough emotion so instead you turn your T.V. on and click the AirPlay icon and there you go. The full action scene except on your T.V. that is easily bigger to see then on your iTouch.

The ease of use of the AirPlay is definitely recognizable. I always have those moments when I want to watch an action scene, but sadly I have to see it on my iTouch. Now that AirPlay has come out, I love the way that I can turn my T.V. on and easily play that action scene. Now that many movies have come out with major effects, it makes AirPlay that much more useful.

Apple’s online store in China a success!

Within 24 hours since the launch of the online Apple Store, the Apple Store sold out its entire stock of iPhone 4s. The new online Apple Store was a huge success in China. Apple wants to access China’s growing economy and online shopping market by selling Apple products through the new online Apple Store. With access to China’s growing market, Apple will be able to make about US $ 17.91 billion worth of transactions in the third quarter of 2010. The online Apple Store will be a more convenient way for China’s consumers to purchase Apple products. Unauthorized resellers are a big problem in China and are cause for concern. Apple hopes that the online store will prevent the selling of Apple products from unauthorized resellers because more people will more likely buy it directly from the new online Apple Store.

Apple’s success in China was inevitable. Apple is so popular in the United States, so why wouldn’t it be in China? iPhone 4s sold out within 24 hours. I am pretty sure that is a good sign. The online Apple Store will have to restock though and I would recommend that you check back often. Let me know if you have any thoughts on this topic.

The iPad is a do it all, large screen,  awesome device, and it just got better. According to blogs.barrons.com, OmniVision will supply CMOS image sensors for a second generation Apple iPad. The second generation iPad is said to release in the first quarter of 2011. According the Detweiler Fenton, an investment firm, has said that the iPad will come with two cameras. The iPad contains a 5 megapixel camera and a VGA camera and most likely will support Apple’s facetime video chat software. Apple has been the top of this certain industry because of their innovative designs and their willingness to change their products. The new iPad will a good change because many consumers like Facetime and having the ability to take pictures.

I think this is a  great move to have cameras on the iPad. Many consumers like cameras because they get to capture memories and cameras are very useful in many situations. The iPad now has an advantage over many eBook readers because the iPad can do many more things then just read a book. You can go on the internet, play games, watch movies and listen to music. With the addition of a camera, Apple has leaped over the competition and in my opnion, taken the top spot in ereaders.
