New Apple Rumors

Apple has been very busy lately since the release of the iPhone 5 and the iOS 6 bugs. lol But this past weekend was the release of the iPod family, iPod Touch 5G and the new iPod Nano.  But now more Apple products are starting to appear up for the new announcements and releases of a iPad Mini, Mac Mini, and a new Macbook Pro 13 inch with Retina display. Also there has been word that a iPad 4 is in works now. So what does all this mean? Well, Apple just wants to make sure that its not forgotten. Well maybe not. With Microsoft promoting their new upgrade software of Windows 8, Apple wants to make sure that the consumers know who is in charge and ready for war.  Microsoft is too busy with Windows 8 ads to even care about Apple new products, or if they are even coming this year.  Lets see about Apple.

So how much is these new products much of a rumor or reality?  Is there really a iPad Mini with a 7.8 inch screen on the way? Will there be a 13 inch MacBook Pro retina display coming and what about a new Mac Mini?  Are all these products coming out in the next week or so following the new Windows 8?  We will find  out next week, once everything has been announced and released.

Price Cut for PS Vita is coming 2013?

Hey guys, we really haven't talked about the PS Vita on this website.  But seen some interesting article on Gamespot.com. They stated and also "Europgamer" that the PS Vita will be having a Price Cut in 2013.  Dont know when in 2013, but it will be happening.  Sony said that a price cut is too early for a 2012 price cut.  So the PS Vita will be getting it in 2013.  But as of August, there has been several of Ps Vita bundles including the Madden Bundle and later this month will be featuring a Assassin Creed III bundle.  So that won't be so bad.  So if you can't wait on the price cut to come out next year and you want a PS Vita this holiday season, we sugguest you all look for the bundles.

Why Prepaid service is better than contract?

What do you like about contract annual phone plans?  Are they really the best plans to have now?  Why isn't the prepaid plan not such a hot topic? Why are you not using a prepaid phone today?  Many questions are asked but all maybe answered.

PrePaid Plans:

For those of you who don't know too much about prepaid cell phone plans. Prepaid is the meaning where you decide what to pay, when, and how to pay.  Prepaid gives you the freedom without trouble.  Prepaid doesn't charge you over what you want for with what you have.  Although the selection of phones for prepaid are limited, there is still good variety to choose.  With the way the economy is today, why you wouldn't you want to go prepaid?  Why would want to stay on a contract when there is no telling if the market will crash the next day or you lose your job the next day or anything.  When it comes to prepaid, you wont have to worry about paying a huge fee for a late phone bill or reactivation fee plus the next monthly bill.  All that will add up and cost you more than what you had to begin with before you started the contract.  With prepaid, no worries at all.  There are a lot of options to choose from and more.  Just about every carrier has a prepaid option to pick if you not wanting to sign a 2 year contract agreement.  You can choose how many minutes you would like to have each month or just for 30 days if you like it that way.  Plus some carriers give you a 90 day plan, and some even have a 1 year plan which is just $100. So if you all were to do a prepaid plan, the best bet would be the 1 year plan for a $100 refill card to keep your phone service active for a full 365 days. No worries about your phone line being shut off that way.  With At&t pay as you go plans starting off with 250 minutes for $25 with unlimiting texting can be a good start for some users.  Well, for those who do more texting than talking. With that option your plan expires in 30 days.  Now with the unlimiting everything starting at $50 for 90 days, this gives you time to save up for the 1 year deal.  After that, no worries.


So to conclude the topic, the pre-paid plans are better than the annual contract plan.

Technewsandrumors impression on iPhone 5 aka iwack

Hello everyone, this is the Review for the iPhone 5. Its WACK! Yea, ladies and gentlemen. You see the words correct.  The iPhone 5 is WACK. It is not impressive at all. There isn't anything about this phone that is impressive compared to the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4. The big major enhancements as we all noticed was the bigger screen size.  Compared to the past iPhones, they have stayed at 3.5' inch screens. 4 inches is really not that impressive at all if you seen the all new Samsung Galaxy Note II which is releasing soon.  4inches isnt enough for me to upgrade or purchase. Also, the Apple chip A6. This processor is really slow. It no better than the A5, which the iPod Touch 5G finally gets. I rather get the iPod than the iPhone 5. At least it comes in different colors and is thinner than ever.  Just saying.  Also, a 8 MP camera with iSight? Is it that much better than the Lumia PureView or Samsung Galaxy S3 camera?  Guys, lets not even go there.  If anything, the new look even turns me off from it.  The back is different of course.  But is it really that much different compared to iPhone 3GS? Comon, you all know what the back of that iPhone looked like and even the first iPhone.  Lets put it this way, even the iOS 6 wouldn't even get me to upgrade to this or purchase it.  The iOS 6 will make all the apple mobile devices look the same.  So it won't help the iPhone 5 at all.  It can't save its life.  Oh and what about the battery life? How much RAM does it hold?  Lets be truthful guys.  This is where Apple will fall now.  Sorry Apple but it looks like your iPhone lost its Mojo.  So the final grade for the new unreleased iPhone 5 is.... C-  And thats a sympathy C- for me.  But if you all want to pre order this phone, you can on September 14th.  iPhone 5 is shipping on September 21st and the iOS 6 will be released on Septmeber 19th. Click here to go the Apple site.  That is, if you are wanting the iPhone 5.  http://www.apple.com/
