New Apple iPhone Tough To Find , Apple Marketing Excellence

Well we knew this would happen. Dont expect to purchase the new Apple iPhone at just any retailer you can find . News service Bloomberg is reporting that only three of 188 Apple Stores, in California, New York and New Hampshire — have phones available to sell today. One analyst has predicted that the shortage will last well into August. Does anyone out there have one? Want to tell us about it?

Teh shortage will preprtyate itself becaus eof the demand. People have got to have it and as with all new tech prdoucts , they wont rest until they hold one of these sleek little gadgets in theit hands.  Now doesn tit see that a company as large as Apple would have anticpated this kind of demand? It does to me, and I think it is a stroke of marketing genuis by Apple

Kodak Easyshare z1275 Review

kodak-z1275.jpgThe Kodak Easyshare Z1275 is a  quality camera that will deliver excellent resolution for your photo  needs.  The Z1275 is a fairly large and heavy camera by compact standards, measuring a substantial 89.5 × 64.5 × 31.6 mm and tipping the scales at 161g without batteries. As a inexpensive digital camera the Kodak Easyshare z1275 fits the bill. Just dont expect to o much out of it. You get what youpay for ,but the Kodak Easyshare z1275 makes a nice entry level type , family camera. Overall, this digital camera’s features are as expected for this price. However, you would normally pay nearly 35% more to get a compact camera with comparable resolution. Kodak EASYSHARE Z1275 is loaded with user-friendly features so that handling all 12 megapixels is incredibly easy. The Kodak EasyShare Z1275 is an attempt to bring 12 megapixels to the masses. I would say mission accomplished.

Nikon D200 Review

nikon_d200_large.jpgLets me start off by saying I’m a Nikon guy, and I am looking for a new camera for my other hobby, which is trying to prove to myself I can take good pictures. So today I began my search for the best digital cameras I could find to make a decision about what I wanted. Keep in mind I am upgrading from a Nikon D-50, yeah I know, it’s a toy compared to what is out there today, but as the picture shows I have taken some pretty good shots with it. This picture was shot from outside my aquarium through about 10 inches of moving water. I used a 60 mm Nikon Macro lens. Still I want something better and have landed on the Nikon D200

The Nikon D200 is made for amateurs like myself or professional photographers  who really know how to use a camera. It features 10.2 megapixel resolution and superbly built quality. Many of the D200’s features are actually taken direct from the top-of-the-range D2X.

What makes the D200 the logical choice for upgrading for me is the price range, always a factor when considering a digital camera purchase. I found that one of the  best digital cameras that Nikon makes is priced between $585.00 - $ 1100.00 depending on the package you select to take along with you. Now I know there are higher end cameras out there, but I need to be in this price range. If anyone out there wants to make  a suggestion , I am listening

Apple Reduces Cost on MacBook Air

Apple reduced the price of one of its centerpiece products and did so rather quietly.The MacBook Air has been resuced $500.00 on the high end to $2598.00 The MacBook Air, which Apple launched in January to some fanfare, has been sold in two configurations since then: with a traditional 80GB magnetic platter hard drive and a 1.6-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, or with a 64GB solid-state drive and a 1.8-GHz CPU. Solid-state drives (SSD) are built from flash memory and, unlike hard drives, have no moving parts. Ill tell what else does not have moving parts. The money in my wallet. It the same thing with everything that Apple makes start high, suck a few dollars out of the I cant wait to own it crowd and adjust , Ill wait a bit longer. Didnt they just reduce the price of the iPhone

AT&T Pricing for iPhone A Bit of BS

The announcement of the pricing for the new Apple iPhone really caused a ruckus. At 199.000 the entry point was finally affordable to most people , but now the pricing plan from AT&T seems to get you back and if you are an existing user , you really get a nailed . For the actual usage charges, all iPhone monthly service plans are available for individuals and families and are based on a new two-year service agreement with AT&T. Individual plans are priced at $59.99 for 450 minutes, $79.99 for 900 minutes and $99.99 for 1,350 minutes.. Still they wont have any trouble selling these phones.

Chinese Man Pays Millions to Dine With Warren Buffett

Got an extra 2.1 million laying around. Well for that price you get to have lunch with Warren Buffet . That is what a chinese investor paid for the privilege to break bread with Buffet . Zhao Danyang of the Hong Kong-based Pureheart China Growth Investment Fund won the auction, which ended Friday evening with a bid of $2,110,100. Thats one expensive lunch. It also set a reord for the larget charity auction on eBay.  Zhao and up to seven friends will dine with Buffett at the Smith & Wollensky steakhouse in New York City whenever the two men can schedule it. A spokeswoman for the Glide Foundation, which receives all the proceeds from the auction, identified the winner Saturday. Buffet ia well known for his philanthropy bent. In 2006, he announced his plan to give away the bulk of his nearly $49 billion fortune over time. Mr Buffet of you are looking for a good cause , I know a full time internet marketer you need to meet.

2008 Corvette Still The Best Looking American Made Sport Car

2008-corvette.jpgThe 2008 Corvette convertible is a sports car Made in America Chevrolet has made a lot of changes to make the 2008 Corvette more competitive against its European counterparts. Although it is not as mouth-watering as the new Z06 (505hp) or the soon -to-be-available ZR1 (600 hp), will be. If you are wondering why a story about a car on a tech blog. It is because I once owned a brand new Corvette , no it want a 2008 Corvette, but the technology Chevrolet uses on these cars is always way ahead of it time . Almost certainly options you see on the 2008 Corvette will show up on other cards a few years form now. I think it still the best looking car out there . The 2008 Corvette or the 19991 Corvette I owned

Flip Camera A Clever Little Camera

The flip camera is the new kid on the block . Digital Camera technology has now brought us teh flip camera. The flip camera is the cousin of the point and shoot camera but for video. Anyone can operate this flip camera. The flip camera fits nicely in anyone’s pocket and no conversion is necessary to get your video to the computer. Flip is a brand name, and other companies are producing similar cameras under a variety of names.  Our  guess is that Flip will continue to dominate the market and the word FLIP will become synonymous with this format of camera, tiny convenient and gets an amazingly good picture.

Virgin Mobile USA Unveils New Pricing Structure

One of the benefits to evolving technology and service is competition. Products debuts are great but you always end up paying for the technology first and it takes time for the price to get in line. Cellular phone service is no different . I can remember paying 300.00 a month for cellular service and carried around a 4 lb cell phone. The competition for cell service is fierce and companies realize consumers will change their providers for a few extra dollars a month. Today, Virgin Mobile USA made a move Tuesday to undercut other mobile providers offering unlimited rate plans. Mobile providers like T-Mobile and Sprint are currently offering customers an unlimited rate plan, with about $100 being the price customers can expect. Virgin Mobile USA cuts the price by $20 — except for customers who also want unlimited text and messaging, with texting, IM, email and picture messages, who will have to pony up another $10

This is similar to what discount airlines do. Make the base price so cheap , you cant say no and then nickel and dime you for extras, but it is an effective marketing strategy , so don’t look for it to go away  .
