Post 015

The 21st post is dedicated to the newest and hottest in the electronics industry : E3 and WWDC. Sad I don't have anything to update in ages...

Let's start with Apple. Every single year, at approximately this time, we wait intently for the new iPhone. No....they can't do that this year, they just released the white iPhone 4. Gotta say...black iPhone 4 is still prettier.

Apple has made a big fuss of making your experience with your iOS device unbelievable. They have been amazing in terms of the little things. It's with time, that you realize how much an Apple product had made a perfect choice in design (unless you own an Apple product and love it already, then any subsequent release will have you saying : wow...nice move). Apple's latest updates are actually nothing short of spectacular. The details, are not worth going over...why have me talk about it when the entire world has coverage on it already. So....start here, then search it up on google if you're still interested.
It's very strange though..Apple has this obsession with saying "10 key features" throughout the entire keynote. Maybe it's a time thing...but I guess it makes sense to talk about 5% of all your new features to keep people on the hook.

E3, has some nice new releases, with Microsoft announcing new Kinect games, especially Forza 4, the new Tom Clancy game and their new Kinect Fun Lab...but what I must say is, Kinect was never really Project Natale. Project Natale debuted at E3 about 2 years ago, and without a doubt, it was amazing back then. Today, it is amazing for what it is, but unfortunately, it never really lived up to it's hype. Perhaps, it was a financial decision that changed the way Kinect is, but without a doubt, fans were slightly disappointed. Let's hope this changes things.

Sony debuted their latest PSP successor, called the Vita. *shrugs*

Now, here's the really amazing part about this time of year, is because we're all really anxious because we're dying for some excitement throughout these summer months. However, that's the sad part. We are so hyped and anxious right now, that by the time these products do come out, we'll be on edge and itching to buy one. We've been talking about it all summer, that by the time these products come out, we'll be so high strung. The worse part is, we're not alone, so by the time you are in the store trying to get your hands on one, you'll end up having to have to fight about 30 other hardcore fans, only to realize, it was sold out about 2 hrs ago, because the first batch sold out that quickly. Of course, unless you're one of those people who line up at midnight, in which case, well....I don't even know what to say considering I've never done that, so I'll have no words of comfort to offer.

Happy waiting!
