What's in store for tech in 2012?

I don't have much experience writing blogs about particular subjects other than my own personal life. It's easy to talk about personal things which touch you the most after all. So, I decided to meld both my personal life and opinions with my thoughts on tech. Wait, don't people already do this? Of course, but like I'm saying, I'm new to this sort of thing. I don't mean to sound hasty with these early blog postings, but I just want to jot something down quick for the sake of it all!

So, here are my predictions and thoughts for tech in late 2011 to 2012:

In late 2011, of course we're getting iOS 5.0. That's right, we get Apple's latest iOS that's gonna come packed with a new notifications system (about time). And hopefully we get an even powerful iPhone -- don't forget a dual-core processor, 8.0 Megapixel camera and 64GB worth of flash storage (come on, Apple)! I'm guessing the outer casing will be designed like the iP4 which is fine I suppose. And of course, we'll get new iPod Touch's powerful enough to handle iOS 5 -- and don't forget the rest of their line-up like the Nano and Shuffle. Also, I personally can't wait for the PSP Vita! That thing is gonna be a beast, sporting 512MB of RAM and a multi-core processor and a 960 × 544 display. Look out for that thing late 2011!

As you can see, I like Apple tech. Who doesn't? Besides the Android crowd that is. Tech in 2012, I'm looking at phones and portables that sport dual-core/quad-core mobile processors now! A gig of RAM is probably going to be the minimum due to all the fancy new UI changes and upgrades. I'll expect higher PPI screens as well! 1080P easy, baby.

So, that's just a really simple, basic rundown of what I'm expecting soon. That's one good thing about moving forward in linear fashion, you get to experience new and better tech! For now, I'll enjoy what I have in the present and I think everyone else should to as well. I'm only 25 years old right now, I don't want life to change too fast either!

Thanks for reading my simplistic blog entry, I'll be back later to update soon! If you're a random reader or watcher of my tech videos on YouTube and want to contribute, please do! Leave me a comment somewhere here with any ideas or requests and I'll be more than happy to follow up with you!

Till then, farewell!

HP TouchPad Drops in Price to $99

According to Engadget and their sources, the HP TouchPad is dropping in price fast. The low end 16GB flavor of HP goodness has stooped down to $99 at several online Canadian retail stores, namely Best Buy, Future Shop, etc. No word on whether the price drop will make it to US online retail stores just yet.

Apparently it looks like HP has decided to stop selling and marketing WebOS designed products. I would say HP is taking a new direction instead of trying to constantly compete with the iPad's dominance over the tablet market. I think it's unfortunate that WebOS should ever be killed off. It's one of the coolest looking OSs I've ever used.

You can check out the Engadget article for yourself. If I had a hundred bucks lying around and wanted a cool, new tablet experience, that's Adobe Flash capable, I'd definitely pick one of these babies up! Give the HP TouchPad a chance, check out the article here for more information:

Quick Look at the iPad 2

Not a comprehensive review or anything, just me playing around with the new iPad 2 over at Best Buy for fun. Any first generation iPad owners out there like myself? Personally I think the boost in specs (512 MB memory/A5 dual-core chip) are nice, but I was hoping for a Retina Display-like screen, though. Leave a comment/rate and tell me what you think about Apple's newest tablet! [Originally recorded: 03-18-11]

iPhone/iPod Touch YouTube app Buffering Problems (Possible Fix)

Does anyone have problems watching videos using the stock YouTube app for iOS? I show how annoyingly most videos either take forever to buffer or they stop buffering completely. The only real solution I can offer is to change your DNS along with updating your router's firmware. This may not work for everyone either, so just keep on troubleshooting! If you have any suggestions or similar stories to share, please leave a comment (also, hit "Like" if you can)!
