Rake Point

People have been day dreaming with the rumor to be released Apple Tablet. We have even seen Valleywag-gawker offer a reward up to 100K for information or even spending time with this product. People come on I know its a life changing gadget and we all want it but 100K for information, don’t you think it’s a little over the edge?

Lets just save money so we can buy this tablet and enjoy it as soon as it rolls out. I think the price tag for this tablet could be between 600 – 800 dollars.

Im planning on getting a net-book, but Im holding until the tablet is officially out so that I can compare the tablet and the net-books and make the right choice.

I know many of you are thinking of running to the nearest Apple store the day our little friend Steve lets us see this beautiful tablet but I think we should first pray that Apple ships this immediately and not on march like the rumors we have been hearing on the web.

The only thing we can do at this time is wait till the 26 or 27th of Jan till Steve gets on the stage and presents this wonderful thing that will change our life’s.

Will Santa finally hear our prayers on Jan 2010?

We have been seeing a lot of rumors lately of the new Apple Tablet, we have even seen a possible name this new product can adopt. This name is expected to be iSlate. This product is expected to be launched on Jan 26 2009, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Lets hope the stories are true this year, I remember being excited Jan 2009 about this “tablet” and then getting all sad and disappointed about not getting it. I’m planing on getting it as soon as it rolls out. Lets just hope they don’t charge a big fortune for this product and no required 3G plans attached to it. It would be great to have 2 versions, one version with 3G and the other without 3G. Stay tuned for more information about this event and tablet news.

This is the first of many posts to come from today on. I just downloaded the new Wordpress 2 for iPhone. Looks really fast and stable!!! Very happy with it. A better review later of this great new app!!!

Stay tuned!!!

Today like an extreme iPhone lover I saw the clock said 3 A.M. at Miami so I said “Yes its tuesday iTunes refreshes the App Ads on the App Store” When I saw ITS THE APP STORE’S BIRTHDAY!!!” Yes one year ago the App store launched and has grown to have 50.000+ Apps (number updated on June 8, 2009). Lets sing happy birthday and go crazy buying apps for the iPhone!!!

Today I received an email from Amazon saying I could pre-order Windows 7 and save 50% from the original price. Yes, run and buy it now! People come on are you really going to buy Windows 7 after the great hit Vista. Just lets do the right thing and buy a mac instead buying 7 and then realizing its not what everyone expected as what happened to Vista and go and spend again money to buy a mac.

How many versions of 7 this time Microsoft? People ask me which one is the best for them. Why doesn’t Apple make so many versions of Leopard? I think its because Apple only has to do ONE thing to get this right from the start.

Which version are you?

Prices are:

Home Premium Full Version $199.99

Home Premium Upgrade $49.99

Professional Full Version $299.99

Professional Upgrade $99.99

Ultimate Full Version $319.99

Ultimate Upgrade $219.99

Who would like only one version of Windows and make it simple for users to choose? I know all of you Window users are confused about what version should you upgrade to but they made it simple JUST READ!!!

Please leave a comment on which version you are planning to buy.

Today I finally linked Rake Point with twitter and this is my first post trying the new plugin. The plugin name is Twitter Updater. Will keep you up to date on how well this works for us.

Follow us on twitter @etarud.

This week I went to an Apple Store to upgrade form my iPhone 3G to a new 32 GB iPhone 3G S, thinking AT&T was giving the option to iPhone 3G users who got the iPhone between July – September a good upgrade price meaning 199 or 299. Turns out yes we are getting early upgrade price of 399 or 499 depending on the model we want to get, and if you didn’t get it those dates you have to pay full price 599 or 699.

AT&T come on, iPhone users have the most expensive minute plan because we don’t get a regular plan as other users, but instead we have to pay a more expensive plan with less minutes, with an expensive data plan, plus an additional sms plan. If thats not enough we have to wait TWO YEARS before we can upgrade to another phone. AT&T if you want to keep the exclusivity agreement with Apple on the US be more flexible, we pay more money than other users and receive less benefits. I know the iPhone is the best phone out on the market but come on if you weren’t the only carrier with it on the US believe me I wouldn’t be an AT&T user.

Well, I always look on the bright side you make me pay more money, but with the new iPhone Firmware 3.0 Im getting my moneys worth with tethering for free and believe me its very good, very fast and best of all free for know so take advantage while this lasts. (You don’t have to jailbreak you iPhone for this to work just install the carrier settings for AT&T and thats it. Remember Rake Point doesn’t support this methods but we were testing it. If do this its at your own risk.)

The pictures that show iPhone on tethering mode are actually from iphonebuzz but the method used by them was not the one tried on our iPhone 3G.

Just in time for the 09 WWDC we are here and exited just like you are. We have been away for a while but were back on track on all the new gadgets, rumors and news stay tuned for more geek things!!!

Apple is rocking on September 9 with their iPod season. It look like we will see new thing for iPod Touch and iPod Nano. Some sources say that we can even see 10 different iPod’s Nano. We will keep you up-to-date on new things as they arise on the upcoming event next tuesday, September 9.

So this was found on the web. Looks that our big brother Woz is supporting the Jailbreak method and maybe also has unlocked his iPhone.

Lets see what Jobs thinks of this. Woz may look happy but I’m sure Steve will call him eventually and whip his ass!!!!
