AT&T’s New Data Plans

AT&T revealed today their new data plans along with the announcement of the the availability of data tethering for iPhones, just in time for the big event next week where Steve Jobs will (most likely) announce the forth generation iPhone. They will no longer offer $30 unlimited data plans (their unlimited was really never unlimited, it had a soft-cap of 5GB), instead they’ll offer a 200 MB capped plan for $15 or 2 GB for $25, with each additional GB priced at $10.

iPad: My Review and First Impressions

First off, let me set the record straight: I’m an Apple fanboy. At work I use a 24″ iMac, my personal computer is a MacBook and I carry around an iPhone 3GS. I picked up an iPad on launch day (no lines, I had a reservation). So far, I am loving this new device, as a matter of fact, I’m writing this from the newly redesigned WordPress app for the iPad. I am loving the battery life on this thing: I left home this morning with 90% charge and I’m still at 51% after a day of heavy usage including video streaming, courtesy of Netflix, ABC and YouTube.

Battery life, check. Keyboard? Amazing, I’m typing pretty quickly on it right now. Screen? Gorgeous. Very bright and the vibrant. Just check out the Marvel comics app, the illustrations jump to life. Weight? 1.5 lbs doesn’t seems like much but it does get a bit tiresome to hold it in your hands after a while, but hey, I don’t think they’ve could’ve made this thing an ounce lighter.

Let’s talk a bit about software. Do I miss flash? Not at all. I’m not a fan of flash in the first place and everything I More >

New Redesign of my Blog

I am very happy to announce that I’ve finally finished my new WordPress theme for this site. I’ve been working on it on-and-off for the past couple of weeks and it has been finalized. If you see any bugs or any weird hiccups, please let me know.

Blog Features:

  • Designed completely from scratch
  • Theme is Sandbox based, heavily modified, which is a great foundation or framework for a WordPress theme
  • 6 widget areas (1 side, 2 after post, 3 footer)

So, what do you think?

Updated My Portfolio

I just finished working on 2 projects and I thought I would be wise to list them in my portfolio page (check it out by clicking here!). I did 2 WordPress-based blogs, integrating their existing designs into a full-fledged WordPress theme. Also optimized the WP installations as well as configured/tweaked several plugins for SEO and Social Networking. The first one is the Clicker Blog, available at http://blog.clicker.tv. They haven’t launched yet so the don’t have any content as of yet. The second one I just finished is the blog for Indie Printing, available here http://blog.indieprinting.com. What do you think of the theme integration/designs?

Upgrade from a 3G to 3GS Iphone for $200 NOW

We all know by now that Apple announced the iPhone 3GS, an upgrade to 3G (the S stands for speed) which will be available this Friday (June 19th). Its faster and takes videos (reviews here and here). They also announced the upgrade options which produced a lot of uproar amongst people who purchased an iPhone 3G; they are now required to pay $400 (or $500 or the 32GB) to do an early upgrade. These people that still have a year left on their contract and they still are upset because at&t won’t allow them to upgrade for the full subsidized amount of $200. Now, I don’t blame at&t, and they’ve even announced a 3 month grace period to try to appease some clients, but hey, they don’t need to lower the price even further; the demand is there.

So, let me let you in on a little tip on how to get a new iPhone 3GS for $200 (or less) if you have a regular 3G.

SELL YOUR OLD ONE!

Put it on Craigslist or eBay or just offer it to co-workers and friends. There are plenty of people who’d rather pay $200 for a used iPhone sans-contract, rather than $99 (which comes out More >
