Magic Trackpad

Just two days ago I bought a magic trackpad (made by Apple). I've been looking into it for a while, but now I've bought one from The Good Guys. We had received a gift card from one of our previous purchases, so my dad did a deal with me and now I have a magic trackpad for the computer in my room!

It's like a laptop mouse pad, your fingers do all the hard work of moving the arrow on your screen (joking).

Just incase you haven't seen or don't know what a magic trackpad is I've got some images.

One reason why I like the magic trackpad is that you can do many more new movements to control your computer. Such as (if your using a mac) fore fingers swipe across to move between full screen application, fore fingers swipe up will take you to mission control, and again fore fingers swipe down will take you to app Exposé. All up there are about 15 different movements that you can do with one hand to control your mac.

IOS 7

I'm excited about IOS 7, which has just been announced,  because it's going to have an improved Siri (at last) and a different looking everything! Airdrop, iTunes radio and control centre are some of the new features.

Better Siri: Siri will be upgraded with a better or more realistic voice and Siri is now a female or male voice, but I'm sure the new male voice will be called something different to Siri.

A different looking everything: As you can see Apple has changed the IOS look.

Airdrop: Airdrop is very handy if you wan't to send photos, videos and more to another iPhone user right next to you.

               





       
                           
                   



















iTunes Radio: I don't know everything about iTunes radio but it sounds cool.

Control Centre: I like the idea of control centre, because the most useful things in settings is just a swipe away, from any app.

Looks like fun to me, it comes out this US fall which is September the 22. Rumours say the iPad mini 2 will come out some time then, might even on that day!!!

In case you don't know, I'm looking to buy the iPad mini 2.

iPad Mini 2

I'm really excited for the iPad mini 2 because it will probably have all of the following: a retina display; hopefully an A6X chip or even better an A7 with ultra fast graphics and not wasting battery life; a bit of an improvement in the battery, up to 12 hours; much better cameras front and back; much, much better Siri (the currant one is no good) and I think there is going to be some kind of finger print sensor. I don't know whether it'll be like a scanner instead of a password to unlock your iPad or whether it'll be something else.

I'm definitely going to get the iPad mini with retina display (that's what I think it will be called). In fact I'm going to sell my lego crane and my iPod touch 2nd generation to go towards the cost. I could buy it without selling these items but it would use most of my savings. I looked on eBay and found out that you can get a good deal from my lego crane 8053 and I won't be needing my iPod so I'll sell that too. Hopefully I'll get at lest $250 for my two items, that would cover more than half the iPad mini and that would be great!!!

I think I would buy the white and silver version

         

Which one do you like better? : )
