iPad. Hit or miss? Our take after testing one and tearing it down!

iPad. Is this the latest craze that Apple has pumped out?

We spent some time with one this past week and here are our thoughts. The iPad did not revolutionize anything. It appears to be, and functions like a giant iPhone, minus the cellular capability. Since the iPad 3G has not yet been released(we’re waiting for this one), a good friend of ours stopped by the shop to let us have at it with his iPad wifi-only model.

Yes it is super cool. Picture is great. Functions flawlessly. But unfortunately lacks a few things. First and foremost, a front-facing camera. This is critical in our eyes. How great would it be to use it on skype, from anywhere in the world! Second, a camera to snap photos. And third, the speaker didn’t seem all that loud.

Apple is the type of company that will release all this, just one feature at a time, and one model at a time, to keep its’ customers in anticipation. This is what they did with iPods and iPhones. Why would this one be any different?

We can see a lot of use with the iPad though. People can use it in their homes for touch screen remotes, keep kids occupied in car rides, and watch the news while waiting at the airport. It definitely is easier and way more convenient that opening a laptop. Takes up less space.

I can’t say that it is a complete home run for apple, but with 500,000 sold and many more to come once the 3G version comes out, it’s definitely a step in the right direction. I’ll honestly be more impressed when they come out with a killer OS for it and front and back facing cameras. For now, it’ll do.

iFixYouri.com already supports iPad Repair, covering glass, lcd, and many other full service repairs and DIY kits.

Stay tuned for a full tear down coming soon(we’re waiting patiently for the 3G version).

One thing that does look awesome on it is our website! Thanks to dimitrikennedy.com

Our thoughts on leaked iPhone 4G photos

Many people have been asking us what we think about the supposed iPhone 4G that was left in a bar and shortly after picked up by Gizmodo. Here’s what we think:

It’s all part of Apple’s marketing machine to stir up talk about a new device that they have given little to no insight to the general public about. I do not see how someone could have gotten out of Apple Headquarters with the iPhone in their pocket. Apple wouldn’t allow it. Plain and simple. Prototype iPhone is not a daily phone for anyone, let alone someone who would leave it at a bar. Apple did succeed. Everyone is talking about it. Everyone. This is why they are so successful and dominate the portable handheld device market.

Some other questions regarding it that deserve answering…

What do you think the new features will be? I would say front facing camera, higher megapixel camera(probably around 5) with flash, 4G capability, and perhaps a unibody metal design. If Apple were smart, they would introduce it to additional carriers.

One thing is for sure, we’re prepped and ready for supporting the new iPhone 4G. It will be interesting to see what they come at us with next. Release date is still to be determined. We are speculating around June but only time will tell.

The Bloggers

Chris

The founder of iFixyouri Inc., Chris is just an innocent repair engineer junky who has found himself amidst blogger stardom, thanks in no small part to a iphone 4 screen damage test he performed. His response so far can be summed up in one syllable, “uhhhhhhh.” His role within the ‘The Bloggers’ is to perform more tests, complete with video, as well shared knowledge of the repair world whenever we are deserving of his insight.

Tony

Another repair engineer junky posing as a blogger, Tony has be vital in building out DIY content for a variety of repairs. If there is a test performed, picture taken or iPhone fixed odds are it could be Tony. He can commonly be seen at passing out business cards and yelling “iPhone Repair….HERE!”

Herman

Self proclaimed ‘Blog Czar’, Herman spends entirely too much time sitting behind the computer, talking to other people about how to best repair their broken electronics and blogging about it. He prides himself in blogging all over the internet, except for the super powers that Chris was published on immediately. He feels blog envy but his issues lie much deeper than that.

iPhone repair or iPhone upgrade?????

Many of the people out there in iWorld are wondering whether to opt for iPhone Repair or just upgrade. Is it better to fix my old 3g or just upgrade to the 3gs? Should I even bother getting this 2g fixed? Should I fix my 3gs or just wait for the new up and coming jugernaut that Apple puts out? In my eyes, the answer is simple, fix it or use it. Why spend the money to upgrade to a 3gs when it is just going to be upgraded to the new 4g in a couple months. However, if you have a 2g, let’s be honest, that technology is about to be really out of date and not worth much. If you have a 3g or 3gs with a broken screen send it to us and we will make it like new. Its amazing what we can do. Water damage, cracked screen, no power, no sync……NOT A PROBLEM!!!!
