With a little under a week to go until we can get an iPhone 4S in our hands, the queue has started. Two of my buddies are already outside the Apple Store in Regent Street London. Wow, this is really amazing, the dedication to getting the latest and greatest Apple device can only be commended. If you find yourself in the area, give them a shoutout and a cuppa tea ;)

The new Apple iPhone 4S went on sale today at around 8:40am in the UK. People raced to get their orders in early and the process seemed to go extremely well. My own personal order took literally twenty seconds. It seem that now the first batch of stock for delivery on and around the 14th October has now sold out. Apple's online store is now quoting a dispatch time of 1-2 weeks.
On another note, I have published a video on this link, detailing the UK & US pricing and some important links that might save you some money on your mobile phone purchases. Cashback might not apply to all orders, but save those links under the video for future use too.

For the first time in almost five years I could not bring myself to make a video today… I woke up to the sad sad news that Steve Jobs has passed away. Every time I switched that camera on it was impossible for me to complete a video from start to finish. However, I thought it appropriate to share my thoughts with you all, both on the Geekanoids & Technobuffalo websites.
Personally, I started out using boring beige or grey boxes, even the revolutionary Amiga that I loved so much, was that same uninspiring colour. When the Mac was born, my life changed forever. It fulfilled all of my computing needs with such elegance. Then, looking back to my first ever video on The Geekanoids Channel, that too was a case for an Apple product. So without Apple, I would most likely be in a completely different place now, living a completely different life.
I don't mind admitting that when I heard the news I actually cried. The first thing that I envisioned was the picture I have of Steve on my studio wall. Many viewers criticised me, saying that was just plain weird, having a picture of someone I don't even know hanging on my wall. Well, for me that picture is staying… even though Steve is gone, his ambition and drive definitely live on with me. I might not be able to influence the world as much as the great man himself, but whenever I look at that picture I remember what a great person he was. It will give me the strength to strive to make the world a better place and to share as much of my knowledge and love for technology with others.
Steve changed so many people's lives and shaped the way technology is used in everyday life. The way Steve spoke, the way he pushed the boundaries of technology and the people around him, was sometimes looked upon as arrogance. What he was actually doing was living each day as though it was his last. That is why everything he did was so insanely great and that is the way I try to lead my life too.
Next to my late Dad who I lost when I was a teenager, Steve Jobs was, and still is the second most inspirational person in my life. My thoughts go out to Steve's family, friends and work colleagues. I know how much it hurts to lose someone so close to you and I truly feel your sadness.

Apple revealed the iPhone 4S yesterday, but they did not tell us the UK pricing for various capacities. However, they did put the prices in their iOS app. See the picture below for what the new 4S is going to cost you.
Apple's new iCloud service stores your music, photos, documents and much more in the cloud. It then pushes them wirelessly to all your devices… how cool is that! Check out the video below.
Apple's new Siri technolgy is a major part of the iPhone 4S… your own personal digital assistant, I cannot wait to get my hands on this. Check out the Apple video below.
With the dual-core A5 chip, all-new 8-megapixel camera and optics, iOS 5, iCloud, and Siri, iPhone 4S is the most amazing iPhone yet.
I just love this guy, to be honest only started watching a regularly a couple of weeks ago. Lamarr is just so so funny. In this video he discusses Apple, iPhone 5 rumors, typing up tangled cords, & advice on the best vlogging camera!
MyGreatFest took place yesterday and suprise visitor to the event was Jon Bentley from The Gadget Show… how awesome is that. Check out the video below. [source www.mrthaibox123.com]
Vodafone made either a typo or leaked some interesting information about the iPhone 5. Their product page for their Sure Signal listed four different iPhone 5 models, including of course white (from launch). You can read the full article which was sourced from Apple Insider here.
It seems like the Twitter universe has gone crazy again, after somebody at CBS tweeted that the ex-CEO of Apple Inc had died.
The channel then apologised for tweeting out news that they had yet to confirm. This is really bad of them and shows how low journalism has changed, with this "Must be first attitude".
Lazar, one of the show’s executive writers tweeted, “On interest of all of us during @disruptgroup we unequivocally apologize for a oversight that was tweeted progressing today.-EP/ Host @WhatsTrending”
I want to go on the record as saying that this type of journalism is irresponsible and very upsetting for many. On a personal note it is Steve who has inspired me to do many things and thus I take it very personally.
It is also tweets like the one shown below that really annoy me, in fact they infuriate me. The likes of Gizmodo do really stupid reporting sometime and should learn to write article that endear themselves to readers, not anger them.
I personally hope the news is not true, but will report in a sensitive way once proper news comes in.
Wednesday 20th July 2011, Apple launched new MacBook Airs, a new Mini & Thunderbolt Displays. Check out this video for all the details and pricing.
