Google Chromecast Unboxing and Demo

chromecast-unboxing-demo-6

Google launched the Chromecast last week and we already managed to get hold of this interesting device on FoneArena. So what does a Chromecast do ? It is basically a dongle for your TV which lets you watch online video and more on your large screen TV. You can watch Youtube , Netflix ,  Google Play movies and your Chrome brower tab on your large screen TV using this tiny little dongle which connects to it using the standard HDMI socket.Most modern TVs would draw power from the HDMI itself but certain older ones like mine would require external power. Nice that  Google has decided to include a HDMI extender and also a power solution in the box. Watch the unboxing and a short demo in the video below

Another Apple I Headed to Auction with $125,000 Estimate

Earlier this year, MacRumors reported that one of only about 50 Apple 1 were still in existence. That unit sold at an auction for approximately $375,000. The Daily Mail now reports that another Apple 1 is being put up for auction in early October. However, this time the unit is non-functional and has been estimated to fetch lower but still substantial £80,000, or roughly $125,000.

The Apple I is good aesthetic condition and the motherboard represents the first piece of hardware built by Apple in 1976. This computer was created by co-founder Steve Wozniak with help from Steve Jobs and is one of the world’s first and most significant personal computers. In addition to the functional Apple I that was sold earlier this year, Apple’s founding documents also sold at an auction for nearly $1.6 million last year. When the Apple I was first introduced in 1976, it was priced at $666.66, with only about 200 of the units having been produced.

Rumour : Apple might open Retail Stores in India soon

apple store india
Apple might open it’s own Retail Stores in India soon according to a report by LiveMint which quotes an unnamed source in a government body Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion. The Indian government has approved 100% Foreign Direct Investment FDI in Single Brand Retail recently. So such a move by Apple will not be surprising,as they have massive expansion plans for Asia. Apple has not commented much about India in particular in the past but the quick launch of the iPad 2 with decent pricing and iPhone 4S with crazy pricing are indications of things to come.  The most popular tablet I see when I travel in India is the iPad and I have spotted a lot of iPhones as well.

Mac App Store Downloads crosses the 100 Million Mark.

Roughly designed around the iTunes App Store for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple fashioned the online outlet the previous year as a steadfast place to obtain their Mac software. A million people doubted it. Yet, as of today, Apple proclaimed that the Mac App Store crossed above 100 million downloads. It abides the same 70-30 profits divide, where software developers split 30% of their trade with Apple, except if the application is free of charge.

A Byte of Apple : 11 Predictions for 2011!

Man, what an #epic #win year it’s been for Apple! Poor-antenna-PR aside, pretty much everything the folks from Cupertino launched hit gold in 2010, whether it was the refreshed take on the iPods or the iPhone or the all new iPad, which spawned an almost dysenteric flow of Android tablets for the rest of the year! Not to forget the impossibly thin(ner) MacBook Air, which points to the future of how Apple notebooks will be. Think about it – a Jan. 27 iPad announcement, then the April 8 iOS 4 preview followed by the June 7 WWDC launch of the iPhone 4, and then the Sept. 1 iPod updates and finally…closing out the year with the Oct. 20 ‘Back to the Mac’ announcements! Phew! Continue reading “A Byte of Apple : 11 Predictions for 2011!”

A Byte of Apple: Our weekly wrap on all news Apple!

It’s been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride for the little big company from Cupertino this past week. Despite AT&T’s best efforts to keep the iPhone 4 out of the hands of subscribers – we wrote about the server meltdowns that the overwhelming demand for the new iPhone had caused last week – the iPhone 4 hit eager hands starting June 24th and for some lucky folks who’d preordered, as much as a day earlier! And how it hit! Apple’s reported first three days sales of 1.7 million iPhone 4 models, besting launch records set by previous iPhone models, with the iPhone 3G and 3GS selling in the region of 1 million in the first weekend after launch. Almost makes the other news from last week – 3 million iPads sold in 80 days – pale in comparison, doesn’t it?
