8 Social Media Treasures We Learned from Old Spice

If you have been alive for the past few days and have come anywhere near anything that resembles the internet, you probably heard about the latest online campaign by Old Spice. It is being called by many the best use of social media ever and Google’s CFO even called it “The future of marketing”. If you somehow did not hear about the brilliant campaign, let me sum it up for you.

 

Apple’s Marketing is at it Again with iPhone 4 and FaceTime

Apple is undergoing quite possibly its largest PR disaster in its history. The new iPhone 4 has had stains on many displays, major reception issues that Apple handled quite poorly, and even an iPhone 4 explosion incident. Yet, with all this bad coverage, the iPhone 4 is hands down the most successful Apple product launch ever (1.7 million phones in 3 days).

 

The Marware Eco-Vue is the Mother of All iPad Cases

One of the direct results of a new tech product being released on the market is the birth of many industries to support the new toy. This is true for new popular mobile phones, it is true for computers, and it is definitely true for a product like the iPad. The iPad accessories industry is booming with hundreds if not thousands of sites dedicated exclusively to iPad accessories.

 

Apple’s Flawed Masterpiece: An In-Depth Review of the iPhone 4

The smartphone market has become a very competitive place over the last year.

Unlike previous would-be iPhone killers, superphones like the Droid X and the EVO 4G are running mature versions of Google’s Android operating system.

 

5 Fundamental Flaws of the iPhone 4 Launch

With the iPhone 4 launch behind us, I think it is safe to say that not only was it a success, it might have topped all previous product launches with what is estimated as 1.5 million iPhone 4s sold in one day. Ever since Apple announced the phone, no scratch that, ever since Gizmodo showed us the phone, everyone knew it was going to be a hit. With the new beautiful design, the additional memory, the unprecedented display, and the improved camera, the new iPhone is a force to be reckoned with.

 

9 Apps Every iPad Owner Must Download

So I have been getting a lot of feedback on my previous post about the issues I have with the iPad and apparently people got the very mistaken impression that I am not happy with the device. This could not be further from the truth and at the risk of definitely being called a fanboy in the comments, I will say that Apple did a phenomenal job with their debut into the world of tablet computers.

 

11 Things That Bother Me About My iPad

Yesterday was a big day for me. While I am a complete gadget nut and always want the newest toys, truth be told, I am not much of an early adopter. It is mainly budgetary constraints since I do not usually have money laying around to buy the newest toys. However, yesterday, I got my iPad 3g 64GB.

 

3 Reasons to Switch from BlackBerry to iPhone 4 (and 3 Reasons Not To)

I knew this day would come. In fact, when I first purchased my BlackBerry Bold, I informed my provider that I was not willing to commit to the BlackBerry service for an extended period of time. I did that because I knew that at one point or another, I would be making the transition to iPhone. However, the first iPhone to come out after I started using the Bold was the 3Gs. As impressive as that extra speed was, I was not going to give up on the BlackBerry email experience for a little more processing power. So, I waited.

 

A Secret Twitter Feature and The New Dell Streak Tablet

Here I was, thinking I knew everything there was to know about Twitter (follow me here), and a short private conversation I had yesterday changes it all. Let me back up a little. It is no secret that I am a big sucker for new shiny mobile devices, so when Dell announced that they are entering the new tablet market, I was of course very excited. All the tech sites were reporting that Dell was releasing their 5 inch mobile phone/tablet device dubbed the Dell Streak and that it would be available in the US unlocked for $500.
