Black Friday 2009: MacMall


Here at Gear Live we’re big fans of MacMall. Why? Because they consistently beat Apple in terms of pricing, by way of rebates – and their rebates don’t take forever to process.  MacMall will be having a fairly nice Black Friday 2009 sale on a bunch of Apple gear, as well as a few surprises,…

Acer Liquid A1 gets previewed


The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 may have been making the Android headlines this week, but it’s not the first smartphone running Google’s open-source OS to pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset.  That honor goes to the Acer Liquid A1 – though the company have apparently underclocked the CPU to 768MHz – set to be the first…

TwitterPeek gets reviewed


Should we be surprised that Peek’s TwitterPeek messenger has pretty much fallen flat in its first review?  The dedicated Twitter messenger has been official for less than 24 hours, but already PC Mag have slated its speed and functionality, not to mention questioning its very purpose.  Among the TwitterPeek’s flaws are poor displaying of messages…

iTunes, Apples music store, is a great way to download music to your iPod or just for your pleasure. iTunes has required an update for awhile. Although iTunes has received minor upgrades. In the new iTunes 9 the status bar has been “polished” and given a 21st century look. The new Genius feature has also been redefined. It offers suggested playlists with their album covers. Genius has also been added to the AppStore to help you pick out of thousands of apps.

iTunes remains to be lagging and a little slow, but Apple has taken a necessary step to keep iTunes at the top. Another feature on the new iTunes 9 is application rearranging. On your iPod Touch have you ever felt that it’s a little aggravating to move your apps directly on the iPod. Well now you can do it on your computer. Overall iTunes 9 is “better”, but not perfect. Keep going Apple, hopefully in the future the “slowness” problem will be solved.
