The Mac Space now has an iPad!

I’m happy to announce that I’ll be able to test out iPad accessories and software now for posts here at The Mac Space! I’m now the proud owner of a WiFi 16 gig version iPad, still sealed in the box.

Not playing with the new toy yet

I’ve decided to trade it in and upgrade the unit to a 3G 32 gig version, so I can use it on the road. As soon as I scrape up the extra dough I’ll be making the switch and putting the iPad to the test, writing about it here at TMS.

Phone Balls

I just had to mention Phone Balls. Phone Balls are cases which protect phones and have… balls. I can see this being great in many business situations, like when you’re at lunch with the biggest sales prospect you’ve ever had and you take a call. Or how about when you’re meeting with your priest and you whip out your phone to look up a number or something. Awesome.

Helping to fight testicular cancer

All kidding aside, the people at Phone Balls are doing something great. They’re donating 10% of what they make to help fight testicular cancer. Nice job!

I must get myself one of these to go with my MySack golf accessory bag.

PGA Tour iPhone App

I’m an iPhone user. I got the thing so I could be more productive. I have the tools to do that now and I’m slowly but surely working toward utilizing my time better. I have many golf apps for the iPhone, some of which I’ve covered or will cover here. The newest iPhone golf application is the PGATOUR.com app.

I loaded the PGA Tour iPhone application tonight. For being released within the last day or so, the app is very robust and nicely done.

Within the app you can access leaderboards, player profiles, videos (though I had a window pop up saying the video format wasn’t supported) and lots of other neat PGA Tour nuggets. It is nice to be able to check Tiger Woods’ putting stats while in line at the grocery store.

Oh, the app is sponsored by Nike Golf, who has ads all over in there. I guess you have to pay the bills somehow.

For just being released the PGA Tour app is pretty awesome.

iPhone and golf – The Masters Application

I love my iPhone 3G with all of its capabililties. But the “phone” part sucks and the monthly bills are 3x what they were when I was on Verizon. I can now say that all that extra dough is worth it since I’ve installed the free Masters iPhone App.

Features of the Masters iPhone App:

Live Leaderboard keeps you up to date, and shows player pairings and tee times.

Amen Corner Live has live video streaming of holes 11, 12 and 13.

Masters Extra has more video coverage from Augusta.

Live video feeds from holes 15 & 16

The Highlights section has random content, including the Par 3 contest.

An interactive course map tells you about the course and includes video flyovers of each hole.

You can select 3G, Wifi or Edge networks for your connection.
