Today Apple announced the new iPad2. Steve Jobs was in attendance, though many thought his health would prevent him from attending.
iPad2 available in black or white
Great. Now my iPad which I got about 3 months ago is worthless. Not really. It will still be a great device, but I’ll be wishing I had the new features of the new iPad2:
- Faster dual core processor produces 2x the speed
- Front and read cameras with facetime video phone. Camera shoots HD video.
- Cool new smart cover, unit wakes up when cover is removed
- Garage Band for iPad
- PhotoBooth (zzzzz)
- Graphics speed up to 9x faster
- 33% thinner
- iMovie for iPad

Let the price wars between AT&T and Verizon (and possibly other carriers) begin. I’m not an AT&T fan. Their network is slow and their cell quality isn’t close to as good as when I had Verizon two years ago.
On February 10, 2011 the iPhone 4 will officially be available on Verizon’s network.

Apple has released the long awaited (for us iPad users at least) iOS 4.2. This OS brings together the iOS for the iPad, iTouch and iPhone.
I’ve now got iOS 4.2 installed on my iPad and I’ll report back any interesting findings or cool new features. The “find my iphone” app is probably going to be very useful.

Tempo is an extremely important part of a good golf swing. MyGolfSwing is a $1.99 iPhone application which helps golfers establish and groove their swing tempo.
The app breaks the swing down into three sections and times each one: back swing, pause at top of swing and downswing. Drills show video and play sounds so the player can see and hear the desired tempo while practicing.

There’s a fun feature in MGS which shows the tempos of great golfers like Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Lorena Ochoa and others. Players can use those as templates in working on their own tempos. It is interesting how similar the pro tempos are. I’d like to see a few more in there like Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer.
