The new iPad, analysis

Having spent just seven days since it went on sale New iPhone and before the first buyer in Spain is made ​​with a drive today, in the time of this review , we can say that the product is a complete success ( sold over 3 million units during the first weekend).

Fortunately last week got us a unit of the New iPhone 16GB Wi-Fi in Hong Kong. During these days we performed a series of tests that will review along this thorough review of the latest developments made ​​in the last Apple Keynote. We will use also for comparison with the previous product version, the iPad 2 (here also Wi-Fi, but with 32GB of capacity – in the pictures provided on the left -).

If you want to know what will have to compete the Android tablets this year, read on, because war is going to be tough and strong betting the Cupertino, but not risk.

General impression on the New iPhone

For New Apple iPhone has chosen to keep the same line continuity with the iPhone 4S . I mean, what’s new or not too much, except for the screen, very spectacular.

When compared with the iPad 2 without turning on the screen, we could hardly tell which is which. The general lines, in design, are the same as in the former.

Weight and measures

As discussed above, the design of the new iPhone is almost identical to the previous one and only difference, visually, in one aspect: the thickness, which has increased by 0.6 millimeters. Not a lot, when you are holding is not noticed at all, however, weight gain (despite being only 50 grams in the case of Wi-Fi version), which represents an increase of 10% yes that is easier to appreciate.

Retinal Display reaches the tablets

With a size of 9.7 inches a resolution of 2048 × 1536 pixels (thus playing to 264 per inch), double that of its predecessor, is the key to the new iPhone, which gives meaning to their existence.

The density of pixels of the Retinal Display New iPhone, despite being a bit different from the one we are shown on the screens of the iPhone 4 or 4S (326 by pulagada) is not high enough to see individual pixels if us closer to the eyes. In addition, we think that the distance that we use an IPAD is not one to which we use an iPhone due to screen size, so in this sense we few problems.

The cloud, to synchronize my files as much

Google Music (now Play) comes in handy as backup.
These are the main reasons I have to prefer local music, but there’s more: I do not use the Internet much, do not depend on a connection, choose the player you most like me, I can put music to friends, burn it to a USB listen to it anywhere …

And the problems that may be of local music are easily solved, at least for me. I need not have it on any computer you use: is on my laptop, my desktop and my mobile enough to take with you anywhere you go. And I do not care about if you delete everything apart from the copies in each of the dishes that said, I have a backup on an external disk and Google Music.

Which, in fact, the only thing the cloud use in connection with the music. I found it nice to have a copy on the Internet automatically in case, and as Google Music does not bother much there is in case one day something happens. For the rest, my local music at all.

Apple today held a press conference to announce what investors want to do with its one hundred billion dollars

Apple has given us a surprise starting this week with the announcement of a press conference. In it, the CEO and CFO Tim Cook Peter Oppenheimer discussed Apple’s intentions about money in liquid has now. A lot of money, almost one hundred billion dollars, and we know full well that in Cupertino are not to think things lightly.

In the press release makes clear that this is not the typical conference where he announced the benefits of the last fiscal quarter (the next one will not play until late next month), and will not provide data or those numbers or of other things. Tim and Peter will speak strictly of what they will do with those one hundred billion dollars, which I had long been asking investors.

The conference will be held at six o’clock hour from San Francisco (petite looking forward to starting the work day soon, right?), So that in Spain we can listen to two in the afternoon through a streaming audio . Yes, yes, today, in less than six hours. Of course, you will have all the latest in Applesfera promptly in case of interesting surprises.

Google is everywhere:

Google does not leave anything to chance their maps. Does the top of Sierra Nevada? Well beyond that Google sends to your car to make the photos and add that area to its Street View service.

But then, in the Veleta peak is not worth a car either and should be sent as a snowmobile with their cameras. That stubbornness of the search engine company to have everyone “indexed” in many ways has earned be our image of the week.

Is there a place where Google has not already come with their cameras?

Sparrow comes to IOS through its application for the iPhone and iPod touch

Sparrow, the mail manager that site has become one of the most popular applications on OS X, has just been released in IOS for iPhone and iPod touch. As with the Mac client, Sparrow is focused on providing simple and efficient interface to manage multiple email accounts.

The messages from our inbox completely occupy the main application screen, and can write a new mail in seconds after selecting the contacts of our agenda. Moving the finger to the right side will access a menu with all options of the mail account, and repeating the process we can see a main menu with all the accounts we have set. It highlights how we can move to the “conversations” message, moving your finger vertically.

All, how could it be otherwise, with care and quality of interface to which we are accustomed to the creators of Sparrow. Personally I like the detail of the application icon mimicking the system as if it were part of IOS naturally.

They are the same responsible, however, those who warn of a lack: no push notifications. That “would store user credentials on their servers,” and is “a responsibility that are not yet prepared to accept.” The developers, in a sense, ask Apple they can use an API through which they can alert the user, and initially used API but took Cupertino to reject the application.

Tips for using files. PSD into Final Cut Pro X

With the latest update to Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3 among other improvements introduced the ability to import and edit Photoshop PSD files. With the new feature each of these layers appear as if it were a clip grouping all the layers into a single clip.

Well, Apple has made ​​available to users with a guide of good practices for creating and working with these PSD files. The first tip is to create a file with RGB color 8-bit mode. The size should have the same dimensions as our project. For example, if you edit the file in 1080 must have a size of 1920 × 1080 pixels.

Final Cut Pro X and use PSD

After creating a document with the dimensions of our project and so 8-bit RGB color we have to take into account other issues to avoid problems when we go to edit our material. Despite the compatibility of the blend modes (add, subtract, multiply, …) to Final Cut Pro X has no equivalent for all options in Photoshop, so it is advisable to only use blending modes does have support.

On the other hand, we activate or deactivate layers in Photoshop can then make them visible or not from Final Cut Pro X by pressing V. Another interesting fact is the ability to accept incrustemos color profile in Photoshop.

There are some data that we know to work efficiently with Photoshop PSD files in Final Cut Pro X which we found on the Apple website. Developments or improvements we will see that the next update brings. It would be nice a better control of the masks.

It also has a mode called “photo burst” will trigger 10 of 11 Mpx photos in a second, ideal for capturing motion sequences.

The focus is fixed, and the white balance and exposure control are always automatic, which is convenient because in extreme situations we can not go setting recording parameters manually, but sometimes the measurement is not what you might expect .
