Pull Up a Chair...to your iPhone

Is the iPhone screen just too small for you?

You've tried upgrading the iPad, but still not getting the screen clarity you desire?

Maybe you need to pull up a chair to the iTableous!

Creator Benjamin Bachmeier took a 40" screen and designed an Apple-style table around it. In addition, it runs the Mac operating system (and Windows 7!), rather than the iOS (the operating system for Apple phones and tablets).

Check it the iTableous here, and watch a video tour of this custom job!

Facebook iPhone Update Conceals iPad Preview

by Harris Cohen, the PromoGuru

Sixteen months and 25 million units sold, and iPad users are still using the same old Facebook app from the iPhone? That doesn’t seem right. With iPad’s screen well over double the size of the iPhone’s, running the phone-tailored app seems such a waste of screen space and other tablet capabilities.

Then the HP TouchPad comes around touts the first ever Facebook tablet app right off the bat. So where’s the love for Apple users?

Not too far, according to Techcrunch.

Do Apple Sales Signal the “Post-PC Era”?

by Harris Cohen, the PromoGuru

Earlier this week, Apple quietly laid to rest the white MacBook, leaving new Apple enthusiasts with only two laptop choices: the MacBook Pro or the thin MacBook Air. Maybe it has something to do with Apple announcing that iPad sales in this past quarter had surpassed revenue from Mac sales.

And it only took the iPad 15 months to achieve this benchmark!

Not content with just having the most popular e-reader out there, Amazon now looks poised to enter the tablet market. A launch date for the code-named “Hollywood” tablet was expected sometime in August or September.

The Internet is abuzz with rumors about what Apple has in store for the end of this year.

iPhone Users Flocking to T-Mobile?

by Harris Cohen, The PromoGuru

In a recent interview with 9to5Mac.com, a T-Mobile rep let slip that they are now supporting one million iPhone users.

If you’re thinking to yourself, “Wait, I didn’t know T-Mobile carried iPhones,” you’re right; they don’t. But Apple recently began selling unlocked versions of the iPhone. An “unlocked” version means that you can use the phone with other carriers; though they have to use the same type of network (sim-card based GSM). Before the release it wasn’t impossible to get your iPhone unlocked, though most people would probably want to tackle the process.
