For all of you apple fans

Hello guys! well this week's post im going to focus on all of the products that apple will be unveiling. Now i'm going to be honest I don't really keep up on apple's products all that much but it was interesting to find out about some of the products that they will be releasing. First off they have refined iOS 7.1 (which is the latest operating system on iphones) They have changed the screen that displays an incoming phone call and they have refined the calendar view. They are currently working with 2 other companies to try to perfect their maps app since google no longer lets them use the google maps app. Apple is also going to release a new version of the apple TV featuring a camera on the front that will allow you to use hand gestures to swipe through music and movies. Hand gestures will also allow you to type on the keyboard; I can't wrap my head around how they propose this will work but I guess we will just have to wait and find out. The third thing that was mentioned is the touch less integration they will be adding into the new 2014 car models. Apple will also be working with pioneer to add the touch less controls to pioneers aftermarket units as well so it won't leave out the people that do not want to buy a new car just to get these features.

Vizio 4k TVs!

                       

     So this year CES 2014 was held here in Las Vegas, like it has been in many previous years. CES is an annual convention that is held here to promote the latest technology that is going to be revealed to consumers everywhere later in the year. Major companies promote technology such as New TVs, Tablets, App enabled vehicles, Internet enabled appliances and many many other gadgets. This year the 'theme' at CES seemed to be mobile technology. The biggest news to me was in the TV department this year. This was the most exciting news to me because lets face it, who DOESN'T like enjoying a movie on a stunningly beautiful display? Anyway, Vizio announced this year that their 4k resolution TVs will not only be sharp but very affordable. I say affordable because TVs in this resolution from other vendors such as samsung and LG will be FAR more pricey. For those of you who don't know what a 4k TV is, it is essentially a TV with 4 TIMES the resolution of a regular 1080p televison (which was the highest resolution we had at the time). It didn't take long for vizio to spill the news on pricing for these TVs which they are calling their P-series models. According to the verge "its consumer-grade P series lineup of 4K TVs will start at only $999.99 for a 50-inch model." The TV will be released later this year and there is no news on an exact date that I could find. Now, the only downfall with buying a 4k TV right now is that there currently isn't very many content available that will allow you to take advantage of that vibrant, amazingly sharp display. Netflix however, has announced that all of the shows that are being filmed by them (ex. House of Cards) will be filmed in 4k. This means that pretty soon everyone else will jump on board with filming movies and shows in this resolution.
