The Collection – Interesting New Appazine

I have had my iPad for around a month now and I love it, I spent a lot of time contemplating if I really needed one or not before I took the plunge and purchased because they are pretty expensive and money is tight – I definitely don't regret going for it though and it certainly gets a lot of use.

 

I was just on the appstore looking to see if there were any new iPad applications I might be interested in, I already have more than I can count but am always on the lookout for more and want to get it nice and full for when I go on holiday next month. I came across an appazine from Ringier called 'The Collection' and it looks ideal – it's free to grab from the appstore and will be updated with new content each month, hence the name 'appazine' I think it's clever to have content that is often changing as it keeps people interested, and having a regular time scale of when it will be updated is always nice as I am a creature of habit :)

 

The first edition which I am yet to read properly is all about the Royal family and the Royal wedding, it has articles, pictures and fun little interactive features and games – there's an in depth article about Prince William that I am going to curl up on the sofa and read when I get the chance. I have been a busy little bunny the last few weeks and have been finding it hard to find the time to relax and do a little reading.

Looking for Miami Camera Equipment Rental

If any one knows of a place I can get Miami camera equipment rental please let me know – I don’t trust myself to take my own camera when we go visiting family there next month as I will end up breaking it, I just know I will.

I have already broken two cameras, three phones and one MP3 player.

Having said that I could never afford to buy a top of the range camera, even my expensive one only cost around $200 – it’s great for taking every day snaps but sometimes you just want something better. I was very impressed by my friends camera at a recent wedding we attended…the speed at which it took photos was amazing and the quality was awesome.

I’d love to be able to own such a camera but he told me how much it cost and I actually physically took a deep breath in in shock – I’d have to take out a small bank loan. I want the photos I take while we are there to be amazing as I plan on making a photo book out of them and may even get some of the scenic ones put on canvas to hang on the walls.

 

Getting a netbook?

What are the best netbooks you can get? I have wanted a laptop for years now but could never really justify the expense as I don’t really need one so a netbook could be a good solution if I can find one powerful enough to do every thing I need it to do and not drive me insane at how slow and underpowered it is compared to my desktop PC.

 

To extend the warranty or not

I am thinking of buying an ipad or getting one for Christmas and am just wondering if it’s worth getting an extended ipad warranty or not. I always have this conundrum when it comes to buying electricals, I feel like if they are so expensive in the first place they should last and I don’t want to have to pay extra for that peace of mind.

 

I know what I am getting him for once

My fiance got a new HTC Droid a few weeks ago, and although I usually moan at him spending money on his gadgets on this occasion I am glad he did because it means I know what to get him for his birthday.

He wants some Motorola Accessories and there are plenty to choose from.

He’s so hard to buy for I can’t even tell you, he never wants anything and he never likes anything I get for him. I have long since given up trying to buy him clothes for example because they always go back.

He wants many of the available Motorola Droid 2 Accessories for sure and is currently sat looking through some Motorola Droid 2 Cases to pick out one he likes.

Nice and easy :)

 

Waaaaaant it!!

I want a laptop computer

I have been staying with my inlaws this week and apart from having superduperfastuper broadband they also have a really top of the range laptop – I have always fancied a laptop but now I really want one very badly. We can’t afford one at the moment though and because we don’t really need it I can’t see us ever getting one, but oh well a girl can dream.

*Stomps Feet*

 

To buy or not to buy?

To get an Acer Aspire netbook or not, that is the question. I have fancied one for ages now but as I don’t really need one I couldn’t justify the price – there’s a killer deal for one at the moment (a pink one no less!) so I am having a very hard time resisting – do I fight the urge or do I say to hell with it and treat myself? Hmm.

 

To Touch or not to Touch?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LG Chocolate Touch. All opinions are 100% mine.

I’ve been considering a new phone for a while now as I am able to get an upgrade on my current contract – but I do still love my LG Cookie – so it’s a case of do I upgrade because I can or do I stick with what I know I like?

I have been looking at the LG Chocolate Touch as an option as it’s very similar to my Cookie – just better!

It comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera and importantly an mp3 player with dolby mobile technology for really clear sounds, a lot of phones offer media players these days but they sound like some £1 speakers you picked up in an antique shop. I would love to get rid of my ipod completely, not least because I could do with the spare cash, but also because it’s one less thing to carry around – but that’s not possible at the moment. It also offers some neat features I have not seen before like a rhythmical beat that vibrates the phone a long with the music! Also it’s set up to make using social media sites like Facebook and Twitter as easy as possible – this is something that could easily sway my decision.

So what to do, what to do.
