Updating to iOS 5.0

I'm so excited today hoping to received my iPhone 4S. That excitement shoot down when I find out that Best Buy doesn't have my preordered iPhone 4S 64GB Black model on time. Instead, I decided to upgrade my iPad to the latest released of iOS 5.0. My current iOS version is 4.3.1, so I have to upgrade first to 4.3.5, then run the Update. Upgrading iOS from 4.3.1 to 4.3.5 took a while, more than one hour from running the backup of my entire iPad contents e.g. pictures, video, and apps. The iOS 5.0 requires iTunes 10.5, so I have to download and install it. It takes 10-15 minutes to updates. And another 30-45 minutes downloading files, depending on your internet speed. I restarted my MacBook Pro as required by the program, then enjoy iOS 5.0 on my iPad. Next, my iPhone 3GS upgrading for iOS 5.0. Update: My iPhone 3GS is now upgraded to iOS 5.0. One nice feature of iOS 5.0, I can run "Software Update" directly from my iPhone. This feature remove the dependen

Well I'm running a e-commerce websites, for example www.breeder.co, www.talked.com, www.headcam.com, etc. My e-commerce websites were designed to randomly display the products in the main page, so we can showcase all products that we have in store. The website load faster but since it was converted to static html, the random display of products become static too. So I decided not to use the WP Super Cache plu

Apple released iPhone 4S, not iPhone 5

Apple comes short with their announcement today. I'm expecting a new iPhone product called iPhone 5, instead they announce iPhone 4S. It is like giving you a half bake product, same physical design, though comes with powerful processor dual-core A5, 8 megapixel camera, 1080p video recording at 30fps. Engadget.com provides a comparison between iPhone 4S VS iPhone4 , and TechCrunch.com post here . Check it out. As consumer, I still prefer to have an iPhone 4S than anything else. Maybe it's time for me to check the Galaxy II smart phone again. What do you think?
