iCloud fever! 

Apple has undoubtedly done some truly innovative things with its creativity since that fateful day of its founding on April 1, 1976 .It released the first “Macintosh Computer” (ubiquitously known now as just a Mac) in 1984, a machine that isn’t exactly the sexiest or most attractive gadget  in the world to us now, but back then was actually pretty fancy stuff.

Imagine running Windows 7 on an iPad… sounds cool?  It’s real!  Cloud Desktops make it possible.  A Virtual Cloud Desktop is a personal, centralized computer located in the Cloud. Using any Internet connected device or thin client (i.e. an iPad), you can access your desktop from anywhere in the world.

Did you know that your iPad 2 and iPhone 4 has the capability to create folders?  If you’re an app fanatic, you may have pages full of app icons on your device.  Now you can neatly organize the icons into folders of your own design.

Earlier this week I wrote about the newly released White iPhone 4.  I mentioned that with the White iPhone 5 on the way, you are best waiting until the Fall for the device on 4G than going out to buy it now.  Now I have a new reason why you’d better wait: the White iPhone 4 is thicker than the black version. While it may not seem like a very big deal, the discrepancy actually creates a bit of an issue: if I buy this case, will it fit?  The image above illustrates the minute difference. 

Did you know you can save, as well as edit and create documents on your iPhone 4 / iPad 2? Purchase the Documents To Go application.  It will allow you to save a full suite of Microsoft Office documents to your device (Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents) in their original format.  Documents To Go will also let you save and view Adobe PDF files, Apple iWork files, and others.

Mother’s Day is fast approaching (Sunday, May 8^th)!  What is the best gadget for mom?  Well, if you’re thinking of gifting mom a gadget, now’s the time to place your order online!  Wondering what to get?  I’ve got you covered!  Here’s a list of my 5 picks for the hottest gadgets for mom this Mother’s Day.

1. Apple iPad 2: it’s simple to use and requires no prior knowledge of computers –great for less tech savvy moms.  If mom likes to read, she can download her favorite books and use it as an eReader.  You can get the iPad engraved with a special, personalized Mother’s Day message from Apple’s website. (starting at $499) - I OWN ONE AND LOVE IT!
2. Amazon Kindle: If you think mom would enjoy an eReader but you’re not spending $500 on a Mother’s Day gift, you can opt for a Kindle from Amazon.  It has a paper-like Pearl electronic-ink display (great even under bright sunlight), a one month battery life, and its ultra-light weight, at only 8.5 ounces. (starting at $114)

After an incredible wait, Apple has finally released the White iPhone 4!  The device, which ran into unexpected production issues last June, is available starting today in stores and online.  Just like its black counterpart, it’s available in 16GB and 32GB capacities in a GSM version for AT&T’s network and a CDMA version for Verizon’s network. 

Want to choose an app for opening an e-mail attachment on your iPad 2 or iPhone 4 device?  Here’s how: open a file attached to an e-mail message by tapping the attachment in > Mail. 

Our friends at Apple have considered everything; even a cleverly hidden way for you to Orientation Lock your iPad 2 / iPhone 4 screen.

When lying in bed with your iPad or iPhone, as you move around, the screen tends to move around with you. While the feature can be really functional at time, at other times it can be really inconvenient (like when you’re trying to read from your Borders eBook, for example).

Want to forget a wifi network?  You can!  If you accidentally connected to a wifi network once, your device remembers it for life—right?  Wrong!  There’s a way to prevent that annoying wifi pop-up.  Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.  Find the network under the ‘Choose a Network’ heading. Select the blue arrow next to the network you’d like to remove and tap the button on the top that says ‘Forget this Network’.  And it’s gone!
