iPhone OS 4 name change to iOS 4

By admin, 22 June, 2010, No Comment

Only a few months after iPhone OS 4 was announced in April 2010, iOS 4 was announced by Apple CEO Steve Jobs during his keynote speech at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference. Those of us who are geeks completely understand and were not surprised, as it is the same operating system that runs on the iPod Touch and the iPad.

By the way, stop into our bytemarks Basalt Store anytime to see the iPad we have on demo. ByteMarks Computers in Glenwood Springs will be opening in July 2010!

iMac 27″ is PC Mag’s Editor’s choice

By admin, 24 May, 2010, No Comment

iMac 27″ with i7 processor is PC Magazine’s Editor’s choice. Notice that the Mac is a “PC” magazine’s choice? Maybe the magazine will change it’s name to “Mac Mag!” I have to say that in my store, the 27″ model has been the most popular so far. Read all about the awesome computer here:

New MacBook Pro Models Out Today!

By admin, 13 April, 2010, No Comment

Apple announced today a new line of MacBook Pros, including the 13″, 15″ and 17″ models. The processors are faster and the hard drives are bigger. And, now there is an option to upgrade to a solid-state drive. Solid-state drives were first introduced in the MacBook Air, but now they are available on the MacBook Pros.

I’ll be looking forward to seeing how quickly the solid-state drives get bigger as the price comes down. I have been telling my clients to plan on keeping a computer for three years. I see the slope of the technology improvements curve as being steep. So, it’s not that the computer won’t last more than three years, but that the technology is improving so quickly that they’ll probably want a new computer sooner than later!

iPad – What is it, really?

By admin, 4 April, 2010, No Comment

When the iPad was first announced, my initial reaction was that the iPad looks like mostly a really big iPod Touch. For most people, it will probably be used that way. Can it be used as a traditional computer too? Can you replace your previously very cool and compact netbook with one of THESE?

As the owner of ByteMarks, an Apple Authorized Reseller, I can sell Apple’s computers, but I cannot, for now, sell iPads. Does that mean that Apple considers the iPad as a really big iPod Touch and not a computer? Not necessarily.

In my humble opinion, I think Apple has bigger and better things in store, and the iPad is merely the beginning of greater things to come. The iPad comes with all the features of an iPod Touch, like iTunes, Mail, Safari, Maps, Calendar, Contacts, etc. The fact that the iPad comes with the iPad version of iWork, allowing the consumer to create and view documents, spreadsheets and presentations, tells me that the iPad is a computer, not just your portable media companion.

What do you think is next?

Next-Generation Internet – Fast, Fast, Fast

By admin, 10 March, 2010, No Comment

Cisco just announced their CRS-3 Carrier Routing System. Cisco leads the industry in Internet networking equipment. With up to 322 Terabits per second, the CRS-3 systems triples the capacity from its predecessor, the CRS-1.

Read about it and watch the videos for more detail here: http://tinyurl.com/yh2mwh8

What does this mean to us as consumers? Video calls will become common. Downloading movies will be much faster. And surfing the Internet will be more instantaneous than it already is.

I just want to know, was there a CRS-2? Anyone know? Please comment here.
