iPad 3 just around the corner

Feb 102012

It is all but certain that Apple will release a new version of its hugely successful iPad in early March. For all intents and purposes, it will be announced at some point in early March (during the first week, possibly the 7th) and likely go on sale soon after.

Of course this is generating lots of media coverage and whipping Apple fans into a bit of a frenzy. Apple events are eagerly anticipated across the globe and new product releases in particular raise huge interest.

As for the features of the iPad 3, one can still only speculate. The majority of people seem to agree that it will contain a faster processor, possibly quad-core, and a retina display as currently found in the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. Of course improved front and back cameras are also expected. Whether it will have any completely new features in unknown although many believe it will probably just be an improved version of the iPad 2 without any major changes.

There are of course strong arguments for it remaining very similar to its predecessor; the iPad 2 has been hugely successful worldwide with Apple reportedly selling in excess of 55 million units. As the saying goes, why fix something that isn’t broken? Many believe the upgrade will be an ‘incremental’ one, similar to that of the iPhone 4S, which simply improved on the iPhone 4′s specifications without bringing anything radically new or different to the table.

All this speculation will be put to rest in early March if the rumours are to be believed. So if you’re looking forward to the iPad 3 release, keep your eyes peeled in the coming month for more details!

Don’t forget, if you get started now, you could be first in line to get a free iPad 3! Sign up here, complete an offer and get 30 of your friends to do the same and you’ll be able to order a brand new iPad 3 without any financial outlay as soon as it becomes available!

The best ways to get referrals

Tips and advice No Responses »

Feb 022012

Today we’ll round up the best ways to get referrals in order to get your free iPhone or free iPad.

Here is a list of the easiest ways:

- Facebook. Quick, easy and potentially very effective. Post your link as your status but make sure to give it some personality. Make it seem interesting. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who doesn’t know it’s possible to get amazing gadgets for free and consider what would make you click the link. Over the course of a week or two, post your link a few times. Important: don’t overdo it. In a two week period, perhaps post your link 3-4 times; this way it should be seen by most of your friends but won’t seem to spammy.

- Tell your friends and family directly. Whether by telling them face-to-face, giving them a text or phone-call or emailing them, tell your close friends and family personally about the site. They’re highly likely to at least sign up and give it a go, even if it’s just to do a favour for you. Perhaps promise you’ll do a favour in return if they sign up at your link and complete an offer, or you could buy them a drink. Either way, it’s going to be cheaper than actually buying the gadget you’re after. This method can be highly effective so don’t neglect it; just think if you can get 10 of your closest friends and family members to sign up and complete an offer, you’ll be half-way to a free iPad 2!

- Create some flyers and distribute them locally. This is an inexpensive way to get some exposure but is likely to have a fairly low conversion rate. This means that although 50 people may see your flyer, only 10 of them will follow it up and then only a few of them will actually go through with signing up and completing an offer. But even if you don’t get any success from doing this, you won’t have lost much. You can get 100 flyers professionally printed for under £15, and cheaper if you do it yourself. Based on this, you’d only need one person to sign up and complete an offer after seeing one of your flyers in order to have made your money back. A word of advice if you’re going to do this, buy a domain or use a link-shortening service so you can display a short link on the flyer. For example, using goo.gl, we could shorten our referral link to www.goo.gl/2uxiU. Do this with your referral link and you’ll be ready to go.

- Post in forums. Are you a member of any forums on the internet? If so, add your referral link to your signature (if allowed – check the forum rules first). Then, every time you post people will see your link and some may click it etc. If you already post regularly on some forums this is a super-easy way to get your link seen by others with no extra effort. If you don’t already post on forums, why not start now? Think of a few topics you’re interested in and find some forums related to them. Then add your link to your signature and get started right away! It couldn’t be easier and if you post on forums related to subjects that interest you, you’ll be able to enjoy yourself at the same time. However, once again, I must stress the importance of checking the forum rules before doing this as some may not allow it.

Well, there you have it. Four ways to get referrals and all of them easy to do. Get started now and you will be well on your way to getting an awesome free gift!

If you haven’t done so already, sign up here now. You’ll be given your referral link as soon as you sign up so within 10 minutes you could post it on Facebook and start working your way towards your chosen gift right away.

Don’t forget, if you want further information, tips, advice or help, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

iOS still the market leader, but Android is gaining ground

Tech Talk No Responses »

Jan 272012

The tablet market is ever-growing and it is currently dominated by Apple with the iPad and iOS. But the latest figures show that the company’s grip could be loosening, with it having lost around 10% market share to Android in the penultimate three months of 2012.

Research by Strategy Analytics indicates that shipments of Apple’s iPad accounted for 58% of the market in the months of October, November and December 2011, while sales of Android tablets accounted for 39% of the market. In terms of numbers, Apple shipped 15.4 million iPads compared with shipments of 10.5 million Android tablets during the period. As an added note, Microsoft accounted for 1.5% of the market during this time.

So, the numbers indicate that Apple is still the market leader and by quite a way, too. However, in the same three months in 2010, Apple accounted for 68% of sales compared to 29% for Android. So in one year the gap between the two operating systems has been cut by 20%, a significant amount.

Despite this, as has been previously noted, Apple is still the market leader and it has become so with just one tablet compared to the hundreds, if not thousands, of different Android tablets out there. I expect Microsoft to make an impact on the market with the release of Windows 8 which will be the first Microsoft OS designed and optimised for tablets. As things stand, the tablet market is not one Microsoft is trying to penetrate but this will change with Windows 8.

Competition can only be a good thing for the market so lets hope the tablet war continues. The soon-to-be-released iPad 3 is sure to help Apple in its attempts to continue dominating the market but the threat of Android and eventually Windows 8 cannot be ignored. And who knows if webOS may even make a comeback in some form? Things are getting interesting…

Is Windows set to overtake the Apple iPhone’s iOS?

Tech Talk No Responses »

Jan 202012

The Windows operating system has been met with a warm reception, especially since they teamed up with Nokia to produce the Lumia range of smartphones. Although the sales are nothing to boast about, analysts iSuppli are predicting that the Windows smartphone operating system will overtake Apple’s iOS by 2015. This is a bold prediction but they believe that by 2015, Windows Phone will have captured 16.7 per cent of the market – despite only making up two per cent of the smartphone market last year.

The key to this prediction appears to be Nokia’s use of the Windows operating system. Nokia are looking to capture a share of the smartphone market after it failed to make an impact with its own smartphone operating system. Nokia’s shares have declined dramatically over the last 18 months with the main reason for this being their struggle to transfer into the smartphone market.

This comes just a day after Apple announced its plans to make educational content available for its iPad tablets. They are looking to revolutionise learning in American classrooms by trading paper for iPad. We’ve found a great site which gives you the best cheap iPad deals.

In the presentation yesterday, Apple introduced iBooks 2, essentially allowing books to be far more interactive. They are set to offer more support for the development of these textbooks, with the release of iBooks Author, a Mac application that can be used to design them.

As well as iBooks 2, Apple announced iTunes U, an application which allows teachers to distribute their lectures and other educational material via the internet.

It’s an interesting move by Apple and it sees them hoping to capture a slice of the $10 billion textbook industry.

2012: The year of the ultrabook

Tech Talk No Responses »

Jan 152012

Many people are hailing 2012 as the year of the ultrabook, something backed-up by the appearance of a sleuth of such laptops at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Apple’s MacBook Air was one of the first ultrabooks on the market but now all the major computer companies are releasing their own versions of the device.

For those of you who didn’t know, ultrabooks are ultra-slim laptops, most of which are less than an inch thick. They tend to have solid state hard drives (SSDs) which vary from the hard disk drives (HDDs) found on most computers and laptops. SSDs are supposed to be better as they have no moving parts, are quieter and faster than HDDs. But the result of this is a higher price and often lower capacity – many ultrabooks tend to have around 128GB capacity (with cheaper models having even less) whereas there are many cheaper laptops (using HDDs) available nowadays with 500GB capacity or more.

Obviously, the main attraction of ultrabooks is their ultra-portability; they are very easy to transport around. They’re likely to be especially useful for people who travel a lot but don’t want to lug around a more hefty laptop the whole time.

The question is, can they replace normal laptops or will the two always exist in unison? One of the oft-quoted problems of ultrabooks is their lack of an optical drive for playing DVDs and CDs. However Samsung’s Series 5 Ultra range of ultrabooks do have optical drives and remain under an inch thick so there are some with optical drives. Others would argue that optical drives are not needed nowadays anyway with the majority of content being downloaded rather than installed or ripped from CDs and DVDs. There is one other option for ultrabooks lacking an optical drive, and that is to attach an external one. This solution is ok for use at home but obviously it slightly defeats the object of an ultrabook if you always need to use the optical drive and thus have to take it with you everywhere!

I personally think it’s inevitable that ultrabooks will eventually become the norm as their price declines. Right now most of them are relatively expensive but as with any new technology, the price will reduce over time. With the ability to include optical drives and keep ultrabooks super thin, no features need to be lost, and of course everyone thinner laptops appeal to everyone. So I imagine within 5 years ultrabooks will be very widespread and most manufacturers will focus on producing them rather than their bulkier cousins (normal laptops).

It is widely expected that Apple will launch a new iPad 3 in 2012, so what new features or changes would you like to see?

So, imagine you’re a designer at Apple, and have been given the responsibility of coming up with new ideas for the iPad 3. It’s an exciting prospect, isn’t it? What would you change or add to the iPad 3? Would you go for small improvements or a major redesign?

I’m sure we’d all like an iPhone 4S for Christmas; I know I would! But unfortunately I think this year one won’t be forthcoming due to the price. So instead I’m trying to grab myself a free iPhone 4S and I’d strongly encourage you to give a go to!

What you must realise is how easy it is. Of course, we’re all used to living in the age of instant gratification when people want things now. Waiting a little bit isn’t an option. But this attitude is one of the reasons for the current economic crisis with people spending money they can’t afford to. So, instead, why not spend a little time completing a few easy steps to get a free iPhone 4S instead (or maybe an iPad 2, Macbook Air or iPod Touch; the choice is yours!).

1) Get started – click here.
2) Once you’ve signed up, complete one of the offers. There are many to choose from. FreebieJeebies are usually quite quick at approving your completion of the offer.
3) Then, get in your friends’ ears and encourage them to do the same (remember to give them your referral link first!). A post on Facebook is sure to attract some interest and you can ask your close friends in person and even show them what they need to do. Think about it – in a week or two enough friends may have completed an offer for you to receive an amazing free gift!

Times are tough. We know this as much as anyone. But many of us are still willing to spend our hard-earned money on goods that we don’t really need. I mean, spending around $500 or more (or about £400 if you’re from the UK!) on a new iPad 2 is to spend money that could probably go to better use elsewhere.

So, rather than putting yourself in a potentially sticky financial situation just to get the latest iPhone, iPad or Macbook, why not take our advice and try to get one for free instead? We really don’t think enough people have realised quite how easy it is to do. Yes, it takes a little longer than going into the shop and handing over a big chunk of your cash, but it also means you don’t have to go into the shop and you certainly don’t have to hand over any cash!

Our site has all the information about how you can get a free iPhone or free iPad 2. Please, don’t be daunted by the fact it involves a little work! After all, you could be getting yourself a new toy worth a few hundred dollars/pounds for what could turn out to be just a few hours work. We think it’s a pretty good deal. How about you?

Despite how easy and quick it is to get a free product of your choice, many people don’t bother going through with it. Let me make it clear – you can’t just sign up and then expect a free iPhone through your door the next day! But, its a lot easier to do than many people think. Once again, let me outline the required steps:
1) Sign up at FreebieJeebies
2) Complete one of the many offers available.
3) Refer at least 2 friends to do the same.

Once step three is complete, you’re entitled to a free product. Obviously the more friends you refer, the better the free gift will be.

Despite the simplicity of this offer, a lot of people don’t even complete the second step. This may be because it requires a small payment (typically just a few dollars/pounds or less), or because it looks like it’ll take too long. But really, is 15 minutes too much time to spare when there is the prospect of a free iPad 2 at the end of it? I think not!

The third step of the process, referring friends, puts some people off too. They think they won’t be able to get others to sign up. But it is a lot easier than you may think. Are you an active member of a social network site? If so, all it may take is for you to post your link on your profile. You’re guaranteed to have people click the link, as everyone wants a free iPhone or free iPad 2, don’t they? You can then talk to those who are interested in the offer and tell them how easy it is to get a free product of their choice! You’re bound to get at least a few people who complete an offer.

Just think about it – all of this will take under 30 minutes to do. And you could end up with a free iPhone or free iPad 2 at the end of it. Its a no brainer, surely?
