I have been spending a good part of the day reading various reports and opinions on the new Apple iPad and although I won’t be buying into the iPad system immediately, I am beginning to understand why it is a very important step in the evolution of personal computer devices.

It is no secret at this point, that Apple is about to astound us with their version of a netbook / e-reader / tablet computer / big screen telephone / and portable video delivery system. It is also no secret that Google is interested in the same market, but rather than go it alone, Google is working with a number of hardware vendors (mainly HTC at this point), to market hardware using their Android portable operating system.

With Apple’s current offerings of a 24 inch LED Cinema display, and 30 inch Cinema HD Display delivering an incredible 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, standard definition video footage is rapidly becoming outdated. It is also rumoured that Apple will introduce a new, market leading 32” LED display in 2010, designed specifically for the creative aficionados amongst us. The time for HD is now.

Well it is almost December and within a few short weeks it will be 2010 so I guess it is time to update my Personal Photo Tour Services and plan for the New Year.
George Mann – Personal Photo Tour & Photography Services
The personal photo tour business has been very poor this year (2009), I have had many requests for personal tour services and put together a number of detailed personal travel itineraries, only to be told time and again that they decided to save money and do it on their own. OK, I get it, money is tight for a lot of people at the moment, so why contact a personal photo tour service? If you are looking for a bargain, just call a budget tour company.
Some of you may want or need to travel at your own pace though, go to locations not available from tour companies, have a driver available at 4:30 AM for a sun rise shot, or wait around for the weather to change in a specific location. If that person is you, my service is available.

This is a briefcase style gear bag for traveling in style and protecting camera equipment without attracting undue attention. The interior accommodates a host of camera configurations that will enable you to keep all your gear in one secure bag. It features:

Apple iMac MB952LL/A 27-Inch Desktop
The new 27-inch iMac is a beauty to behold and on the high end has enough power under the hood to keep me interested for a long time. Forget the big Mac Pro box and the sleek 30-inch Cinema display I fell in love with before, I’m now in love with that trim new girl on the block and she is going to satisfy my every need just fine. Continue reading “If the 27-inch iMac was a girl, I would take her home to meet my mother.”

I’ve been a good customer for 25 years, I have written columns, magazine articles, and thousands of blog posts about Apple computers and Apple software. Yet Apple won’t make the computer that I need right now.
