Bringing back my more vlog style of videos, I got the call from Bell today, and my iPhone 4 is in stock and ready to be purchased. Only problem is, because I have only had my 3GS for less than a year, I will have to buy the iPhone 4 full out on no contract. In the end, it will wind up being somewhere around $750-800 dollars. So here is my question, do YOU think it is worth it to upgrade? Let me know in the comments section below.

The Defender series from otter box has a reputation of providing extreme and excellent protection for a wide range of devices on the market today.

I have been using this case for a good two weeks on my iPad now, so lets go over the pros and cons and what I have noticed.

In terms of what comes in the box when you purchase this case, it comes with a OtterBox microfiber to clean the device screen before you apply the screen protector it comes with as well. Otterbox’s screen protectors they ship with their cases are amazing, I still have the screen protector on my iPhone that came with my OtterBox commuter series case in February.

There is only one area where the OtterBox didn’t really please me, and that was removal of the case. Installation wasn’t that big of a problem, but removal sure was. Once the case is on your iPad is is bound on extremely tight and is very hard to pry off and remove. I actually had to use a screw to pry it off.

The second thing I noticed is that when I showed my iPad case to my friends, they commented on how heavy it was. So the defender series will add a little bit off weight and bulk to the iPad, but personally I think it is totally worth it.

Even though you may think that the tiny bit of extra bulk added to the iPad is a con, it adds to the extreme protection this case offers which is excellent. The Defender features a two layer case design. The first layer encasing your iPad in a durable plastic shell, and the second layer providing a shock resistant gel like rubber shell. This case also features a removable screen cover that can easily be snapped on the front or the back of the device for transit, and doubles as an iPad stand!

Even though this case is so thorough at protecting your device it still allows easy access to all the available buttons and ports for syncing, and using headphones.

In conclusion, do you really need the OtterBox Defender? If you are just using your iPad for everyday use like around the house, or in a business office environment, then probably not, in fact I would recommend checking out the Commuter series case from OtterBox. However if you are using your iPad outside, on the job, at the construction site and or in other heavy duty areas, this iPad case is an essential for you!

This is my full review of Wrapsol for the iPad, a product I really liked. The only problem I had with it was the installation, however after that, I enjoyed using Wrapsol. It provides a sleek, minimalistic and lightweight design that is perfect for those people who are looking for scratch protection and love the naked feel of their device. Let me know what you guys think in the comments section below!

No I didn’t crack and go to the BlackBerry side….even though this phone makes it so tempting. This is the unboxing of my brothers BlackBerry Bold 9700 for Bell. Looks like a sick phone. I have been browsing Kijiji looking to pick one up for a while.

This is a bring back tutorial on how to get the real iOS4 on your device completely free. Apple has released the GM (Gold Master) firmware file for all devices so you no longer need to be an Apple developer to have the new OS. In this video I briefly run over how to install it on your device!

This is my complete unboxing of the new MacBook Pro with the i7 processor in it. In this video we just do a quick overview of the device, and what is in the box.

I’d like to thank Mr. Campbell for allowing us to unbox his machine. He got this MBP because he originally bought a 27″ iMac with a i7 in it and he shipped back and forth an iMac which arrived DOA like 3 times, so he just said fuck it and Apple sent him the 17 i7 for free! His 64GB 3G iPad arrives next week!

Also thanks to Evan J Little from Computer Assistance Made Simple for helping me unbox this product.

FedEx made me a happy man yesterday by delivering my iPad to my door. I had pre ordered it on May 11th and it was to arrive before June 7th, so they got it here a little early. So here is my unboxing of the iPad. Hope you enjoy.

This is a sequel to a video I posted over a year ago, in fact, it was my first video posted to YouTube. All theses applications are free in the iTunes app store as of May 2nd 2010.
