Mac Users Of Mtc (apple: Go Ahead, Take A Bite!)

Is the I phone 4 available in Manila already? Where? How much? Thanks.

 

You have to ask Globe when it will be launched.

 

I am sure there are graymarket units floating around Greenhills and places like that (Alabang Town Center, Harrison Plaza) but be prepared to pay inflated prices to be an early adopter It does not make sense to spend close to P50k to be one of the first owners. Even for my jaded taste that's downright obscene.

Is there any other reason why you have to stay in 10.5? Ano ba ang Mac mo? If it can handle 10.6, I can help you.

I think the i pad is IT.

 

All it has to do now is be able to do word processing, worksheets and the like.

 

Apple says with iworks, it will get the job done.

 

I am a newbie. Is Iworks compatible (as in interchangable files) with Office?

 

How is iworks (specifically for the i pad) compared to Office?

 

Thank you in advance to anyone who can give me guidance regarding the above issue.

iWorks is compatible with MS Office files to a certain degree. But I had better luck with NeoOffice which is a free port of OpenOffice.org on the Mac OSX environment.

Yes it is but do remember to SAVE AS 'doc' and not docx format. Doing page layout in MS Word can be very messy because its is not a page layout app. But I have had success in doing the page layouts in iWork, and then saving it as a doc file which other people opened with no formatting problems in MS Word in Windows even. One thing to remember, be sure to use fonts that you know are also available in your target computer. For example, Neu Helvetica with its various weights and nice character spacing may look really nice on the Mac but if not installed in the target computer, it gets substituted for either plain vanilla Helvetica or worse, Arial and you will see that your line endings are cock-eyed.

First, its a matter of getting used to the interface. Of course the new Word has something like an "inspector" window now but thats not so obvious. Plus iWork's text and graphics boxes are more versatile than Word's. But Word might have better long document stability as well as better mail merge (although I don't know if that is at all used anymore).

I am using Macbook Pro 15" running OSX Leopard 10.5.2. I think it can handle 10.6 (Snow Leopard) naman. Is there an free upgrade to 10.6 on the Apple website? or I need to purchase a new software?

software support is one thing. hardware is another. i don't think, with the current state of iPad (i.e., no separate keyboard), that it can be used to compose a reasonably long documents. as a touch-typist, i need real feedbacks when i'm typing. the on-screen keyboard of iPad doesn't have this feel.

Hi. Any idea if may software na mag-send ng text to multiple recipients using iphone 3gs? Thanks.

 

perhaps i didn't understand the question, but, isn't iphone, out of the box, can already send text to multiple recipients?

Apple products are way overrated. And this is coming from an iMac and iPod owner.

I wonder what makes you say so. If you had said Apple products are overpriced, that I would understand.

 

My experience has been different. I have tried many MP3 players but I still choose the i pod. Cannot beat the simplicity of the interface. Ang daling gamitin.

 

 

About two weeks after getting a 24 inch i mac, I gave my 32 inch tv in my room to my son. NOw I watch everything on my i mac.

I'll grant you the iPod. I don't think anything out there beats its great interface.

 

With other devices like the iPad, iMac, iPhone: I was referring to the hardware and software. We have HP laptops and PC clones at home, and there really isn't anything that Apple devices do better than PC clones or phones like HTC. The fact that they're prohibitively priced and that they won't work with most generic devices make them a big loser in my book. Steve Jobs has done a brilliant job of brainwashing his sheep that only Apple devices work well with Apple devices, when in fact all he wants is exclusivity and profits all to himself (witness how he won't even let generic battery makers sell the iPhone battery by voiding the warranty on iPhones that use non-Apple batts).
