Weather you camped out, stood in the pre-order line or was one of the lucky one online pre-orders that got your phone early the iPhone is officially out. I unfortunately am still a Sprint customer itching hard to drop my contract for the new and beautiful iPhone 4. I did get a chance to stop by at the Apple Store today. The pre-order line was long and it really wasn’t moving. The display is as amazing as they said it would be. The resolution on the phone is fairly amazing.

At first glance:
Thing I liked
- Display
- The glossy feel
- iOS 4 – It clearly is a lot better then 3.1.3. A lot smoother and seems very clean.

Thing I dont like
- Multi tasking – Its not real multitasking. Apps are froze. So if you like gchat while you want to check you gmail. You won’t be receiving notifications that you got a message. Something that pre, android and blackberry already do very well. Lack of a similar feature has me on the fence, if I really want to swap carrier or should I settle for the EVO 4g.
- Weight – It feels heavy. Not as light as I was expecting.

As many of you may have figured out this blog runs on the wordpress platform.  WordPress is a popular blogging application package many blogger choose to use.  The primary problem with it is, it is slow.  The slowness can be caused by many thing such as too many calls to database, too many images, too many etc.  WordPress is a great tool that allows plug-ins’.  I have used many caching tools to improve performance on the site, but none every really made a drastic improvement until now.  I came across a real powerful, one that is utilized by Maxcon.  Maxcon is CDN – Content Delivery Network.  The W3 Total Cache Plug In improves performance drastically.   Maxcon works with blogs like Mashable, also build on Wordpress.  I highly recommend installing this plug in if you are using Wordpress.  It is compatible with versions up to 2.9.2.

iPad was released on Saturday April 3 2010, and its working its way on making a huge splash in its opening week.  Some 300,000 iPads were sold on Sat. and the total was at 450,000 on Thursday.  Jobs Mentioned that 3.5 million downloads for the iPad apps.  I didn’t buy one just yet because I wanted to wait to see what iPhone OS 4.0 had in store.  I did go check out the iPad at my local Apple Store and I was pretty amazed by its performance.  To many it appears as an useless large iPod Touch but really its not that large. Possible 4 iPod Touches put together.  The iPad has a beautiful display, its fast and smooth, the apps available on it are pretty amazing.  So its all perfect no.  Thing I hate: The Black outline, no direct usb inputs, apps are overpriced.  I spent about 30 minutes messing around with the iPad, and I overheard many customers mentioned the iPad being overpriced, a Large iPod, and apps being overpriced.  The App Store brought success to the iPhone and iPod Touch, but many of the programs on the iPhone are completely free.  iPad was released with only 3500 Apps, which is a lot for opening day, but choices are not as abundant as the iPod.  Will I buy an iPad? Eventually, upset that iPhone OS 4.0 doesn’t hit the iPad till Fall 2010.   Also if you are wondering, many Apple Stores have the iPad in stock.
