The next iPhone...


Rumors about the next iPhone (speculated to be the 5S) are picking up again due to recent claims from an enthusiast site, MacFan (http://macfan.jp).  The site is in Japanese but I’ve learned about it through CNET (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57576986-37/iphone-5s-to-launch-june-20-go-on-sale-july-claims-report/?subj=cnet&tag=title). In reality, it’s iPhone rumors never cease to exist. As soon as the next iPhone comes out rumors about the next iPhone will most likely begin. The iPhone is rumored to launch in July and it is doubtful to feature anything significantly new. I’m predicting it will be along the usual upgrades and include a better processor, improved cameras, and better battery life. Personally, I suspect the next iPhone will not be worth upgrading to if you’re on the iPhone 4S or 5. And for those Andriod users, I don’t think the next iPhone will provide anything to motivate you to switch.  I would love to hear y’alls comments, predictions, and if you will be upgrading or not.

JustCloud - A Useful Cloud Storage Service


Today I would like to share my experience about  JustCloud, an online storage service that I recently started using. For $9.95 a month I am getting unlimited storage for my macbook, iPhone, and iPad. I simply select which files/folders I want backed up and when I want to back up and JustCloud will automatically backup my devices. If you want to backup additional computers, external drives, or even services, you have to purchase an extra license (one-time fee). So far, I have no complaints with this service. My backups have been slow but that is due to the ridiculously slow upload speeds of AT&T in my area.

If you would like more information about this useful service, just click here to visit their website. Also, if you would like to view other services if JustCloud isn’t for you, here is a top 10 list of thebest online storage services from TopTen Reviews
