To Apple Store, Boise Towne Square. Sorry for hogging your bandwidth. November 4, 2011

Posted by very in : Apple, iOS, iPad, iPhone, Tech , add a comment

I went to Apple Store, Boise Towne Square to download iOS 5 for my iPhone. I could try downloading iOS 5 through Virgin Mobile Mi-Fi or AT&T 3G, but it would be slow and seriously deplete my data quota. As I arrived, I immediately proceeded to download iOS 5 for the iPhone and iPad 2. While enjoying close to 5Mbps download, my colleague told me that he was having terrible Internet speed on other Mac in the store. Is it possible that I just hogged the bandwidth at the Apple Store? After finishing the download, my colleague told me that the Internet was usable again.

To Apple Store, Boise Towne Square, please accept my apology. I did really download iOS 5 for my iPhone and iPad 2.

On the road again. September 5, 2011

Posted by very in : iPhone, News, Tech , add a comment

I’m on the road heading back to homebase from an assignment on this holiday weekend. It will takes about 15 hours driving plus some stops. I’m hoping there wouldn’t be any big announcement on the tech world since I’d be having little Internet access on the road. There are still a lot of area uncovered by AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon wireless Internet access.

Being on the road can be challenging especially without having access to the Internet, fast Internet. The place I’m staying somewhere in Idaho does not have Internet service. I am relying on my iPhone and Nexus One for Internet access. Surprisingly, AT&T has great service in the area surrounding Boise. On average I’m getting around 1.5 Mbps up and down on both the iPhone and the Nexus One. Corresponding through email and VOIP as if I’m on a better DSL service.

Anyway, I’ll be off in a few minutes heading back to Southern California.

p.s. to all my friends in Boise and surrounding area: Go Broncos!

Walmart in Meridian, Idaho still has one iPad 2 left. It is the 32GB WiFi black model.

I don’t see any iPad 2 line there. Someone can just walk in and get it.
