Latest Putting Gadget from Ping

iPing Putter App Review

Here is a great way for you to lower you golf score and improve your golf game the iPing Putter App, download it for free (for iphone 4 and iPod touch 4^th generation)  and purchase a iPing clip on cradle for about $30 bucks and your away.

The latest in the iPing technology looks at three main features, stroke type, impact angle and tempo. You take 5 10 foot putts and the iPing putter app analyses your stroke and gives you a putting handicap and gives you the areas you need to work on.

Firstly to stroke type measures if your club face angle is open or closed at impact, whether you are rotating the putter face. Apparently you can be classified as slight arc, strong arc or straight. Players tend to be most consistent with a balanced putter that matches your stroke. Face balanced putters are better for straight strokes and the toe down putters are more effective with a strong arc.

Obviously the Impact Angle is extremely important, this is measured in degrees and the closer you get to zero the better.

Your tempo is measured for the duration of the backswing relative to your follow through, such as a 2:1 ratio, the better the players the more consistent your tempo is.

So you can practice you putts in practice mode, if you are working in one key area and then you can set it to the measure mode to hit those 5 consistent putts so you can work on lowering you iPing Putting Handicap.

There is also a compare mode; this is where you can compare your results with previous sessions or with your friends.

So as you can see this little app is a lot of fun and it is very beneficial to lowering your handicap, I think iPing are on to a winner here, I have certainly enjoyed it, you can play it on the carpet in your own home or take it out onto the putting green and show your friends how much your putting has improved using the new iPing app. Download you iPing putting app and get your iPing putting cradle right here.

Apple MacBook MC516LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop Review

Mac MC516LL/A

Here is the latest Mac Book on the market, with so many great features.
The Apple MacBook MC516LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop has a8.6 rating out of 10 with 37 reviews.

This Mac Book is perfect for web browsing, e-mail, and document creation.
Comes with great features right out of the box: iLife simply rocks; it comes with PhotoBooth, Garageband (where you can create your own music or learn to how play an instrument), Preview, and iMovie (it's basically an easier version of Windows Movie Maker)

Time Machine for backing up documents and pictures, which is FAR SUPERIOR than using the Backup Feature in Windows.

Wi-Fi is SO EASY to set-up using what Apple calls "Airport", just go to the wi-fi antenna at the top of the right-hand corner and set-up right there.

Printing: Coming from a Windows world, and living in a household with a wireless network, setting up a printer was a pain in the butt with Windows, with Mac, it's SO EASY to set-up and begin printing.

BlueTooth: BlueTooth is common in all laptops nowadays, and again, like setting up a printer, it basically connects with the BlueTooth device automatically.

MagSafe Adapter: Apple introduced this idea called MagSafe. If someone got caught on your power cord, it would take the cord and not the computer. I can't tell you how many times my dogs got caught on my IBM power cord and basically almost took the computer with it.

Battery Life: Wow, what a difference. I was coming from a half-hour battery life on my IBM, although Apple says that the battery can last on a 10 hours on a single charge, in the real world, it's falls under 6 hours, but still this is pretty incredible.

Conclusion
If you only want to use the Macbook for general tasks like writing articles, browsing websites or watching movies, it will handle those duties adequately.



Review Number 2
I usually do not write reviews, but i felt for this computer I had to! It is so great. First, it's so easy to start up.. you basically just turn it on, make a user name and thats it!! I expected it to be bulky, but i was pleasantly suprised when I opened the box and saw that it is sleek and the perfect size for travel. I am a student and this computer is perfect. Apple is very good about customer service. This mac already comes with a one year warranty. ( i bought the extension, a three year warranty) I would recommend this to anyone. I will never go back to windows!!

Cell Phone Charging Pad

Looking for a cell phone charging pad, well now they are available.The Duracell myGrid charging device is a product you want to like. Imagine the possibilities, you come home and toss your phone, iPod or other device on the pad and walk away. No wires to plug and unplug, no more having several chargers plugged in the wall outlet. A wireless home power grid, truly the wave of the future.



If you have multiple cell phones that you would like to charge, or if you are very tired of having to go search for your ordinary plug-in charger and then fiddling to plug that into your phone. Also, one particular kit only works for owners of Motorola, Nokia and Blackberry phones.

Duracell have also bought out another kit that works for Apple iPhones. They are slowly improving each model of cell phone charging pad.





My Grid Reviews
Overall it's a great little product, and it gets better if everyone in the house has a phone with this type of case because everyone can just rest their phone down and it gets charged from the one simple charging station, this eliminates countless adapters and cords and makes life a heck of a lot easier.

The one use that I see the myGrid serving well is as a charging dock on a desk. Keeping the phone plugged in and then unplugging it everytime I want to use it is a real pain. So being able to keep my phone charged by just tossing it down on the desk is very appealing to me. However, the case is so annoying that I think that the case will just stay with the myGrid for use only when sitting at the desk.
