As March 7th is getting closer and closer more rumors are rising as to what the next design of the iPad 3 will be and whether there will be an or not, and here at Couch Avenue, I got exclusive pictures of the next iPad 3 design!
Wanna see what the next iPad 3 will look like? Well click on the “Read More” link and check it out in all its glory!
I wanted to write about this earlier but better late than never. Two weeks ago announced a 50 day promotion starting on October 12th at 12:00AM in which they offer their iPhone/iPodTouch and iPad users 50GB FREE for signing up and downloading the app.
Some might ask what is Box.net? Well if you heard of and it is very similar but it allows you to have storage space that isn’t limited to your mobile device.
This promotion is only running for 50 days, so to get your free space in the cloud you have to follow the following steps:
1. Visit the app store and download the Box app for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch []
2. Log into your account or register for a new one directly from the app.
3. Start sharing and collaborating in the cloud
4. Tell others about it (Optional)
Something interesting about the app si that your account will have an increased file size upload limit of 100MB instead of the usual 25MB therefore you can upload 100MB files directly without having to compress them! The app also has the ability to use AirPlay which you can use to stream Box content to an Apple TV for effortless projection of photos, videos, presentations and more.
Sounds great? Then rush over there and grab it! I did the second I heard about it.

I will be starting a series of my Travelling posts and the awesome stuff I bought from the States and one of the things was an accessory I got for my iPad2 as well as my little sister’s iPad2!
It’s the !
I can’t really take the time off from my day of walking around the city to sit and write about my adventures but sometimes I just feel that I have to! Because what I’ve done these past few days was awesome! I will tell you guys more but let me summarize my New York stay in just a few words right now and also include my gadget shopping spree I went on!
New York (I Love YOU!)
May 1st- I got in and later that evening I went to see an Off-Broadway Musical called “Avenue Q” it was amazing! A Parody Puppet show telling us that life isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be hehe but we should make it work for ourselves! Awesome I had tons of fun!
May 2nd- Went to a Broadway Show called “Priscilla Queen of the Desert” for those of you old enough to know the movie which is quite old, it’s a show about 3 drag queens in Australia taking their show from Sydney to Alice, Australia so that “Tick” can finally meet his son. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT! It was simply amazing! The costumes, the music, the insane-ness of it all! It was a diva show and I just absolutely adored it! I would definitely recommend you all to check it out! If you don’t feel like jumping out of your seat to sing along with them then you don’t have a musical heart in you!
May 3rd- *aka yesterday!* I went to see a live-taping of *wait for it* “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” and OMFG it was amazing! The guests of the night were Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Hudson, and ELMO! I had an insane time! I will definitely tell you more later on in an individual post but I just had to put this out there! It was simply amazing and I love ELMO! He gave us all free DVDs to take home with us! I am going to cherish it for life! The Roots (the band) were there as well and I just simply love them! *sigh* I want to see more Jimmy!
That’s my amazing life so far in New York it’s simply insane and I love it! I wish I could spend more time here but by then I’ll be insanely flat broke and that can’t happen!
Now onto the next topic, I’ve acquired lots of cool gadgets on this trip but some of the things I’d like to mention are:
- A brand new sparkling MacBook Pro 17″ with a 2.2Ghz Quadcore i7 Processor, 8GB of RAM, 750GB HDD, and an Anti-Glare Hi-Resolution screen which is absolutely awesome!
- A brand new Black iPad 2 3G & Wifi 64GB (which took me a week to track down! Now they are available at the Apple Store in Fifth Avenue)
- A Blackberry Playbook 16GB Wifi Only Model
And those are only some of the cool things I’ve got well I guess these were my biggest purchases! I am just insanely in love with the US and wish I could move and live here but then again I would be broke all the time! I would live in the Apple Store, trust me I would! I love you sisters and parents! Thanks for this awesome time! I have a few more days left until then I will come back with some awesome posts but at the moment I just want to enjoy my insane time!
So I’m desperate for a new gadget and with it being Mother’s Day (Happy Mother’s Day to all you women and some men out there!) I had to get my hands on one, so I grabbed the 32GB Wifi only White Model as I was desperate and I will be going to the States in less than a month anyways so I will grab the one I want from there, this will be a secondary and can be given to Lujain if she behaves and get’s good grades or give it to Sister #3 who has stood in line since 6:45AM on Sunday morning waiting for the iPad 2 only to have it sold out!
So I will be giving you an Impressions post very soon but right now just enjoy this picture since I really went crazy on myself and took pictures using Instagram (my favorite iPhone 4 Application) as well as my older digital camera (I dunno where I put the other one).
P.S. I got it from Mobile2000 for 229KD which is the best deal out there today, and in comparison with the 180KD Apple US price (inclusive of Taxes) and around 10-20KD Aramex/Customs Charges It’s almost 29KD more than the US price. So in the end it was a good deal.
My order has been cancelled stating that I have exceeded the allowed limit per customer, bear in mind I only ordered 2 iPads. Therefore I will be asking one of my sisters to grab me one from one of the Apple Stores in her State. That way I can still get it without having to wait for the 2-3 weeks shipping estimate if I ordered it online.
And that’s all folks.

MacWorld is Next Week are you excited? [] I know I am!
In a move that can only be summarized by saying “Ending 2010 with a big BANG!” Skype has updated their iPhone App to include Video Calling! Something it has been lacking for quite some time now. I believe Skype is one of the most universal and highly adapted video calling platforms all around the world, and the fact that video was left out on the iPhone put a damper on everyone’s spirits including mine, we all tried to find alternatives such as Tango, FaceTime, Yahoo Messenger, and so much more! But now you can delete all of those except FaceTime of course and focus only on Skype!
Improvements:
• Make Skype to Skype video calls on WiFi and 3G*
• Call Skype desktop users (Mac OS X or Windows) and other iPhone users.
• Two-way video calls supported on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4th gen.
• Receive only video supported on iPad and iPod touch 3rd gen, with no camera.
• Make video calls in portrait and landscape.
• Skype video calling requires iOS 4.0 or above.
*Additional Data charges may apply
I updated my iPhone this morning and downloaded the update for Skype and it was AWESOME! I called my little sister at home and even though I was on 3G and she was on Wi-Fi I saw her crystal clear and it didn’t show as if it’s about to die out on me like it does on Tango! It was fun and a nice way to waste some time in the office! If you haven’t updated Skype for your iPhone go and hurry up download the update and enjoy it! Whether you are on 3G or Wifi the picture is awesome and so much fun!
I actually wanted to get up and dance but then I remembered I was at work while watching that video!
