To celebrate the iPad’s first anniversary, The MacJury convened to discuss the impact of Apple’s tablet.

MacJury #1102: A Weekend with the iPad 2

Chuck — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 02:30:06 +0000

After a busy and intense weekend working with the new iPad 2, The MacJury covenes to discuss their findings and render a verdict on such things as their buying experiences at different stores, the crowds and lines they encountered and their initial impressions that occasionally defy the specs. Who got which configuration, their impressions of the speed, the size, the weight, the screen, the cameras, the Smart Case, and the inevitable question of whether to upgrade or not and more are discussed by the panel of Adam Christianson, Victor Cajiao, Jeff Gamet, Pat Fauquet, Nancy Gravley, Don McAllister, Terry White and host Chuck Joiner.

MacJury #1101: Deliberations on The iPad 2 Announcement

Chuck — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 23:47:00 +0000

The wait is over. The iPad 2 has been announced with a healthy dose of fanfare…but what does it mean to you? An all-star panel of iPad experts agreed to serve on this, our first MacJury of 2011 to discuss the redesign, upgrades and enhancements from both hardware and software perspectives, the way the news was delivered, and where this leaves the shipping and not-yet-shipping competition. Examining the evidence and rendering the verdict are Tonya Engst, Jeff Gamet, Joe Kissell, Don McAllister, Omaha Sternberg, and host Chuck Joiner.

Chuck — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 15:00:58 +0000

The third and final pre-Black Friday MacJury convened to deliberate on even more holiday gift ideas that will keep those on your list happy, and you out of the mall madness. With picks at all price ranges, tech and non-tech, and some with an eye toward social responsibility, you’re sure to find something for everyone you need to buy gifts for…including yourself. The panel who you will not find at the mall with all those crazy bargain-hunting shoppers includes Mark Anbinder, Mark Fuccio, John Grzeskowiak, Keith Lang, Chuck La Tournous and host Chuck Joiner.

MacJury #1020: Back-To-School Tech – Macs, iPads and Today’s Changing Educational Environment

Chuck — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:00:00 +0000

It is that time of year again. Schools and universities around the globe welcome students back to their studies, but what tech is going with them? How are those institutions embracing (or not) laptops, iPhones, iPods and iPads? Are they keeping up with the pace of change in the outside world, or is education establishment stuck in the past? The MacJury examines these questions from a variety of standpoints, including hardware access and availability, textbooks vs. tech, the wisdom of funding allocations, the U.S. education market compared to other places in the world, and more. Recommendations for hardware, software and services for students and educators alike are provided by the diverse panel of Erik Bernskiold, Pat Fauquet, Jeff Gamet, Keith Lang, Julio Ojeda-Zapata, and host Chuck Joiner.

MacJury #1011: The MacJury Deliberates on The AT&T iPhone and iPad Data Plan Changes

Chuck — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:30:00 +0000

One of the hottest cases on the docket is AT&T’s revisions to their iPhone and iPad data plans, and The MacJury isn’t afraid to discuss the evidence from all sides of the story. The panel cover their initial, sometimes angry, reactions to the changes, then settle down to examine their own usage rates and how they compare to the new plans, the announcement (finally) of tethering, and whether the pricing is a deterrent, revealing AT&T’s fears over network capacity. Industry trends in relation to the announcements, the desirability of an unlimited plan, jailbreak options, how all this compares on an international basis, and more are all discussed by the distinguished group that includes Jeff Gamet, Pat Fauquet, Keith Lang, Chuck LaTournous, and Michael Johnston.

MacJury #1008: Judgement on the First Weekend with the iPad 3G

Chuck — Tue, 04 May 2010 18:00:00 +0000

With much less fanfare than accompanied the first model, the iPad 3G made its debut last weekend. Is it better than its less-connected sibling? The MacJury is on the case, with two members chiming in from the high seas, examining the latest device from both expectation and performance standpoints. The panel discusses the results of a real-world New York City travel test, and why 3G adds flexibility in some cases but may not be necessary in others. Which data plan to select, how much video 250 megabytes gets you, the effects of 3G on battery life, and a round of favorite iPad apps are all covered by Jeff Carlson, Pat Fauquet, Mark Fuccio, Jean MacDonald, Tom Negrino and host Chuck Joiner.

MacJury #1007: The TidBITS Braintrust Discusses The Many Aspects of The iPad

Chuck — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 13:30:00 +0000

A special MacJury was needed to discuss the iPad; that’s why we pulled the largest MacJury ever from the braintrust that is the TidBITS staff. This isn’t just discussion of iPad first impressions. The topics included iPad sharing, etiquette, the need for a guest mode, the iPad as a physical object, and the many places you will want to use your iPad. Where the iPad fits in your digital life, whether it is a new, replacement or convergence device, the most fashionable ways to tote your iPad, and more were entered into evidence. The session concluded with each MacJuror revealing their favorite aspect of the iPad (guess who compared it to, “eating pudding with your fingers”), talking about why what you do with it when you aren’t using the iPad is important, and the unusual way the TidBITS crew obtained their iPads. The panel for this session included: Mark Anbinder, Jeff Carlson, Adam Engst, Tonya Engst, Glenn Fleishman, Joe Kissell, Rich Mogull and Matt Neuburg.

MacJury #1006: iPhone 4.0 Analysis, Online Advertising and More by the Staff of The Mac Observer

Chuck — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 14:30:00 +0000

A panel drawn from the talent pool at The Mac Observer dips into iPad sizes and perceptions before taking on Apple’s iPhone 4.0 announcements. What the implementation of multitasking will mean, from both an obvious and not so obvious perspective, the addition of folders to organize your apps, and why both are so last century are first on the agenda. The discussion then takes a turn deep into online advertising models, Apple’s motivation to create iAd, and what it all means to users, publishers and advertisers. Games, how iPhone 4.0 fits in to the iPad, iPhone apps on the iPad and more round out the deliberations by John F. Braun, Dave Hamilton, Ted Landau, Chuck La Tournous and host Chuck Joiner.

Chuck — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 13:00:00 +0000

After spending the weekend working with their brand new iPads, a distinguished panel of MacJurors convened to discuss their experiences and opinions on the Apple’s latest mobile device. The group share their first impressions, some app picks, and opinions on all things iPad, including weight, battery life, intended vs. actual uses, app picks and prices, pixel doubling, virtual and bluetooth keyboards, the rapidly evolving iPad interface, Apple’s apps, cases, docks, and a whole lot more. So much more that the deliberations had to be split into two shows. Empanneled to discuss the iPad are:
