Yesterday construction workers of world’s largest Apple store, located in NYC’s Grand Central, spread a word that it won’t be ready to open on or before this year’s Black Friday. It seems like Apple is not much satisfied with the progress at Grand Central. The opening is rumored to be delayed by at least a week. This means that Apple is going to miss all the fun on Black Friday!

Apple hasn’t officially confirmed when exactly the largest Apple store is scheduled to open, so let’s wait and see. Meanwhile discover the new Apple store from inside and tell us what you think via comments.

Apple is going to hold a special shopping event on Black Friday–November 25. Though Black Friday is a US shopping event, Apple scheduled the event to take place worldwide including the Apple stores in U.K., Australia, Canada, Germany, France and Italy. Don’t get upset if there are no Apple stores in your country, you can surely benefit from online shopping; the special shopping event is going both virtual and real.

It was stated at Apple store:

Mark your calendar now, and come back to the Apple Online Store the day after Thanksgiving for the special one-day event. You’ll discover amazing iPad, iPod, and Mac gifts for everyone on your list.

Until then, browse the Apple Online Store for great ideas.

What discounts can you expect from Apple stores on Black Friday?

To tell the truth Apple discounts are usually small and third-party retailers offer more savings. I can’t guess what offers it will make this year but if we look back we can see that last year’s discounts are not promising much. On Black Friday 2010 Apple offered $101 savings on iMac, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air lines, $41 savings on the iPad, and a $21 discount on the iPod touch. IPone usually retains the same price. I want to remind you again that these are the results of last year’s Black Friday and Apple made no official announcements of this year’s pricing.

Apple is expecting $37 billion in revenue for the December quarter; maybe this will make Apple do more discounts on Black Friday 2011.

The recent surveys have shown that Apple’s iOS devices top children’s wish lists on this holiday season. The 44% of children aged between 6-12 wish to get an iPad, 30% want an iPod touch, and 26% are interested in iPhone.

So, don’t miss Apple’s special shopping event! We are expecting an “iHoliday”!

No, this is not a shot from “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrations, not even a shot from “2012” movie. This is Black Friday; the day when Christmas shopping craze officially starts, the day when people literally storm the most popular shopping stores and empty their wallets and credit cards, the day when those shopping stores earn millions, if not billions!  And this year’s Black Friday is not going to be an exception.

For Black Friday veterans the day after Thanksgiving is the most expected event throughout the year, but for the ones who do not have much experience in shopping craze or who fear to accidentally get trampled, Black Friday may even be annoying.

So, how can you survive through upcoming shopping frenzy?

1. Plan

If you are brave enough to shop on Black Friday, then make sure to be prepared. Start planning much earlier. Start a wish list and fill it with everything you want and can afford to buy.

Tip: Consider that you may spend much more than you expect without even noticing, so set a budget and take the rest of the money off the credit card!

2. Research

Most of the stores start their promotional campaigns early enough for you to do a little research and check for the prices and best deals at every store. Go through your list and find best offers for every item.

Tip: If there’s a slight difference in prices you’d better shop most of the list in the same store than rush from one corner of the city to the other through all of the traffic jams that are anticipated on Black Friday!

3. Route

When you already know where to shop, you must plan your route in order to save time and manage everything you’ve planned. Plan your route the shortest possible way and consider that streets are going to be three times more crowded on Black Friday.

Tip: Shopping veterans are more likely to have already occupied the most popular stores with tent camps, so consider spending a few hours in the lines and ask yourself if the item you want is worth it.

4. Shop Online

On Black Friday many shopping stores offer special deals and sales for online shoppers as well, so if after all you decide to stay at home and set yourself higher than this hazardous display of unrestrained consumption, you can still get some good deals online.

Tip: Be careful not to destroy your well-planned Black Friday shopping due to high shipping charges.

You have probably heard of a new android OS version coming up in the fall 2011, haven’t you? Well, for those who haven’t, here’s a brief into.

Google is presenting a new Android OS 4.0 which is going to be a perfect blend of Android 2.3 Gingerbread for smartphones and Android 3.x Honeycomb for tablets. The new OS is already known as Android IceCream Sandwich, which is so like Google. Android Icecream Sandwich is expected to be a direct competition for iOS 5 released together with the new iPhone 4S on October 4^th.

Android Icecream Sandwich is going to be a unified Android OS running on smartphones, tablets, PCs and anything in between.  This is probably the biggest challenge that Google has undertaken for Android so far.

Some of the key features of Android Icecream Sandwich are going to be; improved multitasking capabilities with no more memory management issues; new APIs which will make it easier for developers to develop apps and face tracking feature.

So the thing is which device is going to be the first to carry Android Icecream Sandwich?

October 11th 2011. San Diego. Samsung Mobile Unpacked 2011 – Google Episode.

Samsung Mobile Unpacked? Google Episode?

Too many coincidences are witnessing that Samsung Nexus Prime is going to be the first smartphone to introduce Android Icecream Sandwich OS, which in its turn is rumored to be presented on October 11^th 2011, exactly a week after the release of iPhone 4S!

Whatever it is, Samsung claims it to be “Something BIG” and if it is somehow associated with Google then brace yourselves and wait for a spectacular event!
