I'm not sure how much these will actually boost my productivity, but I am really going to utilize the crap out of the app folders and multitasking. The calendar API sounds pretty cool, but hasn't gotten much press — then again it may be a little a little too technical to get a lot of writeups. How [...]
Smart playlists are awesome and are the feature I love the most. The fairlty recently added genius setup is wonderful too. But like every hot-headed consumer, I want more. Below are a list of things that I'd love to see Apple implement with iTunes: Continue Reading iTunes Enhancements and Additions I Want to See »
I really like the book reader, and any video playing on it was great. I played a couple videos of our little boy that had been posted on YouTube and it was amazing little clear and brought a big smile to my face. The wife has started to come around on the device, and showing her Tyler on it would probably bring her over the edge. I'm a bit of an Apple fan, to say the least, but not real happy with the direction they're heading with lockdown — or at least when they are touting it as a quality control thing, when it's clearly not. I agree with the recent musings of my bud John Zhu and then today's article linked [...]
I thought maybe it'd be good for traveling and watching movies, but that's debunked and a detraction after reading this article: Watching Movies on an iPad: What You See is What you Get. If you read the articles comments and his later revision of his graphic, it's not as bad as first reported, but the thing still has a lot of wasted space top and bottom for cinematic viewing, but as the commenters point out, that happens in theaters and your HDTV as well. Regardless, it's better than watching on a smaller screen iPod/iPhone, but you'd still be better off toting your MacBook for movie watching. Here's a nice and short list of a few gift ideas for the iPhone users in your life — which if it's anything like our circle of friends, family and co-workers, it's a ton. From the list, I really like the WallDock concept. The PowerMat is really cool too, but it'd be better if it [...] Chalk this up as yet another rumor swirling around about an [ineveitable] product that Apple has yet to release, with details that are highly scarce, but the Apple fanboys are drooling over. Yet I'm wondering where this mythical modified and larger version of the iPhone's true utility will lie for so many users who already carry [...] Good quick list of hardware add-ons we still haven't seen for the Apple iPhone. The physical keyboard is especially surprising that a third party hasn't already developed. But then again, Apple does keep a pretty firm grip and lockdown on all their hardware/software. The universal remote would be really cool. I already use the iPhone as [...] Lots of new Apple goodies today, including new LED-screen based iMac, faster Mac Minis (finally!), a new (no longer dubbed Mighty) multi-touchmouse and Airport Extreme, among others. It's funny, as just this past weekend, I was contemplating snagging an Airport Extreme to simplify our home network setup. Currently, we've got a wired router, with a set of [...] Hmm, I wasn't aware the iPhone 3GS and the 2nd and 3rd generation iPod touch models already have the capability to support FM radio tuning. This rumor makes a lot of sense in the fact that their two top-of-the-line iPod(ish) products should have all the features of the smaller and cheaper iPods. I could see using this [...] |

iTunes has come a long way from its OS X only roots of being merely a way to organize and play your music. It's now more of a media hub — pretty crucial to all consumer electronics products Apple has released — iPods, iPhones, iPads and even the AppleTV. It's now includes their store for music, videos, podcasts and applications.
I've obviously been spending more time in the Apple Store these days, and got my hands on it iPad, and have gotten to play around with a whole slew of apps. Let me first say, the screen is great. The size is perfect. But I'm still not rushing out and getting one. I'm not as anti-iPad as I once was, cause like I had originally said, I wanted to hold and play with one and would reserve judgment.
