iPod nano

I'm turning a corner, in a manner of speaking...

As blogMerit evolves and grows the tone is taking on natural, added character and this is one of those times. Don't be offended its me but its some of the 'me' that I've been curb checking so as to appeal to the broadest audience. However, I do have some very strong opinions so I will begin sharing those here, and as always all my posts are open to comments. That said is also one of the features that's not back online yet. It's being sorted and will be live again very soon.
Oh, and by the way I want to say I create, upload and manage my websites with this wonderful application from a company called Real Mac Software, its called Rapidweaver. I believe the current version is 3.6 and yes, its "Leopard" ready. I work on a Mac and I have for years. Jumped right into iPod and iTunes when they became available. I always upgrade my OS X I tend to upgrade pretty quickly when the updates come out; they're pretty scheduled about every 18 months there's a system upgrade and unlike Windows there's no confusing upgrade paths to try and figure out. If you have one Mac you'll probably buy the single user license but if you have more Macs say an iMac and MacBook you'd buy the Family Pack license for only a few bucks more then you can legally install it on up to five (5) Mac and all this is $129.00 - $199.00. What's that saying, of that's it, It's a no-brainer. More on these wonderful resources for Mac users later. I'm marking this as one of my Cool beans topic for later followup postings. iPod, iPhone, OS X "Leopard", iMac, iTunes, Safari just to name a few.
iPhone gifts they'll love. Give iPhone with signature gift wrap and free shipping. Maybe's its time you take another look at the Mac. I mean, come on what do have to lose?!

"A Little Video For Everyone" the new iPod nano with video...

page0_blog_entry80_1 The ipod lineup received more than a facelift today when Apple, Inc. announced the new iPod Touch (see separate post) and the re-designed iPod nano now with video in a new design. Not having had the opportunity to play with them yet I can't say for certain but at first glance at the photographs it appears to me Apple has done it again and just in time for the holiday season which of course is no accident on Apple's part. Anyway, back to the matter at hand the new nano and the ultra-hip, new iPod Touch make worthy sidekicks to the stunning iPhone. There's something about the size and shape coupled with it playing video that has hit product written all over it. The nano is already the most popular in the iPod lineup and so far, this does not disappoint.

Lots of Cool New Products from Apple, Inc. today...

I have been waiting for these upgrades but I thought I was going to have to wait until Leopard comes out in October but YEAH they're here today along with the sexy, sleek, new iMac, new Mac mini plus major upgrades to iWork '08 and iLife '08. 10492186-3You know, when you compare the features and the cost of Apple's iWork suite Apple's wins hands down, a single license is only $79.00 and if you need a family pack it's only $99.00 for installation on five MACS for $100 and five, registered installations versus $350.00 for the standard version of Microsoft Office for Mac. OK, well that's a no-brainer $80-$100 versus $350+ for MS Office, isn't it obvious. I've been using iWork '06 via PAGES and a little bit of KEYNOTE and I really like what I've created. I've also had a lot of fun creating my documents. I'm a creative writer and I can honestly say opening PAGES and using one of the included templates sparks my creativity and I hit the ground running every time. Plus it's really intuitive and easy to use. Another reason why I love my MAC.

Trouble In Paraside - AT&T Dumps iPhone from...

It will be interesting to watch this deal as we move forward. The rumor is that it's a five year, exclusive deal for AT&T to sell Apple's iPhone but it's known that Apple extracted unprecedented deal terms from AT&T not the least of which is a revenue share based upon a percentage of the monthly plan fee the iPhone customer signs up for. This will be fun to watch as Apple develops what we know will be a line of iPhones beyond the first model.
