iPod
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?!

Apple Reinvents Cool All Over Again with the iPod Touch...
09/05/2007 13:17 Filed in: technology
Apple unveiled the latest update to their hit digital
music player and it's called
iPod Touch
and it's gorgeous as it's a slightly smaller version
of the iPhone so it contains features first seen in
Apple's hit cellular phone, the iPhone. One of the
coolest features, in my opinion is finally has WI-FI
which allow you to purchase via WIWI-FI from Apple's
new WI-FI iTunes music store directly to your
iPod Touch.
I've been waiting for WI-FI to come to the
iPod Touch
and it's pretty cool now that it's here plus the deal
with Starbucks is brilliant for Apple and Starbucks.
When you enter a Starbucks with WI-FI your iPod sees
the network and you're allowed onto the network at no
charge (in other words, no fees to T-mobile to access
the WI-FI hotspot). This is of course to facilitate
the ability of visitors to purchase music they're
hearing in Starbucks in that very moment; purchase it
via the Wi-Fi iTunes store as they sell Starbucks
music already. Cool beans. The new
iPod Touch
comes in 8GB and 16GB models beginning at
$299.00.
As I learn more I'll update this post and include a
full review once I've used it. Check out the
video demo.
at apple.com to see the new
iPod Touch.
So cool, so Apple.
"A Little Video For Everyone" the new iPod nano with video...
08/25/2007 13:20 Filed in: technology
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.

“iPhone seduces us with its bells, whistles…and ease
of use”
“If lovin’ this phone is wrong,” pines Etan Horowitz (OrlandoSentinel.com), “I don’t want to be right.” He calls iPhone “the most fun and easy to use gadget I’ve ever laid my hands on” and says that “carrying it in my pocket made me feel connected to the world the way I do when I’m surfing the Internet on a high-speed connection.” In fact, “Safari, the iPhone’s Internet browser, lets you display up to eight Web pages at once, and it’s easy to move among them.” Horowitz “was also impressed by the battery life, which gave me nearly six hours of talking, Internet browsing and video watching before I needed to charge it.”

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

| Shopping
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.
