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.

iPod Touch.
So cool, so Apple.

So, I'm sitting here ogling photographs of the
new
iPod nano
on the internet and I really love the size and shape
of the new design plus the thinness! Last evening I
watched the keynote of
Steve Jobs
unveiling the refreshed and reinvented iPod lineup at
the
Moscone Center
in
San Francisco, CA.
Well, during his speech he was literally slipping the
new
iPod nano
and the brand new
iPod Touch
in and out of the front pockets of his
signature
blue jeans.
As it turns out he had the redesigned
iPod nano
in one front pocket and the brand new,
stunning
iPod Touch
in his other front pocket; the new
iPod nano
is only 0.3 inches thin. It's all just so fun to
think about because he walked us through the history
of the iPods and how much thicker they used to be yet
some how
Apple's
designers and engineers continue to innovate and make
them even thinner while increasing capacity and
battery life; no matter whether you're running music
or video so you're getting even more bang for your
buck.
Which brings me to how damn cool would it be to have episodes of my new-to-me favorite TV show right in my pocket on my iPod nano or my iPod Classic [new moniker, more on this in a separate post] at least the first two seasons which are available at iTunes. How fun, favorite, hit shows, on the cool new iPods which are hitting stores shelves as I type this. I've owned an iPod going back to the first generation and I was surprised at the quality of the video on what used to be called, iPod Video (it's now called the iPod Classic) and I understand the screen on the new iPod nano is brighter and has the a higher resolution. I have yet to see what video looks like on the iPhone but I understand the color resolution (image quality) are stellar, which is the same on the new iPod Touch. Enjoy.
Hit TV shows, music, iPod nano and iTunes - it doesn't get any better than that now does it!

I'm thinking the iPod nano would make a great gift along with an iTunes gift card so the recipient can get started downloading music and video right out-of-the-box as the saying goes.

"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.

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.”
