Bob Has Finally Caught Up With Apple!

Recently  I ceased posting and took a long time to gather information. What I ended up with is ketchup. Apple flavored ketchup and it is actually really good. Quite a bit has happened but I'm gonna give you a good bit of the important stuff.

1. iPods with New Features and iPods that Look Rediculous Apple has some new toys and they are weird. Some good features, some old features on new items and some obvious features that they forgot to include in the last version.



1. iPod touch The new iPod touch looks awesome I'm not gonna lie. It has a front and back camera and a gyro. In iOS 4.1 there will be multitasking! You even get the update free with the iPod! Get the freaking thing!
2. iPod nano The new iPod nano is pretty odd. Why? One word, Touchscreen and its tiny.  It is extremely tiny and it has multitouch but you will never ever use it because it is so small that fit more than one finger on it. They also got rid of the camera (I was never really a fan of it because my finger always got in the way). It basically just migrated to the iPod touch.
3. iPod shuffle There is a new feature, buttons, Apple's page for it even says "Features: Buttons, VoiceOver". I saw that and laughed my face off. I wonder what they were thinking when they did that?


2. Ping Apple made a social network and immediately succeded. Ping has been around for a week and has over 1 million users. It was brought to us during the latest update along with a new icon. I will delve into this more later but from what i can tell you can share musical interests and connect with bands in a facebook-esque fashion. Apparently there is a bad bit of spam as well, this will go away soon,  Jobs likes to keep things tidy.
3. iOS 4.1 and 4.2  iOS updates have been annoyingly lacking recently these new updates will bring multitasking to the iPod touch and iPad platforms. Multitasking, need i say more. You can finally have your digital cake and play Plants vs Zombies too. 

Apple did a good lot of things recently but there will always be something amiss with Apple (buttons, multitasking, folders etc.) Follow me on twitter for updates on Apple.
