New Zune

Well, I don’t know who agrees with me, but I think the new Zune actually looks pretty good. Nice new interface, podcasts, really nice new software look… My favorite is the wireless syncing. The big problem I have with this is the fact that it still isn’t compatible with Mac. Like, come on Microsoft. If you want more customers, at least change the software code a little bit…
Anyway, I’m sure there will be a hack for that (don’t tell me to use Parallels) so I can sync the Zune with iTunes. Until then, I am sticking with the iPod. They better have it for Mac by Christmas!

Sorry there hasn’t been a post lately… China has stuffed something up and I can’t post through the firewall. I managed to find a proxy

The Rumors Were Right!

Well, looks like the rumors were right. The new iPod Touch has now been unveiled. Basically looks and works exactly like the iPhone. But more space in the more expensive version (8GB for the cheaper one and 16GB for the more expensive one). I personally HAVE TO HAVE THIS! But that’s just me.  But another cool feature for it is the new Wi-Fi music store.  So now you can download music from your iPod.  I think this is what many people wanted in the first place.  A way to download music from the music store without having to use a computer.  Great job Apple (and yes, as you may have figured out, I’m an Apple fan boy (most of the time )).  There’s also another cool wi-fi feature.  Apple is continuing to work with Starbucks.  So say your in Starbucks, and you hear a song you like.  Go to the wi-fi music store and then it will tell you what has been and is playing at Starbucks.  So now you don’t need to find the name!They have also changed the look of all the other ipods. You should be able to see here!  The 16GB version will be going for  $399.00US and the 8GB for $299.00US.  Pretty good deal I think.  But only because it is around the same amount for an old iPod video.  I think it replaces the lack of capacity with features.

Pownce on File Sharing

There is a new web site at www.pownce.com which sort of mixes file sharing and social networking. You connect up with friends and you can have fans too. When you get your list of friends, you can send files to them and post bulletins and all this other stuff.  It’s good for small files like photos and things.  Basically the stuff you would send over MSN Messenger or maybe a file a bit bigger than that.I find this a great web site and even if you want to you can get their desktop application so you can post bulletins and send files from the desktop without having to go to the site.  The program has all of the functionality that the web site does.  I recommend this web site purely for the fact that it is neat, works well and easy to use. 

Safari 3.0.2 beta and msn messenger

Alright, so I upgraded to the Safari 3.0.2 beta (this is on OS X) and the msn messenger crashes are still happening. I hope apple fixes this before they release the next version of Safari. I use firefox instead now. Until apple fixes the problem.

Just updating everyone.
