On the first day of school to CEO Steve Jobs, not only for music lovers prepared remarks, which introduced the new models Favorites iPod media players. There was also refresh the now four years old (original) model, Apple TV and some news on progress with the development of new versions iOS4. In the near future we expect iOS4.1 at the end of November will see the iOS4.2
The presentation came to see us and Steve Wozniak. Jobs, you could not help noticing, however, after greeting plunged into numbers (let's leave that for later). He mentioned the new Apple Retail Store, whose total number was increased to 300 stores in the current 10 countries. That is a really beautiful building as you can see HERE .
Phone, Tablet, player and TV
a moment now to dive into the devices themselves. Apple each year sees a new generation and this season, of course, could not break the tradition. Which toys that are they?
first and cheapest is the iPod shuffle. The last generation lacked a classic tactile buttons, in addition to users not too fond of controls on the headphones, so why Apple decided to accommodate users with hardware buttons, and dutifully returned. The second line is the iPod nano - the lost featurky some of the older generation, for the sole purpose of: miniaturization. Then came new generation of hardware buttons and is controlled primarily through the tiny touch screen. It is a square with a diagonal of 1.5 "and a resolution of 240x240px. Place the camera on the back we got a clip for easy attachment eg clothing or a watch bracelet. Though my new iPod nano like a watch hand liked, compared to the older generation Nano for me ceased to be interesting. Finally, the flagship of a whole series of iPod - the iPod touch.
iPod touch is known primarily as an iPhone without the "Foundation,". This year's model is no exception, and say so without delay, except that the GPS module and GSM/3G iPod touch thinner and cheaper iPhone, from which the call just by FaceTime via WiFi. This brings me to the first significant fact, and this fact the iPod touch now got a front camera for video calls and back for shooting HD video, which can be just as IP4 relatively decent work directly on the device. The substantive features missing Apple chip A4, 3-axis gyroscope, or a new, very fine display retina. As I said, Apple has also worked on the design - as opposed to touch IP4 is rounded and very thin.
iOS4.x - depending on numbers
This revolutionary system has already driven over 120 million sold equipment and that every day is activated by another 230,000. It is quite a respectable number of the first IOS device the iPhone in 2007. But what makes this successful platform is (besides its simplicity) and the availability of almost all kinds of applications. Those are the App Store just over 250,000 and total them pulled around 6.5 billion "units" (about 200 applications per second).
newly listed iOS4.1 version fixes minor bugs in addition to (BT, Proximity Sensor) and the miserable performance of the iPhone 3G delivers another pleasant featurky. Option to upload HD videos on YouTube over WiFi will be useful, but loans online serials in our republic is the only music of the future (probably very distant future). Game Center is essentially a social gaming network that helps bring together friends, looking for opponents to play, match results etc. Most of it probably felled by developers to take advantage of social ties as a sales strategy. The new feature especially for ordinary mortals is a function of the HDR photos. Put up a new camera feature, which on the basis of three photos with different exposure to adjust the final image to an optimal outcome. You will avoid having to přepáleným photos and edit them later on your computer. Excellent function not only for laymen, but also for people who do not want to worry about anything, and after taking pictures automatically have a nice photo.
iOS4.2 The next version of all these gadgets we use also the iPad, moreover, as we see the possibility of wirelessly print directly from the case, declared the wireless printer or new features AirPlay.
Finally we come to a very successful product, Apple TV. It is not right for the wrong product, users like it, only to be met with such a massive expansion such as iPods. The first and only version on the market since 2006 and now Jobs introduced us to the second and more interesting version. First, the price dropped to an incredible 99 USD, second, even more simplified the. The black color to better match the rest of the HDTV, the size of the quarter and cables is low. The source is built, you can connect power cord and HDMI (optional optical audio outlet), and unless you have a WiFi network, and Ethernet. Inside the new Apple TV you do not find hard drive, all the deals online or streamed from a home network. Thanks to the aforementioned function Airplay (formerly known as AirTunes) can now stream music, in addition to photographs and videos using Apple TV to your HD television.
With the new Apple TV also comes a new model for paying for content. Everything has now been addressed and, therefore, an online movie and TV series to buy, but on loan. It is also mainly due to lower prices, plus buy two episodes of favorite series, and then wear it somewhere in memory, the iPhone is no longer nearly as convenient as the episode for $ 1 rent and watch it on the iPad or at home on Apple TV (Apple TV no longer has the HDD ). Unfortunately, for countries that do not support the iTunes Store (CR) is the Apple TV is total useless. While the price has dropped, $ 99 for us will mean the (estimated) 5-6 thousand. And that's a lot of devices that can be used only as a receiver, from a network stream.
Facebook Twitter and now Ping
unnoticed or new version of iTunes in 1910, which is nowhere near as groundbreaking as expected. Discussed the change is ultimately the new logo and new iTunes music and social networking PING. It is still in development and therefore a more detailed article about hiding it for later. Does it make sense now start the new social network when FB and Twitter completely overshadow her own? Google will not end like the Wave? Well, the answer yourself, my answer is yes, the It makes sense. And why? Because behind it Apple! I'll be looking forward for another article about Apple PING.
