Welcome to Eple Sauce and welcome to our first post. A mini review on the announcements at Macworld. We won't go over everything, just the things we think had the largest impact. First Let's go over the iPod Touch update. Not all things were great for the kiddies on stevenote day. It seems that for iPod Touch owners there comes a fee to update to all of the same features that come standard with the iPhone. A $19.99 charge for the update is the cost, oh and did I mention it comes standard with all new iPod Touch's. Very Microsoftesque Steve.
Moving on, it seems some of the best things in life are actually free. Making up for their stingy iPod touch move, comes great updates to both the iPhone and the Apple TV. Although nothing really surprised with the iPhone update, it was nice to legitimately see it released.
That was freebie number 1, freebie number 2 comes in the form of an Apple TV update. The ability to download directly to the "TV" will appease many, and the option to rent from iTunes should appease the rest. Oh and did I mention HD movies now available. Finally you can put the HDMI and component inputs on the back of your Apple TV to good use. It was very nice to get something for free on stevenote day. Something's in life are free but the best thing's hardly ever are. That's what we will focus on next time, a small toy with a large impact...Macbook something!
