iPod, iTunes and Apple
Apparently hell has frozen over and Apple is writing software for Windows. iTunes is now available for Windows. If you buy music online, and you think all the other online stores suck, well it is time for you to check out iTunes Music Store.
Some new features in the latest version of iTunes include: the ability to import a CD so that when you listen to it in an iPod there are no gaps between the songs; the ability to copy a link to the music store. Those two are enough to get me to upgrade.
The iTMS also has some improvements: playlists of the stars; gift certificates; allowance. They've also added the Dead and some Stones. Overall a very good upgrade.
For the iPod, Apple has introduced some third party hardware that has long been overdue. The new Belkin microphone and card reader might be reason enough for me to sell my old iPod and buy a new one.
The card reader is especially cool as it allows you to dump pictures from your flash memory cards into the iPod so you can reuse them. I think that if past rumors about a color screen iPod coming out in January are true, then this picture feature will be much used.
