My ipod was delivered today and I have iTunes running on both my home and work computers. I just discovered that I can only sync with one iTunes. That stinks. I will have to figure out if there is a way around this. I have been downloading podcasts like crazy for the past couple of hours. There are still over 110 episodes from various podcasts that I am downloading. Then I’ll sync them to the iPod. There is so much I have to learn about this program. I am very excited to give my new iPod a test drive. And I am very satisfied with how the dock that is built into my new monitor is working out. That Viewsonic VX2245 is fantastic!

Apple iPhone
This is coming out for Cingular around June. Announced today is Apple’s new iPhone and I am truly impressed. This thing is fantastic. Yes, I have been a staunch PC person for years and have balked at many things Apple (even though our first computer for the family was an Apple IIC and I loved it.) The announcement today of the iPhone is just an awesome revolutionary bit of technology.
Here are the features.
Phone – Easy Merging of calls.
Voicemail – Visual Voicemail, choose which voicemail to listen to first, just like e-mail.
SMS – Predictive soft keyboard that helps prevent mistakes.
Photos – 2 megapixel camera with a 3.5″ screen, sweet. Can also sync with photos on your MAC or PC
Internet – Web browsing with safari.
E-mail – Rich e-mail client that can display text and graphics.
Google Maps – Built right in.
Widgets – stock reports and weather among other things.
Multi-touch – a high functioning touch screen interface.
Intelligent keyboard – QUERTY keyboard, more efficient that plastic keyboards on other smart phones.
OS X – Yes, it runs OS X.
Wi-Fi – uses Wi-Fi and Cingular’s edge network for internet access.
Sensors – Sensors switch display from portrait to landscape depending upon how the device is positioned.
Music – Scroll through album covers.
Video – View video from iTunes (There is one of the funniest clips from The Office on the website.) 3.5″ screen.
Storage – 4GB or 8GB like an iPod Nano.
Even the Webcomics have gotten into the iPhone thing. I knew Scott Kurtz would jump on this. Great Ferris Bueller hoamge too.
