Look familiar or should I say similiar [iPhone]? It’s the new user interrface for Nexus One, aka Google Phone, store pages. These confirm that “Google will sell it unlocked and unsubsidized for $530, and that Google will sell it by themselves.” Like most smartphones you’ll have to sign a 2-year contract with T-Mobile to get it for $180.

Apple to Buy LaLa.com
| December 14, 2009 | Posted by Alyssa Duval under Apple, iPhone, iPod, Tech News |
It has been reported that Apple is buying the website LaLa.com. LaLa is a site devoted to streaming and downloading music. This is a move that would help flesh out Apple’s music division, but whether it is a good move for the company is yet to be seen.
LaLa currently charges about 89 cents to download a song, or just 10 cents for a streaming only version. An entire album can be streamed for a dollar. Apple admits that the company isn’t expected to be especially profitable in the beginning, but stresses that the purchase was made to get the “brains” behind LaLa more so than the website itself.
In the meantime, they face some stiff competition from the likes of Pandora, Grooveshark, and Rhapsody, just to name a few.
Apple TV 3.0 released: iTunes Extras
| October 29, 2009 | Posted by Alyssa Duval under Apple, Electronics, iPhone, iPod, Tech News |
As predicted earlier today, Apple have pushed out their latest firmware for the Apple TV. Version 3.0 brings with it a newly redesigned GUI, along with compatibility with iTunes Extras and iTunes LP as introduced in iTunes 9. There’s also support for Genius Mixes and internet radio playback, and the whole set-top box experience is apparently smoother and quicker.Apple’s reworked menus for the Apple TV now put recently rented or purchased movies, TV shows, music, podcasts, photos and YouTube at the top level. There’s also now support for iPhoto Events and iPhoto Faces, while internet radio stations can be browsed and saved to favorites.
The update is available now, free of charge, and it’s likely your Apple TV unit will pop up a download option to let you know. One word of caution: it’s unclear what Apple TV 3.0 might do to Boxee and other hacks, so it’s probably worth holding off on the upgrade if you’ve modified your box.
iTunes 9
| September 13, 2009 | Posted by Alyssa Duval under Apple, Social Networking |
iTunes, Apples music store, is a great way to download music to your iPod or just for your pleasure. iTunes has required an update for awhile. Although iTunes has received minor upgrades. In the new iTunes 9 the status bar has been “polished” and given a 21st century look. The new Genius feature has also been redefined. It offers suggested playlists with their album covers. Genius has also been added to the AppStore to help you pick out of thousands of apps.
iTunes remains to be lagging and a little slow, but Apple has taken a necessary step to keep iTunes at the top. Another feature on the new iTunes 9 is application rearranging. On your iPod Touch have you ever felt that it’s a little aggravating to move your apps directly on the iPod. Well now you can do it on your computer. Overall iTunes 9 is “better”, but not perfect. Keep going Apple, hopefully in the future the “slowness” problem will be solved.
