iPhone OS3.0 Podcast Update
by Lee on Jun.17, 2009, under Technology
I’ve just upgraded my iPod touch to the iPhone OS 3.0 software at the unfortunate cost of £6.
The main thing I’m waiting for is push notifications for applications – in particular for the Remember The Milk Application.
As a podcast listener, I have noticed a nice small update which seems to have been missed so far. When listening to a podcast, there are 3 new buttons available:
- an email this podcast – to send a link to the podcast
- a ‘Rewind 30 seconds’ button – incredibly useful if you missed the last bit due to an interruption
- A speed adjust button. I personally, wouldn’t make use of it, but I know a lot of people like listening to things at double speed (especially with audiobooks)
Now I just need to wait for the application updates…

by Lee on Apr.07, 2009, under Technology
Just a heads up to everyone that Apple started introducing variable pricing in the iTunes store today.
I’ve just had a brief look and whilst most things still seem to be at 79p, there are some tracks thathave now gone up to 99p (especially within the top 10 lists it seems). I haven’t found any tracks at 59p yet though.
On the plus side, everything is now iTunes Plus.

This video made the rounds quite quickly on the web, but I found it pretty funny so thought I’d share it on here too.
The main thing about this video is that there are quite a few bits of it that are true – especially regarding people buying anything new Apple releases!
