Yesterday I mentioned few things that I thought would not really work that they introduced in Keynotes. They also bought few things that are more than welcome and I think that they are going to work great for Apple.

iTunes 10

First there was iTunes 10. Some people might think that it’s not really a big change and it can’t be that good cause it’s free. WRONG! This did bring few very welcome changes to the existing software. If someone is afraid that iTunes is just a really heavy player compared to something like WinAmp, they should try running it on a MAC. Few things that made this great were. First with iTunes:

  • New image. Yes iTunes finally removed the CD from their image and the new image gives it a little more sophisticated feel.
  • Ping. This is what Steve Jobs advertised as a Facebook for music. I don’t have a ton of friends who use iTunes, but this is one thing that could get more people using it. Nice idea and very welcome to iTunes. I’m still going to continue being a Spotify junkie, but a plus to Apple anyway. I was just surfing around and I found this http://tcrn.ch/duhxgK. It’s an article on what’s wrong with Ping. Many things on it I have to agree on.
  • A little more elegant look. It does look a lot like the old iTunes, but the little changes make it stand out. Very good choice.

That was the good changes with the iTunes. There were also some good changes with iOS. iOS has become a very important part of Apples system and that is a fact that no one can deny. Even though I’m not a great fan of this system cause it does not give full control to the user, but millions use it and they said that it has gone past PSP and Nintendo DS in gaming. Game Centre is a new feature that will let you play with your friends or with strangers with device wirelessly. It did not sound that great at first, but it does make gaming a little more social and that little more fun. I expect that this will be one of Apples greatest releases now.
So despite all my crying for the fact that iPods were not as great as I would have hoped for, Apple did bring some really interesting stuff out in their keynotes. This post was made just to show that the keynotes didn’t suck as bad that I made it sound yesterday.
