That's why you just use handbrake to convert them to iTunes compatible MP4s. That way they'll run on anything from an iPod to an iPhone/Touch. You can even convert them to the .m4v container Apple likes.

yup, plus if you shrink it to 7" you can pretend it's a quasi-retina display or whatever

I think they'll keep the larger format for people who want it and give it a slight refresh, but the iPad 2 focus is gonna be on the 7"

Chris Martin just ethered Apple completely before launching into Viva La Vida

i'll be completely honest, i am sort of regretting my purchase

it was a lot of money and took forever to save up for it, and even though it's been out nearly five months it still doesn't even have the same capabilities as my ipod touch from 2009 had

it's a great browser/netflix mini streamer/comic reader, but the lack of ram really shows in a lot of areas, and the weird way they handle file transfer irks me to no end

i don't really care about cameras and such on it, but i'm sure they knew iphone and ipod touch were getting 512mb RAM and a gyroscope and they still left both out of the first gen ipad - the gyroscope, whatever, but it could really use that 512mb

That new nano is ridiculous.

I love(d) my nano because I use it for my workout and I was hoping (or maybe even expecting) Apple to release a 32GB model but instead we get this?  A shuffle with a unnecessary touch screen?  Fuck that. I really hate using a touch for my mp3 player and I'm not going to go back to it ever again.

I think I'll just go out and get a classic while they're still available.

i'll be completely honest, i am sort of regretting my purchase

it was a lot of money and took forever to save up for it, and even though it's been out nearly five months it still doesn't even have the same capabilities as my ipod touch from 2009 had

it's a great browser/netflix mini streamer/comic reader, but the lack of ram really shows in a lot of areas, and the weird way they handle file transfer irks me to no end

Dude I would be glad to take it off your hands for you, not only because I really want one but your whining incessantly about it is making my dick soooo soft.

Meh conference.  I got an iPhone 4, so the Touches are merely gimped versions of the 4, weaker camera and TN screen as opposed to the IPS panel of the iPhone 4.  I really wanted more from the Apple TV, such running a proper iOS with access to the App store and compatibility with the new track pad.
Title: Re: Apple Conference 4: Now with free case!
Post by: Rman on September 02, 2010, 04:28:48 PM
Engadget mentioned the viewing angles weren't as good as the iPhone 4s.  Many are guessing it's not an IPS panel based on hands on comparisons.  Unlike the iPhones, which is heavily subsidized by the telecos, Apple needs to make a profit with the Touches, so cheaper components are necessary.

Apple has also been touting IPS screens--iPad, iMacs, Apple Displays, and iPhones, but this was missing in their marketing materials for the new Touches.

That's a big letdown since the iPhone 4 has the greatest screen in the entire portable consumer market. Would've loved to see that transfer over to their iPod Touch line.
The resolution is the still same, though.  Retina Display and all.  Viewing angles should not be such a big problem since it's a very personal device.

Android > WebOS > iOS >>>>>>> Windows 7 mobile (from what I've seen, lol, I'd never bother even trying it tbh)

Chrome > Midori > Safari

etc etc essentially there's better alternatives for most of Apples software imo.

:piss iTunes :piss2

I love OSX and Macbooks, but  iOS and Apples regular consumer level software I've found pretty underwhelming so far, Final Cut Pro is great though (hear Logic is too) and iPad is appealing to me but I don't buy 1st gen Apple products and by the sounds of it, it has iOS4 problems.

HD media players are dead.  Mostly for two reasons: Flash memory is getting cheaper--the high end is still pricey, however, and it has no moving parts, so flash based players are sturdier than HD based ones.  Movement and hard drives are not a good combination.
