Looks like the AppleTV is getting some attention after being ignored during the Music event Apple just hosted. Apple has done away with the 40Gig AppleTV and slashed the price of the 160Gig Model to US$229. Perhaps they are clearing inventory in preparation for a new AppleTV? It seams lately all other Apple Products have been getting all the love maybe we can look forward to a revision of the AppleTV.
Whatever apple ends up doing one thing is for sure they need a Software update, even if its only to add support for the new iTunes LP format. It would be nice to be able to browse all that new content on my Big Screen.
I know of several people that don’t understand the AppleTV but I love mine, what are your thoughts on apples Media device?

If you wonder what this little icon in iTunes 8 is, its the Genius button. according to Apple Genius is:
a brilliant way to create perfect playlists. Play a song, click the Genius button, and iTunes creates a playlist of other songs from your library that go great together. Genius playlists help you discover songs in your library you never knew you had — and rediscover forgotten favorites.
So far I’m failry happy with it, although from time to time its fumbled a bit, tossing a loan country song into a mix of Disturbed and Metallica. How do you use this little gem you might ask… EASY when listening to any song in iTunes you’ll see the Genius icon in the lower right portion of the iTunes window click it and WHAM! iTunes will create you a 25 song playlist (yes you can adjust this after your Genius playlist is created at the top of the windows you can select a 25, 50, 75 or 100 song playlist for Genius to create, I have mine set to create a 50 song list.
What are your experiences with Genius?

Yes I know I’m late, works been keeping me from writing, but I really wanted to voice some of my thoughts on some new Apple toys. Specifically the new iPod nanos, I really like the new colors but the storage options makes me cry.
I really wish they offered the iPod classic in as many colors ans the new iPod nano,
I’d love to rock a nice blue iPod with 120 gigs of storage. my Music collection has already surpassed the 16 gig limitations of the iPod nano.
If you read my last post you know I just recently bought my self a bran new car. and the stereo in the car has the ability to connect an iPod to it, if I’m going to look into buying a new iPod I really want the ability to bring my entire music collection along, I have an older (5th gen) 30gig iPod I used right now. its been sitting in my closet for the past 6 months or so due to a cracked screen which is why I want to replace it. Not that its that big of a deal, my car offers me the ability to control the iPod from the deck so I don’t even need to use the screen anymore.
What are your thoughts on the new iPods? Like em? love em? let us know!
