Maxis iPhone 3G Launch Update..

Back at home now.. what an interesting day..

The launch was great.. awesome performance by the artiste .. i forgot the violinist's name.. she's good..

the crowd was interesting.. from people who knows it all.. to people who don't know anything about the iPhone.. Aunties who want to know what is Facebook and Twitter .... A kid who got the iPhone 3G because his 1st Gen ended up in a bucket of water (and a technician said that if it were to be turned on , it'll blow up.. ahaks..) .. Uncles who pre-booked without knowing what is an iPhone.. Boyfriends who got it for their girlfriends.. someone thought that the iPhone is a Garmin with phone function..

iPhone.. is definitely a must get item for anyone.. because EVERYONE can use it..

New iPod Shuffle - not only it's small , it talks to you!!!




Introducing VoiceOver.
Musically speaking, the new iPod shuffle is brilliant, thanks to an exciting new feature called VoiceOver. Say you’re listening to a song and want to know the title or the artist. With the press of a button, VoiceOver tells you as the music dips down. It even announces the names of your playlists. And when your battery needs charging, VoiceOver tells you that, too.

* it's cool.. but quite redundant .. i mean , for the shuffle , i would think that you'll only put songs that you know into it.. but....

Multi-music-lingual.
A French love song. A Spanish bolero. An Italian cantata. Your music library has songs from all over the world. That’s why VoiceOver speaks 14 different languages. So it can tell you song titles and artists in the correct languages.

* this is cool... but still redundant..

Multiple playlists.
You’ve probably made multiple playlists in iTunes. One for your commute. One for the gym. One for just chilling out. With the new iPod shuffle, you can sync your playlists and always find the perfect mix for your activity or mood. VoiceOver tells you the name of each playlist, so it’s easy to switch between them and find the one you want without looking.

* not sure how you're gonna choose the playlist on the Shuffle..

Easy access controls.
The controls of the new iPod shuffle are located on the right earbud cord. With command central now strategically placed in this more convenient location, you can navigate your music — and activate the VoiceOver feature — without taking your eyes off your run, your ride, or whatever you’re doing.

*looks like you're stuck with Apple's earphones till 3rd party ones are available..


Love it or hate it , the design rocks... features-wise , need some time to get used to.. for a 4GB mp3 player that looks bloody cool .. for less than RM 300 (USD 79) .... i would say .. good job Apple!!!
