Apple hopefully will release some new products this week.

Apple released a new iPhone 3GS recently and although I have bought every new iPhone on the release date, this time around they didn’t allow for me to get the updated pricing until 12/12/09.
The newest iPhone adds a few features that the older 3G doesn’t have.
Few of the new features include video recording, voice control, better 3MP camera with tap to focus, built in compass, and a faster processor.
Since I didn’t upgrade and have had my current iPhone for over 1 year, I decided to Jailbreak my 3.0 firmware using RedSnow.
After Jailbreaking my iPhone I now have Video recording and a few features that I really like.  For example I can now tell if I have received mail without unlocking the phone.  Also I was able to add five icons to the bottom dock.  Stuff like that really makes using the phone much better in my opinion.
I have yet to decide if I want to get the 3GS when December 12th rolls around since they probably will release another version next summer.
Apple promised MMS with 3.0 firmware update, but they haven’t rolled it out and now they announced it will be ready September 25th.  2 years late, but better late than never.

Apple had a Let’s Rock event this week and announced some new products and iTunes 8.
iTunes 8 mainly added a Genius feature which is a revamp of the mini store.  Whats interesting is it can create playlists on the fly by selecting a song and choosing Genius playlist.  It will pull songs from your library that go with that one particular song.  It’s a pretty cool feature for making mixes.

These are the new nanos and the colors they come in.  Very bright colors that can stop traffic in case you are listening to your iPod too loud and stumble into oncoming traffic.
They include a accelerometer like the iPhone and iPod Touch and have games based off it also.
It has a new shake to shuffle feature which is sure to make a few Nanos fly across the living room.

The new iPod Touch with 2.1.1 software.  I have held and tested one of these and it is really thin now.  It has a built in speaker and volume control buttons now.  Something that the first one really should of included.  The speaker isn’t as loud and clear as the iPhone 3G’s but still good enough to hear what’s going on in a general enviroment.
What is also interesting is they include a built in Nike+ sensor that works with a Nike+ shoe insert that can track your running workout.

The new iPhone 2.1 Software Update.  Update includes:

Slow Stick Canon Camera Mount

I made mount for my Slow Stick to hold my Canon SD1100 IS camera for Aerial Photography.
I used a HS-81 servo with fish airline tubing to press the shutter button.
I haven’t tested it yet, but when I do, I’ll be sure to upload the Aerial Photos to my Flickr.

Check out the new bottles from Poland Spring.  They are more environmentally friendly.  They are thinner and made of 30% less plastic.

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving.  Also hopefully you got some good shopping deals on Black Friday.

Thanks everyone for wishing me a happy birthday!
