And oh it's. C y fast coming next week i o s updates coming next week and steve jobs is back on the scene. It's thursday march third two thousand one eleven i need can re- and this is is news from mac o. s. can. Brought to you by yours truly and supported by listeners like you subscribers to mac o. s. can they six more information is available at mac o. s. canned dot com. The shows also supported by the mac o. s. can pod cast out for the i've on an i pod taj available in the outdoor now for two dollars and ninety nine cents. What're frustrating more next not because of what was said it because of how we had to hear about it the last few apple events we haven't known the night before whether apple was going to stream the proceedings. But they have so i went to bed on tuesday night wednesday morning fairly certain that i'd be able to watch but i assume would be the tim cook still she'll there's got forced all show as it happened. We got no live street at least know publicize live strange but we also got no tim cooking fill ciller show. Forced always there and was apple c o steve jobs at the year but when a center for the arts wednesday morning to introduce i bad too and he had much to say. Unless otherwise stated i'll drop from what i've seen of the event what i found one apple site an apples own press releases. Summing up what was that what people got wrong and their expectations for the march second abound as they longest list things about which we heard rumors but did not c from the stage. No social network after saying no joint venture announcement no live stream which was totally week. No changes announcer mobile me no mention or preview a bio s five no mention of the north carolina data center notes under bold brite pad too and know as d cards lot fried bad too. Built in that is though i assume whatever accessories used to work for that for the i bad will work for i bad too what people got right is a shorter list but cooler because. It's double actually get or stuff we could actually a get if we wanted it and had the scratch. For steve jobs. Well you can't get steve jobs but he was there yeah i bad to was introduced thing the today um it's thirty three percent centers in the first jen hyatt bad in fact it's dinner then i phone for. Later than the first john i bad down from one point five pounds to one point three cameras both before and asked b g a on the screen side seven twenty p. h. d. on the backside colors to a bomb black and white. And jobs as they'll ship both colors from day one. Well see bull core architecture powered by the apple designed eight five apple says that that lets the new i bad do twice the work at once multi tasking is smoother i've slowed faster and everything just works better. According to apple and yet to enter later and what's more processing power apple says i bad to retains it's ten our battery life. Think about cities sixteen thirty two and sixty four get goodbye same prices for ninety nine five ninety nine and six ninety nine for the minus three g. six twenty nine seven twenty nine and eight twenty nine for the plus three g.. So you'll need to know who's three g. you'll want to you as here in the states there will be separate versions for varieties and and a t and t additionally a piece from get good homes the apple bog says seems seems to go for canada. They're peace points to a place on apples canadian side it says if you decide in a night bad with why five plus three g. be sure to select the model to correspond with the carrier you'd like to use for three g. service. Yeah i bad model you purchase especially configured to work with either bell rogers or tell us. So well you don't have to activate three g. servers right away you should she was your eyes bad what y- five plus three g. according to the carrier you prefer. That's kind of a let down but the first night bad switching carriers in canada was simple it switching out the micro send cards and all three carriers use the same blessed g. s. m. standard. No word of any countries besides the u s and canada having to decide on a potential three g. carrier but for making their purchase. Even in countries where there are multiple options i bad to a shipping in the u. s. on march eleventh kind of in line with these sooner than later rumors we'd started to hear leading up to the event. That on march twenty fifth the plan is to ship the device to australia austria belgium canada czech republic denmark finland friends germany grease hungry iceland ireland italy japan luxembourg mexico. Netherlands new zealand norway pull in portugal spain sweden switzerland and the u a case then on the other places on the planet at a later date or dates. The company announced to accessories at the your but when a center an h. t. m. i. out connector called the apple digital a b adapter apple says it works with all out for. Which i guess prompt whether or not developer wants to do video out by air play which is coming in iowa sport dot three which is also coming next week. Which i'll tell you more about an a bit like an actor has a pass through for power as well so you can do video out and power up the i bad at the same time. Mac daily news says thirty nine dollar delay mirrors exactly what a user sees on i pad too so that anyone who can see your t b video projector or other h. t. m. i. compatible display. Can see what's on your right that do screen or on the first gen hype bad and i phone for or a fourth jen i died taj whichever one's connected. Then it was the smart cover apples case right that that's not a case. At the cover and the smart one apparently it uses magnet do oughta well line it's under side helps clean the i've found glass when it's on smart cover wakes i bad when you open it and puts i tend to sleep when you close it. Which does make it sound fairly smart thirty nine dollars for the ones made out of the material the astronauts where. That would be polyurethane sixty nine dollars for the ones made out of the material the cows where. That'd be leather. Five colors for each have fun. Not mention from the stage though apparently announced later. I bad doc for i bad too. I lounge it says the twenty nine dollar accessory included thirty then done connector port for charging and thinking the eye pad as well as for connecting other accessories it also has a many line out board for connecting to powered speakers. I said scott forced all had a part to play in the show he showed off iowa sport dot three. Featuring significantly improved safari performance i tuned home sharing letting users play content that lives on the computer to or through i o s devices. Air play improvements including the ability to stream video from third party abs and websites. Videos from the photos ab- and previews from the i tunes out to an apple t b or other airplane able devices. And we do get the lock orientation back on the i ain't bad with this later on the side acting as either um you or a screen lock. That's the users choice. Personal hot spots coming to all i phone borders including a t and t is more on that and a bit apple says the personal hotspots feature let's user sharon i phone boards cellular data connection without the five devices at once. And photo boot this coming. For i bad too and it's cool new eight five processor that's part of iowa sport dot three. Four dot three will hit on march eleventh for i e pat i phone three g. s. the g. s. m. i a phone for and the third and fourth jen i pod touches and of course it'll ship on i bad too. What's missing from that list abrasion i phone and apple t. v. but that's usually updated separately rise and i found new. And we start to see how that'll go apple insider's as the braves night bonus being updated separately because it uses a different based band ship in the g. s. m. phones which means it needs a whole firm aware of it's own. No word on when the four dot three update will be out for the big red communicator. One more thing jobs set a couple of times and one more thing could have actually been on the what's wrong or what's missing list there was no one more thing but. That's not the one more thing of which i was speaking. One other thing jobs at a couple of times he referred to the i pad maybe tablets in general but definitely the i a bad as opposed to p c device. Seen that has jobs saying it's an apple d. n. a. the technology alone is not enough it's technology married with liberal arts humanities ah you'll does the result that makes our hard thing and know where is that more true. And in the east coast p c devices mac world has jobs saying a lot of folks in the tablet marked we're looking at this as the next p c hardware and software done by different companies and they're talking about speeds and feeds. Just as they did with p c's apples experience has that that's not the right approach. These are post p c devices that need to be more into it up. Post b. c. not p. c. plus not p c lights well apple is on one hand taking us back to the mac jobs is talking about. He's not saying p c plus or plus b. c. he's saying post p c. It's interesting. People say the i that is they contents consumption device another content creation device new apps brite pad i movie in garage band. I'm given to understand the garage band will work on all i pads old the new it'll run buyers four dollars and ninety nine cents i will be on the other hand will apparently be and i bad to only up there. And it too well run buyers four dollars and ninety nine cents and i liked what john said about the new i have to. He said something to the effect of apple likes to do abs because developers then see those and say. I can do better. I'm not sure i believe that's why they do them but it isn't i sent it to developers developers developers developers developers. Developers developers divide i can't do it. There were also the usual pep rally numbers highlighted by abuse and fortune one hundred million i books downloaded so far roughly twenty five hundred publishers on i bookstore. Seventeen thousand books being added by random house which did join the i bookstore officially on wednesday. Two hundred million i tunes accounts on file with credit card numbers. And there there would wasn't mentioned as such there's a resounding answer to publishers bombed about the iowa subscriptions drive. Two hundred million people who could be just one click away from giving you money every month maybe less than you get if you found them on your own but. How easily can you reach two hundred million people on your own apple is paid two billion dollars do abs door developers to this point the company recently ship the one hundred millions i e phone. This'll nearly fifteen million i pads in two thousand ten generating nine point five billion dollars and revenue they're more than three hundred fifty thousand abs and apples abs two or. Sixty five thousand either built specifically for i better optimize for the i bad i phone and i pod taj. Jobs as he figures that contrast with one hundred that's built specifically from google funny calmer version of and relied optimize for tablets he also says he thinks they might be being generous with that one hundred number. No that's not necessarily if there isn't it is wait early and honey comes life cycle. Speaking of not being fair remember last month when it seemed that sam songs c. e. o. it made a stunning admission about slow sales of the sam son galaxy time. There was a clothing add sam sons leave you and he is saying that galaxy tab sales work quite small. So the company later said the c. e. o. had been ms quoted or misunderstood sam's on said what lee young he had actually said was that sales had gone quite mu. Well the sam's one exactly been ms quoted again and gadget says before unveiling the i'd bad too jobs use the old quote saying that sam son had said. As you heard hours selling was quite aggressive around two million units in terms of sell out we believe it was quite small. Not the amended quite movie like i say hardly seems there. Michael it's kinda listeners a spot had an interesting observation after the event we can in his opinion dispense with the docking bay third version of the i bad this fall. Since job set at the end of the event that twenty eleven will be the year of i bad too. Unless of course he meant the school year twenty eleven probably says fonts right though. What did wallstreet types think of the apple events at least three seem to please apple insider has r b c capital analyst mike a brown ski morgan stanley analyst katie here pretty and j. p. morgan analyst mark moscow it's each wearing and wednesday afternoon. All told that there thirty six stone. Who loves you england r b c's a prompt you says that then or later i bad and it's new smart covers show the design and the base an apple needs to keep it's lead and the tablet space he thought jobs doing the deliberate was a welcome surprised the event. Quoting his notes i bad to raises the bar and to stains pressure on competitors and continues to target media center template consumers seeking a premium experience. The people who already wanted men drug tablet well probably still once and enjoyed tablet. Despite the announced improvements morgan stanley's katie here where do you call the i bad to an important evolutionary step in the products short history. One she says will probably white and apples lead and the tablet space by building on the devices overall system ecosystem and pricing advantage. She also like so smart covers and the earlier than expected march eleven shipped it and finally j. p. morgan smart must go it's says his firms forecast of the sixty eight percent share of the tablet space for apple in twenty eleven. Maybe conservative after yesterday's announcements. He likes it apple is already on it second tablet just the competition is rolling out or pro typing their first generation tablets. He also sees i've like i movie garage band and faced time as reasons younger consumers will choose i bad. And finally he says changes to the i bet itself are more than good enough especially where would be i died killers seem to come with higher price points or clumsy or form factors n technical specs. Then does the eye pad. Well the iowa sport out three releases over a week away the associated i tunes update is already found its way to release apple insider says the cupertino company yesterday released i tunes ten dot two. Giving people the ability to sync there i phones i pads or i bought touches running i o s four dot three. Which they'll get through i tunes which makes the whole thing seems kinda creepy the peace as the update also offers improved home sharing but again. You won't notice that until you're running a device running i o s four dot three i mentioned earlier that a t and t is onboard with the whole personal hot spot thing fried phone pours in their knees and go west. I like to needs to spoke to the best start yesterday and they say they will support the feature with the launch of violence four dot three. That's one week from tomorrow the p says users who wanted will need the carriers new data pro hotspots tampering plan which gives people for get goodbye took total data with connection sharing for forty five dollars a month. Probably not bad for people whose first i phone was my phone for though a tough deal to get behind for those holding on to their thirty dollars for one limited data plants. And finally today if it was price and not specs that kept you from getting an eye pad in the past apples gotta deal for you as well. Sitting on a decent number first jen hyatt badge the company is cut prices on both new and refurbished machines fortune's as the all things i maker is basically lot the hundred bucks off invite bad it has left. So a new first jen sixteen gig abide model starts at three hundred ninety nine dollars for three forty nine for a refurbished units. Five twenty nine for a new sixteen get your bike why five plus three g. for ninety nine for thirty two gig wife i only machine and i think you start to get the idea.

Last night i mac o. s. can live we talked about all of that that you just heard about and the whole lot more like where yesterday's announcement enough to get people either to upgrade or to buy and i bad for the first time. About what were they excited in the nation i o s updates and how they feel about apple c. e. o. steve jobs taking the stage sounded like a good show to me but.
