Tuesday Tech Talk #11

Ok it’s another Tuesday which means another edition of Triple T.

Apple Music Event

Tomorrow is the Apple music event, smart money points to iPod touch and nano’s with cameras. If your holding your breath for Beatles though then you might want to exhale before passing out. Also look for iTunes 9 with Blu-ray support.

Microsoft

If Microsoft were a human being they would probably need a therapist for their insecurity issues. I mean come on, you got what over 90% of the OS market and yet your worried about Mac and Linux? I mean yeah IMHO both are better than your OS but come on!

audioBoo

Ok so if your not using audioBoo yet and you own an iPhone or iPod touch, then you really need to. Basically it’s a short audio blog up to 5 minutes in length. You can find my feed here. Oh and you can add all your friends boo’s into your RSS reader or iTunes. It treats it as if it were a podcast.

This Week’s iPhone/iPod touch apps

A new segment as part of Triple T is This Week’s iPhone/iPod touch apps. Each week I will pick a few of my favorite apps I am trying. Here are this weeks.

AAA Roadside - This handy little app makes notifying AAA a whole lot easier. No need to talk to a person or dig out your card, just file it within the app. Upon first time setup you will enter your AAA card number and it will be stored within the app.

audioBoo - Couldn’t mention audioBoo above and not mention the actual app to do your recordings on. It also allows you to listen to recent boo’s from everyone else although as of now, there is no way to set it to just your family and friend’s boos.

Facebook - Facebook has updated their app with cool new features. You can now break down your news feeds by groups you set up like Family, Personal friends, and group names. Oh yeah and you can post photos right from the app (and video with an iPhone 3GS).

SiriusXM - If you subscribe to SiriusXM your iPhone or touch is now an instant radio (internet access required). I have found myself listening to different music and talk stations at Joe Joe’s and around the house.

TUAW - If your a Mac fan like me then you should have this app for The Unofficial Apple Weblog. All the latest news right in the app.

Well that is all for this edition of Triple T. I will be posting about the Apple Music event tomorrow some time.
