‘One More Thing…’ video available
Apple has made a video of today’s iPod and iMac announcements available for online viewing. The new Front Row looks really cool when you see it in action. I so want an iMac for use as an entertainment center.
One thing I didn’t mention in my previous posts was Apple’s new Photo Booth software that comes with the iMac. It’s nothing ground breaking, but it’s kind of a fun little app for taking and distorting picture with the built in iSight. The cool (and innovative) feature that I wanted to mention about it is it uses your monitor as a flash. If the iSight needs more light, the iMac will flash your display white when the picture snaps. I just thing that’s a cool idea. you can see a demo of Photo Booth in the movie.
