Apple’s Let’s Rock event was a bit of a disappointment for me. Mainly because Copy and Paste apparently hasn’t made it to the 2.1 iPhone software. The upgrade will be available on Friday. Expect:

• faster sync – yay!
• less call drops
• less crashes
• better battery life

The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

Also, it seems strange for Apple to drop the 160GB iPod Classic. The biggest iPod you can now get is the new 120GB Classic.

I am not sure about the new iPod nano, either. The new features are cool. Especially the shake to shuffle feature. I like the colours too. I will have to get my hands on one to see what it’s like in the flesh.

The new features of the new Second generation iPod touch look pretty neat.

Really looking forward to downloading iTunes 8. The new Genius feature looks cool. I wonder how it will categorise my music?

Roll on Friday.

Tomorrow brings Apple’s Big Deal event. The banners are up and their are some tasty iPhone rumours abounding, as ars technica write.

there are other parts to 2.1 that were specifically removed from developer seeds in order to keep them secret from the world.

My Big Deal Predictions

• iTunes 8
• New iPod nano
• New iPod Touch
• Copy and Paste for the iPhone

If Copy and Paste finally makes it to the iPhone, there will be a revolution. See you tomorrow!

I like nothing more than to put on some cool, chilled out tunes on my iPod. Fridge maker Gorenje want to make it even cooler. They are now demonstrating their new “Made for iPod” fridge, which includes a docking station, charger and speakers. It will go on sale early next year. They don’t see it just as a music device though. Plug in your iPod Touch (and presumably your iPhone) and you have all your recipes, shopping lists and more at your fingertips.

Cool.
