It’s taken Apple a couple of years but they have finally quelled iPhone owner’s desires; introducing iPhone OS 3.0. The good boys at Cupertino announced this morning over 100 new features coming to an iPhone and iPod touch near you. Among the long list of updates are the much fussed about features that have been missing from this device touting the “smartphone” tag: MMS, Copy & Paste, Stereo A2DP Bluetooth, and a system-wide search tool. There is still no support for running background applications but there is a very nice push-notification system that will alert you about updates on apps even if they’re not running.

This past wednesday Apple released the third generation of their popular iPod shuffle that has everyone with making that confused bitter beer face. Among the complains surrounding the device is the control set-up. All the controls for the device are embedded on the cord of the earbuds and none at all on the device. Yes, that means you can use your ultra-high fidelity noise-cancelling headphones you will have to buy an adaptor to be able to control the device. Did I mention the control is only one button and confusing as quantum physics implemented in a discrete-time fourier system of a digital signal processor on a sunday morning?
Still, the new shuffle is sleek, tiny, and definitely one of a kind. But the question always is “Is it fresh?”

This has to be one of the coolest iPhone/iPod Touch apps I’ve seen. BeBot is basically a four-voice analog synthesizer all controlled directly from the phone. It supports multi-touch and effects so you can create some really dense sounds all with your fingers. Bebot really reminds me of the Jazzmutant Lemur that some of you might have seen during Kanye and Daft Punk’s Grammy perfomance last year.
Check out this video of Jordan Rudess, keyboardist of Dream Theater, on the BeBot. The first 60 seconds are enchanting… yes, i said the word “enchanting”.
But it now for only $1.99 on iTunes!
