For those of you who know me, you’ll know that I like watching video on the move, and up until now it’s been either YouTube or the videos I’ve downloaded or captured myself. What I really wanted though was the iPlayer from the BBC, because a lot of my favourite shows are on the platform, Torchwood, Doctor Who and dare I mention Holby City!
Well you know, now I can watch some of these, not all shows are available right now but I’m sure that will change, on the iPhone very easily. I managed to watch this week’s episode of Holby City quite happily while sat in bed the other night. I haven’t tried this via EDGE as yet, but I’ll keep you posted.
Could it be better, yes! They really need to build an iPhone interface for it, because the standard one is a bit fiddly! The video quality is very nice though.
So great job BBC!

Apple today amongst other releases let out of the Cupertino Campus iPhone and iPod Touch firmware 1.1.4.
What does it do?
Nothing.
No really nothing.
It improves stability as everyone already knows with the Apple notes and thats basically all it says. Maybe something to do with 3rd party applications is included but not documented. Engadget say that the jailbroken phones will update without problems everything still intact but be careful and if you have any complaints complain to them not me
It is a hefty update clocking in at around 160 megs it is almost as big as a OS 10 upgrade.
If you have one of the touchscreen Apple devices then update it and enjoy the nothing.

iPods now are becoming an extension of peoples beings. I feel it is becoming like the hoover. Instead of saying “Vacuum cleaning” people say “Hoovering” and now I can see it becoming not MP3 player but iPod. iPod has a status of its own. I could go on a post about how iPods are so big now they are creating a monopoly (gives me an idea) but this post is about breaking your iPod virginity and finding you the right iPod.
This is a really good mock up of how the iPhone copy and paste could and should work. If they choose to implement it in this way I would be a happy man.
If any of the iPhone developers are reading this then take a good look. I find this video could educate you and make you see your mistakes. People complained about Leopard’s Menu Bar and you changed that. If we whine enough about the copy and paste will you? I realise I’m talking to no-one here but I am doing my little bit to help.
Funny great video.

A while ago in the UK the Mitchell and Webb versions of the hit US Mac and PC adverts were pulled offline. During a bored 3am time last night I found my self perusing through the great servers of YouTube and came across all the ads and I just wanted to know your opinion on them.
If you have a MacBook or MacBook Pro you are probably sick and tired of hitting that software update but you should again once more as Apple has released a keyboard patch that helps when a key is pressed for the first time after the mac has been idle and hasn’t done anything. It probably also “Improves stability and compatibility” in some way shape or form. All the updates do these days.

The forgotton iPod the baby of the lot has grown bigger. He know is sporting a 2GB chip inside his little shell as opposed to the 1GB as before. There is also a 1GB version still available at a cheaper price of £32.00 but there is now (well soon) the 2GB version at £45.00! That’s cheaper than it was to start with!
Jolly Good!

OK, so sorry for the terrible photography pun there folks, but I’m in a good mood today and therefore you lovely readers get all my most cheesy puns!
So, Apple have a little ‘pro’ photography app called Aperture and they’ve just updated this to version 2.0, which from reading various blogs and hearing photographers on various podcasts, is about time.
Also there seems to be a new 32GB Ipod Touch costing $499 also good day for bank managers everywhere!
Ladies and Gentlemen, start your credit cards!
UPDATE: The UK store doesn’t seem to show the new 16GB iPhone or the 32Gb iPod Touch yet
update 2: Now looks like the 16GB iPhone is listed as costing £329 GBP whilst the current 8GB remains at £269 GBP.

If you have not bought an iPhone to me it is now looking mighty sexy to anyone who is on the fence here in the UK. O2 have just added some bolt-on packages for the iPhone now to try and entice customers into buying the device. Recently they changed the price plans and now they have added bolt ons.
Basically a bolt on is something you can add to your contract to give you more texts or minutes and O2 have a great selection that are as follows:
