Apple just refresh their iPod product line few day again , We know that the new iPod touch that can do Facetime , iPod nano getting new design with a bigger screen and the new social network for music lover – Ping.

Beside all these latest news about iPod , what I want to share is something related to iPod history , the iPod time line. This is something official from Apple that indicate the every important release about iPod.

The whole iPod history started from 2001 , I got my first “idevice” which is the ipod touch 2008 : ) , it seem like I m slightly late for the party.

Just in case you are not aware of , the latest iTunes 9 come with improved syncing feature which allow you to organize your application through different page in your iphone/ipod touch. Before this feature release, you can only manually organize the application on each page, which mean if you need to move application from page 1 to page 4, you need to hold that applications until it movable and drag it across 3 pages.

itunes-application-sort

Now with this new application organize feature, everything is just drag and drop, as you can see on the screen shot, i have lots of application across different pages, i just need to drag the application that i would like to move and drop it on the page , which is very straight forward.Although i m quite happy with this new feature, but i think movement is much more better in organize applications, watch the youtube demo video and you will agree with me.

I just bought Instapaper Pro after using Instapaper free for such a long time. I blog about instapaper as a “save now read later” tool last year and it also become one of my top 5 ipod touch applications this year.

These are my reasons for getting the Instapaper Pro

  • Show appreciation to the developer.
  • Enjoy the pro feature like Black-background text view and Remembers your position ( this 2 are my favourite ).
  • Discount – the original price is $9.99.
  • Instapaper pro 2.0 will be free upgrade.
  • It seem like it working on the correct direction, some social feature added on 2.0 release.

instapaper-pro

Currently Instapaper Pro is on sale at $4.99 @ apple app store , which is quite a good buy, get it now before the 2.0 approve by apple.

I always show my support to games that provide lite version in app store , in fact this should apply to most of the apps. Apps developer might think that since the apps is so cheap, why bother to waste the effort to create/strip down a lite version ? this explain why there are so little lite version apps/games appear in the app store.

Why i think these 5 games looks promising ? because they actually provide lite version for user to download , after i play with lite version , i do think these games is quite worth it.

1. Tower Bloxx Deluxe

tower-bloxx

a special game that need you to stack the tower , other then the simple stacking action , it seem like there are strategy planning part which need you to plan where to put your building.

Price : $2.99 | iTune linkiTune link for Lite version | Youtube Video

2. Cooking Mama

cooking-mama

a famous cooking game that appear on different paltform, this is not a blindly port over version, it actually make use of ipod touch feature to perform different action of cooking.

airport-mania

the action part similar to super market mania, but this game allow you to manage your airport, planning and upgrade the equipments of your air port.

I been thinking to blog about apps that in my ipod touch for quite some time, if you see a nerd every morning playing with his ipod touch from Boon Lay all the way to Sommerset , that fellow most likely is me. So what are the top 5 apps in my ipod touch which accompany me for my lonely journey every morning ?

I like evernote service a lot. i have the windows version at my office, mac version for my home’s iMac , windows mobile version on my Treo and iphone apps version for my ipod touch. So this is some of the rant about the evernote iphone apps.

  1. It’s very troublesome to tag note as favourtite – evernote is not viewable in iphone apps during offline , unless you tag the note as your favourite note. So how you do that ? you need to go in a note , wait for it to load then you can mark it as favourite, there are no mass marking available and the desktop version of evernote application doesn’t support this.
  2. It always ask for using your location – there is no setting for you to control this and it will keep ask you “Evernote” would like to use your current location ? “
  3. You can’t edit the note that havent sync – let you you write a note, click done and wait it for sync, suddenly you think of something, but you can’t edit the note if it never sync
  4. Only 1 note list can be view in offline – i understand not all notes is store, but let say if you are viewing on one particular notebook , after you offline , there is no way for you to navigate to other notebook to see what notes you have, it will only pop up “Error communicating with Evernotes server”
  5. Lastly there is a bug on pending screen – pending note with no note pending image showing at the same time

If you have a iphone/ipod touch and like to browse around app store but hate the way how app store organize, you will like this site – AppShopper

So why i recommend this site ? i would say this site have 2 major point to attaract you, first you can browse the application by type , be it Paid application or Free application, currently this feature is not longer available in app store, you can’t browser through free application only. The other killer feature is , it allow you to keep track application that having “price changes” feature.

How often you miss out some app store promotion ? some expensive application might be under promotion, some paid application might be free for limited time, with keep track the “price changes” feature combine with the application type filter ( Paid or Free ) , you wouldn’t miss out all these promotion any more.

take a look paid application that become free after price change, there might be some application that suit your need.

This use to be a problem for iphone/ipod touch user, when you connect your iphone/ipod touch to your iTunes, it will start backup your device’s data and it has been extreme slow process until firmware 2.0 release. After firmware 2.0 fixed this issue, recently my ipod touch start having the same problem again.

So after i google around and found this solution

Go into iTunes Edit/Preferences the last tab sync disable auto sync for all iPod and iPhones. This does not fix it it is just the first step do not stop here.

Next connect your iPhone to the computer. Once it shows up in iTunes go into the last tab Applications. Uncheck sync all apps. not Click apply. Now click sync. it will remove all the applications! After it is finished unplug the iPhone. I bet you will have at least one app still on the Iphone, maybe more. Hold any icon down until they jiggle. tap the x’s and delete all the remaing apps. You may notice after you delete each app that a little spinning circle is next to your 3G icon on the top right hand side. Let it finish spinning before you delete the next app.

Once you have deleted all the remaining apps (That had corrupt data that was causing your long back ups!) do a hard reset. To do this hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the red slider appears at the top of the screen. Slide it over and the phone will power off. You will again notice the spinning circle. Once it finishes wait a few seconds and power the iPhone back on by pressing the sleep/wake button.

While it is booting back up go into iTunes again turn the auto sync back on! Now connect the iPhone to the computer, let it backup and sync. I bet you a million dollars it goes so fast you want to cry or laugh. Now after it finishes go back to the applications tab. Click sync apps again, but make sure you have the 2nd circle checked. This box is sync selected apps. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked! Now slowly begin adding apps back to the iPhone. I have done as many as 5 at a time. Check the boxes then click apply, then sync. It will backup then add the applications and sync all other information.

[via] mactalk forum

i have tested and it work, now my ipod touch speed back to normal, i guess cleaning up those corrupted application really help to speed up your backup processs.

When i browse through my subscribe mac’s blog , happen to see this iphone configutation utility , i download it to test on my ipod touch.

When i saw Apple release iPod Touch , the first thing pop in my mind is shit i might want this compare to Nokia N800. I been searching for a small device like this which allow me to connect to the internet without notebook, mobile phone doesn’t meet my requirement due to the small screen. Nokia N800 is always on my to-buy list until iPod Touch release.

Some of the clearly comparsion we can see via

i will just compare some of the main feature which important to me

  • Connectivity – Nokia N800 , include bluetooh
  • Multimedia – iPod Touch , iPod is good with all these video, music kind of thing
  • Sync – iPod Touch able to sync with iTunes ( i hope it can be sync as PIM in future )
  • Browser – iPod Touch , safari should be optimize and there are many site optimize for iphone ready
  • 3rd Party software – Nokia N800 , linux is the answer and tons of application been develop
  • UI – iPod Touch , multi touch is revolution
  • Storage – fair , 8G vs 2 card slot
  • Price – fair

what will be your choice ?
