PS: I have decided to become an app developer

In app purchase, which allows developers to create things to buy in an app that cost real money. One example is reading books on your iPhone/iPod Touch. Right now you can either sell one book per app, or sell several books in one app for one price. With iPhone OS 3.0, once you buy the reader app, you can buy books from within the app. The cost is charged to your iTunes store account.

Also, apple has finally finished push notification. They had to completely re-architect push notification because what developers wanted to do was not possible with what apple had made previously. It doesn’t run background processes so it doesn’t take up battery life. The servers send your notification over your service provider connection.

Another new cool feature is the ability to put your music from the iPod app inside an app. Say you buy the music system in Sims 3, when you turn it on it plays your music from the music app.

There is also the ability to embed apple’s maps from the map app into your application.

Lastly, you can make accesories for your app. Ex: If you have an app that mesures blood pressure, you could might make a blood pressure sensor that plugs into the iphone.

iPhone OS 3.0 will be availible this summer. iPhone users can get it for free. iPod Touch users can get it for $10

It is now almost half the size of the previous shuffle, but twice the memory space with 4 GB.  The new iPod Shuffle also has a killer feature:  VoiceOver.  This is the first MP3 player that talks to you.  It doesn’t have a screen, like all iPod Shuffles, but this one is the first to compensate.  This iPod will read out the names of songs, playlists, albums, etc…  that are in a menu.  If you are playing a song, and tap the middle button, it will also read out the name of the song and the artist.  But some people are complaining that you can’t use different headphones which can be annoying.  To find out more click here.
