• Apple to offer early iPhone adopters $100 credit
  I think Apple’s doing the right thing here. But I also hope the early adopters learned a lesson. Hell, many of these people WAITED ON LINE to spend $200 more than they could have by waiting. On Apple Insider.

According to Software Update:

This update addresses issues with keyboard interface reliability for Apple’s professional applications and is recommended for all users of Final Cut Studio.

This update notice was probably triggered on my system because I have Final Cut Express HD installed, so it must apply to that as well.

Tell us which iPod you’d buy.

On Wednesday, Steve Jobs announced four new iPod models, available in plenty of time for the holidays. They range from a restyling of the very basic iPod Shuffle to an improved iPod Nano to a renamed, increased capacity iPod Classic to a wifi-enabled, browser equipped iPod Touch.

Not to miss out on an opportunity to gather opinions, I’ve set up the following poll:

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Keep in mind that this poll does not ask which iPod you will buy. It asks which one you would buy.

And I hope you’ll take the time to use the Comments link or form below to let us know why you’ve made your choice.

As promised by Steve Jobs yesterday, iTunes has been updated to add new features for iPhone users and support for the new iPod models:

With iTunes 7.4, sync your favorite music and more with the new iPod nano (third generation), iPod classic, and iPod touch, plus create custom ringtones exclusively for iPhone with many of your favorite songs purchased from the iTunes Store. You can now also play purchased videos with closed captioning (when available), easily rate your favorite albums from one to five stars, and watch videos at a larger size inside the iTunes window.
