Until today I’ve been using the app called ‘Osfoora HD‘ for my iPad twittering needs but that changed today when Twitter launched their official app. It’s free and it’s a really, really good app! This is a must have if you’re a twitterer and own an iPad.
The last thing Steve Jobs presented today was the brand new Apple TV. It’s brand new, really small (1/4 the size of the old Apple TV), very capable device that they will sell for $99. The strategy is clear, sell tons of these devices and hope that people will rent movies and episodes like crazy.
Instead of the old, time consuming dowload method, you will now be able to stream your content. HD TV episodes can be rented for $0.99 and you will have up to 30 days to start watching and then 48 hours to finish. A pretty good deal. The new Apple TV will be available late September.

The launch of a new iTunes version today didn’t surprise anyone, the big question was if it was going to be just another 9.x or the new version 10. The new iTunes 10 features a new social network for music called ‘Ping’ and since they launch the application with a potential of getting over 160 million users it could get successful very quick. I can’t access the new version from Sweden yet so I haven’t been able to try it out. With the new version you’ll also get $0.99 HD TV episode rentals! More info and images inside.
I’m a fan of the new the 6th generation iPod nano but the new 4th generation iPod Touch will fly of the shelves. It features the new high resolution retina display, holds up to 64GB of data, is ultra thin and features stuff like HD video recording, face time and the new gyro. And you can get one (8GB) for $229. Pretty awesome if you would ask me. More info and images inside.
So even though I’m not a fan of the 4th generation iPod Shuffle I think this one is pretty cool. It’s almost as small as the shuffle but this one comes with a rotating multi-touch display. It also features a FM radio and up to 24 hours of playtime. The 8GB model is $149. More information and images inside.
Along with a bunch of other cool stuff Apple unveiled the new 4th generation iPod Shuffle tonight. I have never liked the Shuffle since I really want a display on my music player but at least they are pretty cheap – $49 for a 2GB version. Full info and more images inside.
Apple’s hosting their yearly music event tomorrow and for the first time in many, many years they will provide a live stream as well. The event starts today at 10:00 a.m. PDT. Full press info after the break.
Crunchgear has published a nice video showing you all the nice, new features that comes with the latest version of Plex. The most interesting part is that you now can get an iOS app which makes it possible to browse your Plex content on your iPad/iPhone/iPod touch.

I just wanted to share this photo of the new Magic Trackpad next to an Apple wireless keyboard. A really nice couple, don’t you think?
Ok, here’s the second unboxing gallery of the day and now it’s time for Apple’s new Magic Trackpad. I really like this idea and it will be interesting to try it out and see if it can replace the mouse. I’ll be using at work for a week and find out. Check out the gallery inside.
