Magic Trackpad

Just two days ago I bought a magic trackpad (made by Apple). I've been looking into it for a while, but now I've bought one from The Good Guys. We had received a gift card from one of our previous purchases, so my dad did a deal with me and now I have a magic trackpad for the computer in my room!

It's like a laptop mouse pad, your fingers do all the hard work of moving the arrow on your screen (joking).

Just incase you haven't seen or don't know what a magic trackpad is I've got some images.

One reason why I like the magic trackpad is that you can do many more new movements to control your computer. Such as (if your using a mac) fore fingers swipe across to move between full screen application, fore fingers swipe up will take you to mission control, and again fore fingers swipe down will take you to app Exposé. All up there are about 15 different movements that you can do with one hand to control your mac.

Spotify

Spotify is an easy way to listen to your favourite album, song or just some of the latest hits all for free. You can use Spotify for free with audio ads but if you really won't to loos the ads and get more out of your music you'll be paying $6.99 per month.

First you need to make your own account then you can search for what you feel like listening to or go on to a Spotify radio station and it will start to play all kinds of different songs.

You can make your own playlist with all the songs you like.

This is one of my playlists.

So Spotify is a very cool app, I was very shocked when I saw that you can download the songs and play them offline. You might think this is breaking copyright but it's not. 

As I have said it is free on your computer, but on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or other device you will have to buy it after 48 hours starting from when you login. (If you wont to have unlimited usage)

IOS 7

I'm excited about IOS 7, which has just been announced,  because it's going to have an improved Siri (at last) and a different looking everything! Airdrop, iTunes radio and control centre are some of the new features.

Better Siri: Siri will be upgraded with a better or more realistic voice and Siri is now a female or male voice, but I'm sure the new male voice will be called something different to Siri.

A different looking everything: As you can see Apple has changed the IOS look.

Airdrop: Airdrop is very handy if you wan't to send photos, videos and more to another iPhone user right next to you.

               





       
                           
                   



















iTunes Radio: I don't know everything about iTunes radio but it sounds cool.

Control Centre: I like the idea of control centre, because the most useful things in settings is just a swipe away, from any app.

Looks like fun to me, it comes out this US fall which is September the 22. Rumours say the iPad mini 2 will come out some time then, might even on that day!!!

In case you don't know, I'm looking to buy the iPad mini 2.
