MacJury #1023: A Weekend with the New Apple TV

0

The newly revised Apple TV landed in consumer’s hands last week, and some of those hands belonged to members of The MacJury. After spending a weekend, or less, with the new device, the panel convenes to discuss the ease of rentals, the difficulty of purchases, and arguably the best Netflix experience yet. The surprising small size, the look and feel of the remote control, the benefits and challenges of Home Sharing from your iTunes library, the lack of content access in Europe all lead to a rousing discussion that wraps up in an analysis of who the target audience is, and whether the panelists would recommend the Apple TV. Passing judgement on all this and more are Katie Floyd, John Martellaro, Don McAllister, Terry White and host Chuck Joiner.

MacVoices #10114: Karen Anderson Takes Control of the Basics of the iPhone Under iOS 4

Karen Anderson, long an editor of Take Control books, has moved into the driver’s seat, authoring her first title, Take Control of iPhone Basics, iOS 4 Edition. Karen talks about why you can be happy with an iPhone 3GS, especially if you have limited needs, but why the iPhone 4 is still at the top of the heap. No matter which iPhone you select, Karen helps you get more out of it by reviewing some of the features built in to both the device itself, as well as iTunes that are often overlooked, including Visual Voicemail and prevention of duplicate app purchases. Along the way, Karen touches on HDR photography, using the iPhone 4’s flash, the usability of FaceTime, the need for a “data strategy” for media purchasing and data syncing, and offers some unusual app recommendations.
