Apple : Macworld SF '07: an iPhone with OS X - macmusicAfter I Feel good of the late James Brown and some background about the Intel transition, Steve Jobs did some statements about the full health of the iPod and its 62% marketshare and leading sales on the ITMS, along with new iPod advertising. Next is the Apple TV, an Intel powered box to stream medias (videos, photos…) directly to your TV set from up to 5 computers (USB 2.0 Ethernet, Wifi b, g, and n; 40 GB hard drive, 720p "HD", controlled thru iTunes, $299 available in February).

Next, the iPhone! A widescreen iPod with smart controls, 3G. You just use your fingers (multi-touch screen) and you use OS X! (note this is something really important, there's an OS X running now on small devices) It's synched by itunes, has a 3.5" screen 160 px/inch, 4 or 8 GB, email and book marks support, 3 captors: proximity, ambient light, accelerometer, and a 2 Mpx camera. The iPhone is Quad-band GSM with EDGE, Wi-Fi, bluetooth. The screen feels when you put it on the side and change the screen orientation accordingly. 11 apps included like Safari, Mail, iPhoto, some widgets, google maps versions… You can resize photos using 2 fingers, load multiple web pages, use HTML emails (I hope they are _not_ the rtf kind we have to support still…) and POP3 IMAP exchange… mail servers, use Exposé if need be.

Battery duration: audio use 16 hours, phone use 5 hours. Price $499 for the 4 GB, $599 for the 8 GB (prices include a 2 years contract with Cingular).Cingular will be the exclusive operator in the USA. Available in june in the USA, 4th trimester in in Europe, Asia in 2008.

There's a partnership with Google AND Yahoo announced. And Apple Computer Inc. becomes Apple Inc.

Computer Hardware : Turn your guitar into MIDI controller - macmusicTerraTec Producer has announced the AXON AX 50 USB, a guitar-to-MIDI-controller based on the AXON AX 100 MK II. The AXON AX 50 USB offers a USB port with four additional virtual MIDI ports. With its 32-bit RISC processor, the guitar-to-MIDI controller translates the vibrations from each string that you strike or strum and sends information about the pitch, dynamics, and tone duration to the connected MIDI sound generator. The MIDI sound generator allows you to transform the sound of your connected instrument to the sound of another instrument. The controller also comes with 128 multitimbral sounds based on Native Instruments' Kontakt Player.

Priced at $549 the AXON AX 50 USB will be available soon after NAMM 2007.
