Apple Announces New Versions of iOS

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple Wednesday announced the next two versions of iOS, its operating system for iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad, adding support for multiplayer gaming, HDR photography, and wireless printing. The first revision to the operating system, iOS 4.1, will be available next week as a free download for the iPhone and iPod Touch, but not the iPad. IOS 4.1 includes bug fixes, support for making high dynamic range (HDR) photos, TV show rentals, and an entertainment feature for multiplayer gaming called Game Center. Jobs says that the bug fixes are focused on the issues most frequently raised by customer support calls. “We think we’ve nailed a lot of them and we think you’re going to be pretty happy with them,” Apple CEO Steve Jobs said. The next version, iOS 4.2, will available in November for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad users

The new Apple TV for $99

Steve Jobs just pulled out the world famous “one more thing” for nothing other than… a new Apple TV. It’s now a streaming-focused device (as we predicted months ago ) in a small matte black enclosure we’re calling “the hockey puck.” It has HDMI, Ethernet, optical audio, and USB plugs around back, and of course 802.11n for the cable-averse. Inside there ain’t much — there’s no local storage, which makes this thing an entirely different beast than old Apple TVs, relying entirely on the “cloud” for content

Apple’s AirPlay music streaming coming to third party speaker docks, receivers, and stereos

Steve didn’t mention it during his keynote just now, but in addition to bringing AirPlay music streaming to iOS 4.2 and iTunes 10 , Apple’s also opening the tech up to third parties, with a few big names already on board. That means you’ll be able to stream music from iTunes, your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to speaker docks, receivers and stereos from companies like Denon, Marantz, Bowers & Wilkins, JBL and iHome, complete with song, album, and artist info and album art. That certainly makes the system much more flexible, especially since you can stream to multiple speakers at once — and damn, building a mix-and-match whole-house audio system just got incredibly easy. We’re definitely digging for more info on this and some release dates for compatible gear, we’ll let you know

Hands-On With The New $100 Apple TV

> > View all SAN FRANCISCO — When Steve Jobs was preparing to introduce the Apple TV, he called it “one more hobby,” and based on our first impressions, that’s a safe choice of words. The new Apple TV is a major hardware revamp — one quarter the size of its predecessor. It’s a small black box with curved edges, somewhat resembling a hockey puck. The highlights: It costs $100, and it integrates nearly instant TV and movie rentals, along with Netflix streaming. The major limitation: For TV rentals, only two studios are on board to stream shows through the Apple TV –ABC and Fox. This isn’t an adequate replacement yet for cable subscriptions .
