What would a Microwave look like if it was built by Apple?
Much like how it revolutionized the music-player, Apple has just revolutionized the Microwave. The iMicrowave was announced in a press conference earlier today.
We got rid of all those buttons, and gave you a seamless and intuitive interface. You’re gonna love it.
-Steve Jobs
Much like the iPod and iPhone, the iMicrowave has replaced the buttons we’ve come to expect on a microwave with a touch interface.
The standard interface will consist of a virtual click wheel for setting the time:
Here’s a standard Microwave for comparison (note the VCR-like interface):
No word yet on whether it runs the iOS running on iPods, iPhones, and the iPad.
Bazinga!
The new Apple TV announced today looks really great:

- All streaming, HD content
- Rent TV shows for 99 cents, movies for around 5 bucks
- YouTube, Netflix, other connections
- Stream music and movies from your PC or Mac
- Look at your photos on your computer
- Rotten tomatoes reviews
- Price: $99
- Really small
[Update] Limitations/issues:
- Limited to ABC and Fox shows only for now.
- Doesn’t run iOS Apps
- No hulu, face-time, or web-surfing?
I’ve been using the IPod touch for about 6 months now. I’ve got a few pages of apps, so far the most useful one in the email app. I’ve got some games too.
Pros: It’s cool having a small palm-size computer to take around. I like checking my email and stocks. I love using the pandora app to listen to music - not the same old stuff I have. It has amazing performance for such a small machine.
Cons: For some reason it decided to stop working with my home wireless one day and I can’t get it to work again. It works fine at work though. Also, its battery drains fast if you do anything interesting, such as use Pandora. The games are addictive
