**My Experience with GarageBand and Music Applications**

I have to admit, I'm not exactly musical. While I can put together a few loops in GarageBand and Apple's Soundtrack application, creating my own songs from scratch without any guidance is completely out of my league. However, when I saw an application demo on stage, the person performing seemed incredibly skilled. They played several short chords, which I'm pretty sure are called "short chord progressions" or something like that. I may not be able to come up with those myself, but it was clear that this app is designed for music creation.

I watched as the musician switched between playing piano and guitar, and even attempted a few blues riffs. It all looked incredibly smooth and natural, which made me realize just how user-friendly these apps must be. I can definitely see myself buying one of these applications in the future – I'm not sure if they're free or cost money, but I'll have to check out the demo soon.

**The iPhone App Store**

Speaking of the iPhone, I recently attended a keynote presentation that showcased some amazing new applications. One app, called "Band," was particularly impressive. It seems like a music creation tool, allowing users to create their own songs and share them with others. The app's interface looked incredibly intuitive, and I found myself wanting to try it out.

Unfortunately, I don't have any more information about Band or its features – the presentation only showed a brief demo of what the app can do. However, I'm excited to see what other applications will be available when the iPhone 2.0 update comes out in July. The App Store promises to offer thousands of new apps for download, which should make it easy for users to find something that suits their interests.

**The SL Application**

Another app that caught my eye was called "Crawl" – I'm not entirely sure what the name is supposed to be without an L (I think it's a typo, but I'm not going to argue about that). From what I saw in the demo, Crawl seems like a pretty amazing game. The graphics looked incredibly detailed and realistic, and the gameplay appeared to involve some sort of combat system.

I was surprised when the presenter mentioned that Crawl seemed to be running on an iPhone – it looked almost identical to the PlayStation 2 game "Silent Hill: Origins," which I played many years ago. That was a bold statement, but one that seemed entirely justified given what I saw. If you're wondering what Crawl is all about, I recommend checking out mobile me.com (which should now be officially called MobileMe) for more information.

**Mobile Me**

Finally, I want to talk a bit about MobileMe, which was recently rebranded as the new email client on Mac OS X. The good news is that it's finally available – you can download it from apple.com. As for its features, I have to say that I'm really impressed with what I've seen so far. The interface looks sleek and modern, and the push technology that allows your iPhone, Mac, or PC to stay up-to-date seems like a game-changer.

The best part? MobileMe is relatively affordable at $99 per year – which may seem pricey at first, but could be worth it if you take full advantage of its features. Overall, I think this is a great addition to the iPhone's lineup, and I'm excited to see how users will use it in the future.

**My Thoughts on the iPhone**

I've been following Apple's keynote presentation closely, and I have to say that I'm getting more and more excited about what they're going to offer. The iPhone is already an incredible device, but with all these new applications and services coming out, I think it has a real shot at becoming even more indispensable.

One thing that's become clear over the past few years is just how versatile the iPhone really is – from music creation to email clients, there are thousands of potential uses for this device. And with the App Store promised to open up in July, I have no doubt that we'll see an explosion of new and innovative apps that take full advantage of the iPhone's capabilities.

**The Window**

As I'm writing this article, I'm sitting in front of my window, trying not to get too distracted by the view. The blinds are a bit shrouded, which is making it difficult for me to see out onto the street – but at least that means I can focus on the screen and type away without any interruptions.

**Final Thoughts**

Overall, I'm really impressed with what Apple has shown us so far – from music applications like Band to email clients like MobileMe, there's something here for everyone. And with the iPhone 2.0 update coming out in July, I think we can expect even more amazing new apps and services. If you're an Apple fan or just someone who's interested in what's next on the horizon, I highly recommend keeping an eye on these developments – it could be a very exciting few months!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyesterday June 9th 2008 another worldwide developers conference has passed by Steve Jobs once again took the stage talked about its products software and Hardware to its developers you know hence the name worldwide developers conference um they showed all some pretty good stuff mainly regarding the iPhone which is pretty much expected and they also give a very quick um preview not preview uh they just kind of announced that maos 10 10.6 will be called snow leopard but this video is here to express my thoughts and I figured I would I would make it pretty organized by splitting it up into categories so that way you guys can keep tracking me because you know I tend to talk too much so without further Ado here are my thoughts on WWDC 2008 so first up I would like to mention this is the first time ever that WWDC has sold out that is great news um I don't I don't work for app or anything but anytime anything sells out that's obviously a good thing so obviously the more the better and very good for Apple but secondly I would like to talk about what the developers showed off um the first one well first let me start off by saying um Apple orally did this in their March 6th event where they um originally shut off the iPhone SDK for the first time and they invited several devs to the event to show off the applications that they created in I believe just a two weeks time or something like that but this time they kind of did it again just to you know refresh our memories about the um iPhone SDK and how how how easy it is to Dev um apps for it so they had about 10 or so maybe seven or eight I'm not sure but they they um had more at WWDC than they had at the March 6 event but for this um little category thing um I'm going to go over the certain highlights that I thought were special so first up is Super Monkey Ball Sega once again made an appearance just like at the March 6th event um they show off the game um I believe the developer that was talking on stage I forget his name they basically they said that they have over 100 levels that is a lot for a portable game especially on a phone guys a phone over 100 Levels um the final version is going to cost $10 which is nothing um I believe I said I would probably pay $10 um I would probably probably pay like maybe $20 if if you know the game was really that good and from what I saw the game was very responsive with the um accelerometer um the motion sensing controls um the graphics were nice the sound looked fine uh sounded fine looked fine that makes sense and yeah basically Super Monkey Ball I think will be available July 11th um along with everything else for $10 so that should be cool so next up is eBay um a very self-explanatory application it um looked very nice I don't think you can sell from it the uh Point behind the eBay application for the iPhone and iPod Touch um I should say as well that it's its main point is well it's its main reasoning is that you can bid on items on the go that way you you don't have to worry about being near a Mac or PC or Linux box or whatever you use and um from what I saw the application looks very easy to use so kudos to eBay for developing that next up is enigo I'm not sure if I'm saying that right but I also played this game on the Mac and I was really surprised and happy to see them showing off showing us off because this this was a freeware game I mean this was a shareware game excuse me that I downloaded for the Mac um a few months ago at school you know just killing time it's um a game based on physics where you have to guide water in the right direction it sounds really stupid but trust me it is fun um it's totally based around physics and strategy and those are the kind kind of games I really enjoy and I believe that'll be a available at launch as well on July 11th um I don't know if it's for free or if it costs money um but I'm sure you can find out by Googling enigmo iPhone so check that out and next up is banded this application looks really cool um I know I have I have like no music ability whatsoever um I can put a few Loops together in garage band and apple soundtrack application but um I I can no means by no means excuse me um create my own songs off off the top of my head without the um guidance of Loops but this application band the guy that um showed off the application band on stage was obviously very good at music he he played like a few songs um not a few songs but a few um short chords I'm not sure the U correct musical terminology but from what I saw the application is really neat he played the piano he played the guitar I believe he played the blues which is really cool and basically it looks like a really sweet application um I I can definitely see myself buying it I'm not sure if a cost money if it's free but um either way um definitely going to try out the demo so yeah lastly the game that I saw or game SL application that they show off was crawl I'm not sure if it's crawl or crawl like you know without an L basically this game blew me away and I'm not just saying that cuz um you know an apple Enthusiast but this game did not this game did not look like it was running on an iPhone this seriously looked like maybe this might be a bold statement but this kind of looked like a PS2 game like with a particular um art side it looked a lot like there was this one game for the PS2 what was it called you would press button combinations to do combat it was really cool that they would show up on the screen I'm not sure I'm not I'm not going to waste time trying to think of it but if I do think of it I'll put in the video description to my right and I mean to my left and your right and yeah basically this application looked really nice um I don't think it's going to be free I think it's be like $20 maybe 10 I'm not sure don't go by me um I I just watched the keynote one so this stuff is kind of floating in my head still so overall the applications that they showed are really nice um this is just a very fine small example of what the iPhone has to offer in the um in the very bright future like I said these applications and some of them won't won't be available till like September or so but the majority of application um applications that we expect will be available on July 11th when the um the new iPhone comes out and iPhone 2.0 from whereare update comes out and all these apps are delivered through the App Store as well as other ways but I'm not going to explain them now to save time and quick note I'm sorry about the Overexposed face I'm kind of in front of my window right here cuz my new setup so there's not much I can do about that the the blinds are sh but yeah those are the applications for the iPhone um just like I said in March 6 the iPhone is like the Mac platform all over again developers have so many opportunities for this and there going to be so so many applications and finally there will be no more reason for me to jump break my I uh my iPhone yeah my case is breaking but yeah those are the applications so this next one's not really big with me but I will go over it within like a minute or so basically Apple did replace the dox service they officially killed it and put a new um successor in front of it or on top of it whatever you want to say um called mobile M at first at first first when I heard these rumors about mobile me on on macro.com I was saying wow what a stupid name but um through this past week reading about mobile me and the rumors just like the MacBook Air the name has grown on me so mobile me I have no problems with whatsoever um from a graphic design point of view this is totally pointless to the majority of my viewers right now but um I I will say right now the logo is really nice I really like the logo um so yeah but basically what this is It's a do Mac replace B but it uses push technology will basically keep your iPhone up to date Mac up to date and windows up to date with IAL Outlook the mail application your address book um all that cool stuff it's it's really cool they um have a whole new Web 2.0 interface which is really nice and yeah if you're wondering um I'm just looking out the window if if you're wondering what mobile me is all about um go to mobile no actually go to me.com or just go to apple.com mobile me I believe and just like MAAC um it is $99 per year which may seem a bit pricey but if you really take advantage of its features then it's probably worth it so that is mobile wayyesterday June 9th 2008 another worldwide
