I updated my software to the latest 3.1 a while back. But i didn’t really take the time to play around with the new features as much as i had hoped for. But anyhow I’m glad i did. What i got out of it?

  • Shake to Shuffle my music
  • Automatic Wi-fi Login (not like i really need it because i will still do it manually)
  • cut, copy and paste (i love this!!!)
  • Landscape keyboard (very convenient)
  • Bluetooth capability (great for peer to peer gaming)
  • Spotlight searches on the front page of your Ipod.

After the update i was delighted with one particular new feature. Hit the application tab on your Ipod/Iphone on Itunes and you will see this. :)

Ooooh happy happy joy joy. Why do i love this so much? For anyone who has loads of applications on their IPhone or Ipod like I do, arranging them can be a real pain. Before you would have to press hard on your ipod screen in order to get the icons to become “flexible” enough so you can drag them around. Arranging apps in that manner will take forever.

Now with this feature, I can arrange any of the applications to which ever page i want. :) Plus i can delete stuff from the Ipod immediately. When you roll over one of the application icons you will see an “X”.

Ta da! Click on that and there you go no more app on the Ipod, but no worries it’s still in your Itunes. You just need to select it again on the left hand where you see all the your applications in a list format, showcasing the name, category and date.

Go and update your Ipod to the latest 3.1 version it’s only $4.95. Stupid apple, they make everything this “cheap” no wonder people will buy. :P
