iTunes 8.0.1 Improves Stability and Performance, and Includes Bug Fixes to iTunes 8
After downloading the latest update to iTunes 8 which is iTunes 8.0.1, I’ve seen quite a number of changes in this upgraded version. If you can recall, Apple released iTunes 8 promising great features including Genius Playlist, Genius Sidebar and HD TV shows, among others. These new features seemed too good to be true at first but after some time, bugs have been discovered by users like this author. It’s a good thing Apple provides an auto-update feature of their products like iTunes 8 and Quicktime. The total size of the update file is 73.12 MB and takes about 30 minutes to download on broadband internet connections.

New Features in iTunes 8: Genius Playlist, Genius Sidebar and HD TV Shows
If you have been playing around with Apple iTunes 7 (or should I say using iTunes), then iTunes 8 offers great features you don’t want to miss. First off, it offers a Genius Playlist where it automatically creates a playlist from compatible songs depending on your selection.
According to Apple, iTunes 8’s Genius Playlist “is a brilliant way to create perfect playlists. Play a song, click the Genius button, and iTunes creates a playlist of other songs from your library that go great together. iTunes 8 Genius playlists help you discover songs in your library you never knew you had — and rediscover forgotten favorites.”
New Apple iPod Touch Specifications and Features
Apple is on a roll with its new products like the New iPod Nano-Chromatic (8Gb and 16Gb), iPhone 3G and now, the iPod Touch. Specifications and features of these gadgets are really fantastic but not perfect. They have flaws too like the iPhone 3G’s vulnerability, among others. I just wish all of these gadgets are already available in the Philippines so I can avoid placing orders on Ebay for a New iPod Touch. The prices of New iPod Touch starts at $299. In the Philippines, that would cost around Php 13,200 minimum. But when it hits the stores in the Philippines, I suspect they would cost between Php 15000-20000.
For the technical specs of the New iPod Touch, here are they:
