Ever since Apple provided an SDK (Software Development Kit) for developers, many cool apps have been made and as a result, Apple gadgets especially ipod touch and iphone are currently the most user-friendly device ever created! 

For example, by updating your firmware to 2.2, you

 can now download podcasts directly from

 your iPhone or iPod touch. well of course for now it is only can be used in USA but if you got the urge to do some research and a little bit of patience and couriosity, you could maximize the function of the device not only for making calls and listening to music but having the world in your palm.. from anywhere you are. 

Podcast is a free video or audio series (like a TV or radio show) that you download from iTunes and play on your iPod or iPhone and it offers more than 100,000 audio and video podcasts from independent creators and big names like HBO, ESPN, ComedyCentral, BBC and CNN. I even downloaded some episodes from National Geographic and Discovery Channel so that I could share some latest information with you guys! 

Also, as a medical student I could access from various sources about how to make an operation to remove hernias, treat breast cancers, gallstones, appendicitis ect. there are so many programs and it will take days for me to type it for you!!

The best podcasts I've discovered so far are from the Surgery 101, ComedyCentral, NakedScientists, NASA, TV series and movies official podcasts and from National Geographic. 

iTunes has also provided its user to access iTunes U where you could sit in front of your comp, on your lazy chair, on your bed and even in a kedai mamak with your iPod or iPhone on your hand and educate yourself. It provides you with all the information you need such as lecture notes for medical students, accountancy, engineering, law, cooking, ect. Language courses, lecture slides, books, audiobooks and every learning sources you need form various categories.Also provided by high ranked universities - Oxford, Cambridge, Berkeley.. I guess you have figured it out what the U stands for :D~

Now that's what I call USER FRIENDLY. In Apple, they make the people create what they want for themselves instead of them creating something for the people so that they won't bitch about how bad the apps are. So if you want to have the apps of your own, with your own ideas, download the SDK and you may stand a chance of becoming a rich man because if your apps are good enough, Apple will buy them from you and you will get profits from every sale they made. Eventhough there are some downsides, I think I could close my eyes about it and see the advantages they provided for their users. 

The best part in Apple i love the most is their trademark catch phrase - "Think Different"  

Coz they really have done things beyond imaginable! But for all the fruits.. why Apple? How people could go crazy over Apple? maybe it sounds nice and easier to say or maybe Steve Job loves to eat apples and got an apple farm at the back of his house?? What if Pak Amir wants to follow Steve Job's path? Would it be a device called Durian iPhone 3G or Durian iPod Touch? Well, i don't think people would want to touch that! hehe! 

Actually, I thought of sharing about my top games in iPhone but ended up sharing about other things plak. hehe! sorry about that. Well, there are still more posts to come so please check this blog regularly for updates!! 

Think Different and you may could make a difference. Thanks for reading!
