    I don't suppose you could have waited until....I don't know...new years was closer and...call me crazy...Christmas was already over with before you did a year-in-review.

      Well many (most?) news outlets have done year-in-reviews already. I'm actually late compared to a lot of major tech publications. Apple doesn't usually announce anything big over the holidays anyway.

    Hi Gary, Thanks for all the great info! Just wondering why you didn't mention the updated iPod Touch?

      13 years ago

      No reason. I tried my best to make it comprehensive, but I didn't want the video to run too long.

    Gary,
    I really enjoy/appreciate your podcasts. Your clear, concise explanations really simplify the problem at hand. Do you have a contribution option for your site?

      13 years ago

      Contribution? You mean like a donation? No. I don't do that. If you like the site, you can support it indirectly by buying the book (http://macmost.com/book) or some of my iPhone games (http://clevermedia.com/iphonegames/). Other than that, just help by spreading the word about the site. I get paid by the advertisers, so the more people that visit the site the more reward I see for doing MacMost. Thanks.

    Nice job as usual. I just ordered your book for a relative that will be switching to Mac soon. Amazon is selling it for $13.59 right now. How about an episode on video chat options? Facetime vs. Skype vs. Fring, etc. Skype doesn't have mobile device support, Facetime doesn't have PC support. Fring is the only one with mobile device support (Droid) but who wants to get all their relatives to install that bad software? Maybe Skype will finally get their act together when the iPad 2 launches...

      Thanks! I don't use video chat that often. When I do, it is between two Macs, so we just use iChat. I've done FaceTime a few times too. I suppose if Skype gets video chat on the iPhone it will be the clear winner. A lot of people use Skype.

        Guess what just happened a few minutes ago? Skype released video support for the iOS devices!! What a coincidence. Now I can video chat with my parents without running to the computer. The iPod Touch in my pocket means that I'm always available - well, if I'm on WiFi.

        I use iChat too between Macs (usually over Bonjour at home), which brings up a question - why Apple hasn't created an iOS version or it?

        My mom is not on a Mac yet and Skype was the only client I could get to work. I tried AIM with iChat and MSN Messenger but it wouldn't work.
