Apple's Friday Press Conference

I was just looking at my FeedDemon home page and I just noticed that they have a section of feeds I pay the most attention to. Here is my list of top 10.
What are the blogs or sites you can’t go a day without? I get most of my news and updates via RSS, which in my opinion is still valuable. Do you still use RSS or a feed reader? If you do, what’s your favorite feed reader?
I’ve had this phone now for a full day, and it’s fast and it’s the best android phone that will be on the market. I’ll write a full review soon, but this is by far the best android phone. If you are a Verizon customer go out and get this phone tomorrow when it is released.
I don’t know what Motorola was thinking when they decided to pit the Devour against their better option the Droid, they weren’t thinking clearly.
The DEVOUR is priced at $150 with a two-year Verizon contract.
What the Devour is
I thought the Devour was to be considered an alternative to the Droid, but that’s not the case, it’s got a smaller screen, but the phone itself is actually larger and heavier, but the form factor is a little better than the Droid and the slider feels a little springier than the Droid, and it’s keyboard has a nice little place to rest your thumbs when it’s open.

iPhone OS 4.0, just like the iPad, supports external bluetooth keyboards. While it’s already very useful (and super bulky), Apple added some little nice extras to it; like function key support (youtube link):
Steve and folks just announced iPhone 4.0 and it’s a doozy, there are tons of new features above and under the hood, here’s a rundown of the seven “tentpole” features according to apple.
A little-heralded feature of iTunes 9.1 is the ability to convert higher bitrate songs to 128kpbs AAC files for iPhone or iPod touch sync with iTunes. How do you do it? It’s a simple check box option in the Summary tab when your iPhone appears in the iTunes source list. When the box is checked, on the next sync, all your songs on your iPhone that are not 128kpbs AAC files will be removed and then re-added, being converted on the fly.
The first time I did it, about 400 songs on my iPhone needed to be converted. It took about ten minutes to do the conversion. Once the first large conversion is done, the iPhone syncs your music as fast (or slow) as it ever did (unless you’re refreshing your iPhone’s library every time you sync). If you keep ‘convert higher bitrate songs to 128kpbs AAC files’ checked, any new songs added to your iPhone will automatically be converted.
It’s important to note that this on-the-fly conversion does not alter your original files inside your iTunes library — those will remain at whatever bitrate and in whatever file format you had them in.
How well does this work? I saved a whopping 1.5GBs of space on my 8GB iPhone. Others here at TUAW saved between 2-5GBs. Of course, how much space you save will be dependent on what bitrate and file type your songs are now. The guys here who saved 5GB said their conversions took a few hours initially. As for audio quality. I didn’t notice a bit of difference on my $20 headphones. However, I’m not an audiophile. If you’ve got an ear for music and are using the latest Shures, you might notice some quality degradation.
