iTunes 10.1 Released

ByMike Moffit

Rounding out the software updates for this week, Apple today launched iTunes 10.1. While not drawing the levels of anticipation surrounding iOS 4.2, this update brings a few key changes to the application. Although it will not be fully realized until the release of iOS 4.2, iTunes 10.1 brings more robust AirPlay support to OS X. In addition to music, users can now instantly stream videos from iTunes to Apple TV. The update additionally contributes a number of stability improvements and bug fixes. Some users are also reporting smoother performance when navigating their libraries.

Though iOS 4.2 is still MIA, users will presumably need to have iTunes 10.1 installed to update their devices once it is made live. iTunes 10.1 can be acquired through Software Update, or downloaded directly here.

  • New Mac mini: Operation "Sandy Bridge"

    Apple announced brand new Mac minis today, with notable changes.

    Intel’s Sandy Bridge processors have been added to Apple’s new line of Mac minis in the form of Intel Core i5s. Now, what is “Sandy Bridge,” you ask? Specifically, that’s the name of the processor that is the successor to the Nehalem processor. Sandy Bridge processors are touted to be “up to 2x faster” per Apple’s claims.

    The new Mac minis sport faster graphics (with a discrete AMD Radeon HD graphics processor) and also include support for Thunderbolt connectivity. The Thunderbolt port gives access for the new Apple Thunderbolt Display and also supports Mini DisplayPort peripherals. Mac mini features an HDMI and built-in SDXC card slot.

    What’s more (or should I say “what’s less) is that these new models have eliminated optical drives, taking a cue from the MacBook Air line. A separate SuperDrive is available for purchase.

    My favorite part so far? NO MORE POWER BRICK. Mac mini now has a built-in power brick, so all you see is a single cord.

    Standard configurations:

    * 2.3GHz Intel Core i5, 500 GB hard drive, 2GB RAM: *$599.99*
    * 2.5GHz Intel Core i5, 500 GB hard drive, 4GB RAM: *$799.99*

    Server configuration:

    * 2.0GHz, dual 500GB hard drives, 4GB RAM: *$999.99*

    All models come with Lion (OS 10.7) pre-installed.

    We will be listing these and CTO options shortly. More updates as we get them!
