Uploaded with Skitch! Here’s yet another application that I’ve been wanting to get my hands on for a long time. Unfortunately I didn’t get into the beta, but just recently the Pixelmator team released version 1.0 to everyone. It’s actually a trial version, but a full version may be obtained for $59.

Sadly, I don’t own an iPhone. I’m not what you call an “early adopter.” I love the device, and it’s all I’ve been looking for in a phone/PDA/handheld device/media player/shiny object, but for one (and probably most importantly), I’m locked in another cell phone contract!

Along with the rest of the iPod announcements yesterday, Steve delivered the news that the iPod as we know it was actually getting a formal title: iPod classic. The original iPod has always been known as just that—save for the occasional dabble with iPod video, or iPod color monikers. Steve seemed happy just to call…
