Planetary is a new way to explore your iTunes collection, via a series of stars, planets, and moons. It’s a fun concept, though I wish the highest level was organized by genre, rather than alphabetically.

The iPad 2 has landed. The second version features the new A5 processor, providing up to 9x faster graphics and a 2x faster, dual-core processor. Fortunately, the device has retained exactly the same battery life. Feature-wise, some of the most notable announcements include: A new design which is 33% thinner. Thinner than your iPhone 4 Two cameras, front-facing (for the new Facetime and Photobooth apps) and rear-facing (for HD video capture and the new iMovie app) “Smart Covers” which come in an array of colors and grip onto the iPad using magnets, and automatically put the iPad to sleep when applied, and wake it up when removed. Smart covers also automatically convert to stands for both portrait and landscape use. The Nitro JS engine is now in the new 4.3 Safari, fantastic news for web app developers Now the only question: 3G or Wifi?

The XFINITY TV App »

For me, this connected to my cable box immediately and is fantastic. It’s smooth at browsing channels/OnDemand, searching, and setting DVR recordings. Makes you think the remote app from Apple could learn a thing or two (why can’t you browse Apple TV in the app?). Anyway, I highly recommend trying it out if you have Comcast — it’s a free download.
