Amazing thing they included to Ipod Touch 2.0 upgrade is the snapshot feature! I just love it because I can take pictures of anything I want on net and then later on share it!. Photos are awesome with really good quality.

Here is how you do it!

Chose the page or video or whatever you want to take snapshot of, then hit the HOME BUTTON and hold it! Click on Sleep Button on Top and you will notice small flash , that means snapshot of your ipod touch 2.0 screen has been taken. You can view pictures in Photos app.

Here is how mine looks like.Like it?

Comcast wants to place internet restriction to customers that use a lot of bandwith by slowing their internet speeds down. How fair is that? I understand that figting illegal file sharing is hard, but slowing down or shutting down internet is not going to resolve the issue. If my ISP shuts my internet down, It would “force” me to use my neighbors wifi which is open.

Whats going on with this world? Corps and Govs just keep on blocking, banning stuff that people like to do. I wonder whats next?

I subscribe to 8 different technology & web related blogs and I can tell you that 50% or more of the posts in the last 48 hours have been about the iPhone itself, iPhone launch or the Apps Store. And of course, Twitter is flooded with iphone discussions.

As you may have noticed the last couple of posts on LiveCrunch were also about the iphone (including this one). The iPhone was also talked about on the mainstream media multiple times too.

It’s quite mind blowing (and a bit stupid) to have people queuing up infront of the Apple Store and other resellers days before the the launch. I did not personally get dressed and wait infront of any store. However, I did watch the launch at home on multiple coverages/channels including TWiT Live.

So basically everyone who watched the TV or read the newspaper knows about the iphone. That’s quite amazing right?

Now compare the iPhone launch with the Microsoft Zune (if you know what it is).

The iPhone Apps store has been launched and within a few hours, thousands of apps have been downloaded.

Below is a graph of the pricing distribution of the apps currently available.

The current top paid apps are:

1. Super Monkey Ball
2. MLB.com At Bat
3. OmniFocus
4. Enigmo

The current top free apps are:

1. Remote
2. AIM
3. Facebook
4. Google Mobile
5. eBat Mobile
6. Twitteriffic

Ipod Touch 2.0 Upgrade is avaliable via iTunes but link is not working. Lets wait another hour or two and will see if that will change. I bet it has to do with time in California (Currently 5:31). I think upgrade will be available at 8AM PDT.
