Sure, they announced some other stuff, too: an updated Apple TV with 1080p support, purchased movies from iTunes now stored in iCloud and available for re-download, and updates to a number of iPhone and iPad apps (which I&#8217;m very excited about and will discuss in the second half of this article).<\/p>\n<p>The iPad itself received the expected upgrade to a Retina display with a 2048 x 1536 resolution: four times the pixels of the previous iPad. Unfortunately, it will be at least a week before I can even glimpse the new screen, but considering how impressive the iPhone 4&#8217;s Retina display was, the iPad will likely deliver the same astounding contrast. I&#8217;m not going to waste your time telling you about all the details you can get everywhere else, but I will comment on the increase of the RAM to 1GB. The iPad should be quite a bit snappier than the previous model. I&#8217;m also looking forward to the quality of gameplay on the new device. Infinity Blade: Dungeons has me more excited than any iPad game has the right. I love Diablo and its clones, and Infinity Blade II is my favorite game on the iPhone. Period. I really can&#8217;t wait for this game.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the most exciting aspect of the announcement has been <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=boISyYkY0ls&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fiphoto%252Fid497786065%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iPhoto<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=boISyYkY0ls&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgarageband%252Fid408709785%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GarageBand<\/a>. I imagine that if I were able to afford an iPad, I would feel differently. But, being able to use iPhoto and the updated GarageBand <em>now<\/em> has been a lot of fun. GarageBand&#8217;s Smart Strings feature and Jam Sessions will make them a huge hit for my family and friends. I hope to get a few songs recorded and up on the blog to show just how cool and easy it can be.<\/p>\n<p>iPhoto is the app I&#8217;ve spent the most time with so far. Last night, I took some time to apply a few edits to a photo of my wife from our honeymoon that I thought were pretty cool.

Tim Cook was coy when asked if any of the missing features would be coming to iCloud, and I feel like yesterday was one of those reasons. iPhoto Journals allow you to customize layout and size of the photos being displayed.
