Two days ago (Wednesday), Steve Jobs announced some pretty compelling new devices, namely iPods. What was also expected was a new iTV (but still called “Apple TV”) and they delivered on the promise of small size, streaming video, and 99 cent TV show rentals, although we don’t see the need for the small size, but who cares?
The new iPods were nothing to ignore either — with the new Nano sporting a lovely 1.54 inch multitouch display and a little clip. The shuffle takes a step back to the old “button” style, but retains the voice functionality and the new iPod Touch brings HD Video recording, Facetime and a retina display into the game.
iTunes was updated to version 10, bringing a new interface, Ping and AirPlay into the mix along with a new icon, which people seem to hate. Last, but not least was some cool upgrades to iOS 4, which will bring wireless printing, Game Center and Ping to iDevices, along with numerous bug fixes. iOS 4.2 for iPad is on it’s way, coming in November.
Here’s the stuff we talked about
