What happened to our favourite devices: Ipod Shuffle: Ipod shuffle did get some upgrade in hardware. 2GB shuffle available at $59 4GB as usual at $79 A new stainless steel edition now available at $99 And pink, blue and green colours have been added in addition to black and grey models. Ipod Classic Ipod classic only gets a capacity bump, 120GB to 160GB at the same $249.
Ipod Nano: this is the one that surprised us. The nano now has a video camera, a mic and a speaker, plus a slightly bigger 2.2 inch screen in a body thats still ultra thin. Theres an FM radio with live pause and iTunes tagging, a pedometer and VoiceOver too. 8GB at $149, 16GB at $179, nine colours.
Ipod Touch: 8GB is now $199, and the 32GB and 64GB sit at $299 and $399 with upto 50 percent faster performance. But no camera here at all. A camera on the nano and not on the one with the big screen and the App Store ??
iTunes 9 is out as well, with Home Sharing, Genius Mixes and the new iTunes LP format, and you can finally arrange your iphone apps inside iTunes. And Steve Jobs was back on stage after his liver transplant. “I’m vertical. I’m back at Apple. Loving every day of it,” he said. Good to see him there.
