Today at Apple’s annual September iPod event they unveiled a full new line of iPods. Before I get into detail about those I also want to mention that iOS 4.1 for the iPhone and iPod touch will be available this week. Other than Game Centre being added it’s mostly bug fixes. 4.2 is coming in November for the iPad with all of the new features like multitasking. First Apple introduced the new iPod shuffle. The original buttons have been re added and of course voice over is still their as well. The iPod nano has been literally cut in half. The click wheel is gone and has been replaced with an incredible multitouch screen with icons which you can interact with much like and iOS device. The new iPod nano is only slightly larger than the iPod shuffle. Apple also introduced its new iPod touch which by popular demand has been suited up with an HD camera on the back as well as a front facing camera for FaceTime. As far as looks, it’s still the same silver back and now has the incredible retina display and is much thinner. We thought that was all but it wasn’t.
Apple also gave us a new Apple TV 1/4 the size of the original. Along with that, TV shows from ABC and FOX are now only 99 cents. No iOS on the Apple TV as rumours mentioned. Finally, Apple brought iTunes 10 which features music social networking in what they’re calling “Ping”. There is far too much to talk about as usual. The new iPods are available online now and in stores 1 week from now. Visit the Apple
website for full details. We tweeted about the event as it happened live,
