Let's Rock

Well iTunes 8:

\

Quote:

Today they’re adding HD TV Shows. $2.99 for HD shows, $1.99 for regular SD shows. You can watch them on Apple TV and your computer.

Quote:

The store has 8.5 million songs, 125k podcasts, 30k episodes of TV shows, 2.6k Hollywood movies and 3k applications for iPhone and iPod touch

iTunes 8:
"in iTunes 8, you can now browse albums by albums cover, and toggle Albums, Artists, Genres and Composers in the tabs at the top. Ex: for any artist, you can scan through all their albums if you scrub over their icon, just like in iPhoto."

"Genius: “Automatically make playlists from songs in your library that go great together - with just one click.” Essentially the rumor that we had before, with iTunes automatically making a playlist based on what music you already listen to."

I'm actually quite interested in iTunes 8, there is some nifty features!

Now we’re moving on to the iPod. In July, the iPod has a 73.4% marketshare in the US.

Quote:

iTunes 8 is available today at Apple.com.

Quote:

Sandisk has 8.6%, Microsoft has 2.6%, and “Other” is 15.4%. Not too bad, Microsoft.

iPod Classic: currently, it’s being offered in thin and thick: 80GB and 160GB. The 80GB is being upgraded to 120GB, and the 160GB is being discontinued. Same as the Zune.

NEW IPOD IS HERE.

Quote:

The iPod nano is next. They’re going through the generations of iPod nano, saying that the 2nd gen (tall and silver) was much beloved. But the third had video.

-----------------------------

Quote:

The new nano: it’s exactly what we’ve seen. Skinny, rounded, and a lot like the 2nd gen Nanos. Portrait aspect ratio plus the exact same resolution display. It’s oval, and just as tall as the iPod Nano 2G.

Quote:

The front is curved glass, it’s the “thinnest iPod ever”, has an enhanced user interface plus an Accelerometer. The body is curved aluminum. You can create Genius playlists directly on the nano.

Quote:

While the music is playing, he can rotate the nano sideways to get coverflow mode (like the Touch and iPhone). Apple definitely took a lot of design elements from the two touchscreen devices to make this.

Quote:

Battery life: 24 hours music, 4 hours video. Jobs reiterates that it’s the thinnest iPod ever.

http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/ipod...letsrock48.jpg

Quote:

$149 for the 8GB model, $199 for the 16GB model.

They’re also announcing accessories including headphones and armbands. The headphone, actually, has an in-band control feature to have volume control, playback control (next, prev, play pause) from the button. There’s also a microphone on the back that works with the voice recording app. These will be $29 next month.

Quote:

Apple’s also announcing a new in-ear headphones, with two drivers each (woofer + tweeter) and will be $79. Jobs says “they finally got it right this time”, which is good because the old in-ear ones kind of suck.

The iPod Touch is also being redesigned. The Touch now is thinner, with a contoured steel design. What’s the same? a 3.5-inch display, accelerometer, 802.11b/g and the app store. What’s different? An integrated volume control on the side, a speaker, and Genius playlist creation.

Nike+ now built in:

Anyway, as much as I disliked the nano to begin with - Im swayed - It looks VERY nice in all these colours and I might consider getting one (Gah, I say this about everything!)

And im on the opposite side. Touch = Mank. Nano = Sex. If the new touch had a glossy or aluminum back, It would be better, that mirrored metal is horrible.

I will be using my touch for Jailbreak and stuff :)

Yeah the next event isn't for sometime? I believe there is a rumor for an event in October for the MacBooks and whatever else, although we may have to wait for WWDC 2009! There is something about the new iPod Nanos I like :P
