iPod nano, iTunes 5, iTunes Phone

Posted by Zonk on from the lots-of-apple-to-chew dept.

adpowers writes "Lots of updates today on the Apple front. First we have the iPod nano, which is an iPod photo-esque replacement for the iPod mini. It comes in 2 and 4 gig varieties and is half the thickness of the mini it replaces. A new iTunes is release as well, which looks similar to Mail.app. I'm not sure I like the cosmetic changes. It also touts an improved search bar, but I can't find an explanation of what that means. Finally, Apple, Motorola, and Cingular announced the ROKR E1, which has the iTunes on a cellular phone. (Theorized last week.) It syncs with iTunes just like an iPod." Coverage of the Apple news extravaganza available at The NYT, Forbes, Gizmodo, Mobiledia, and Macworld.

    That is singlehandedly the most well-thought-out troll post ever. My hat is off to you, Mr. AC.

    Apple is quite clever with their pricing. $100 to start, then every $50 after that doubles the storage (or even better). The last upgrade is $100, but then you go from 20GB to 60. At that point, another $100 would buy you a Mac Mini. Another $100 after that gets you a Mini with an iPod Shuffle, and you are back where you started!
