Apple Announces New iPods, iTunes 10, Social Network, AppleTV

Steve Jobs gave his iPod keynote this morning. He started with iOS 4.1 and Game Center which will be coming out next week. iOS 4.2 will add printing to the iPad and will be out in November. The new iPod Shuffle has buttons again, and costs $49. The new iPod Nano has a tiny multi-touch screen, and an FM radio, and starts at $149. The new (thinner) Touch has the iPhone 4 screen, an A4 chip, and FaceTime over WiFi, starting at $229 for 8GB. They all ship next week. iTunes 10 looks the same, but adds a social network called "Ping," which basically looks like Last.fm integrated, and should be out today. AppleTV is updating: 1/4th the size, no purchases — only rentals. 99 cents for TV rentals (ABC & Fox), Netflix on Demand built in, and for $99.

    No one mentioned that unless you are on OSX snow leopard or IOS using safari that you cannot even watch the announcement.

    I see Apple is now preaching to the converted.

    No I believe that it is only acceptable if it is negative of Apple. It is quite okay to criticize an Apple device for not doing something. For example "my Apple TV does not wash my dishes. What the hell is up with that?" but it isn't okay to say "my ipad doesn't wash my dishes because it doesn't have water connections and no other tablet does either." I am not totally up on the rules right now though, you may want to ask the Apple trolls.

    I don't have cable and haven't for ages, but you just made me want to give Time Warner money just so that Apple loses.
