iPods, iTunes, iTV, Oh My!

At Apple's "It's Showtime!" Press event today, they Steve-o introduced several new products including new nano (2 gig-$149-Aluminum, 4 gig-$199-Aluminum, Blue,Green, Pink, 8 gig-$249-Black) and an updated video (60% brighter screen!) at $249 and $349 for the 30 and 80 gig respectively.  Also, a new 1 gig "ultra small" shuffle at $79.

  

iTunes 7 shows the silent removal of "music" from the iTunes Music Store name and the addition of movies to it.  Also many UI and other improvments are included.

Among other things, Steve also introduced a device code-named "iTV", a Mac-Mini-esque set-top device for all of your iTunes media.

The great folks at engadget have a much better summary of "It's Showtime!" including some minute-by-minute facts.

"We Will Never Forget"

I'd like to take a moment to thank all of the men and women serving our country and protecting our freedom.  I would also like to commemerate the sixth anniversary of the Attacks on America on September 11, 2001.  We Will Never Forget all of the great people who were lost on that day.

Please take a moment today to reflect and honor everyone who has lost their life for our great nation.

Thank You.
