Yesterday’s announcements from Apple were rather eventful and tumultuous since many people are upset over the price cut on the iPhone. I’m not going to give an opinion either way because I work at Apple so I don’t want any posts regarding it. Take sides at a rumor site.
Instead, I want to focus on the good news since it easily outweighed everything else: new colors for the Shuffle (pastels); improved Nanos which can now play videos and with them having Flash Memory (similar to RAM), they’re faster; and a 160 GB iPod, now renamed Classic. Sweet, Apple has come up with an iPod capable of storing my entire CD collection…for now. The coolest one in the bunch is the iPod Touch which has the all the cool features of the iPhone without the phone and EDGE elements. I’m really tempted to get it as my fifth iPod because it’ll be a longer lasting (battery wise) iPod and the closest thing to a useful PDA through its Wi-Fi.
Update Sep. 7, 2007: I saw this on the teleprompter part of CNN when I walked into the credit union but Apple posted something tangible.
