Today's Apple announcements

While I was busy blogging about SAP TechEd, Apple was busy releasing new stuff. No touchscreen video iPod, but a number of interesting (evolutionary) releases including a new 8GB nano which I expect I will be ordering shortly have ordered.

Dave summarizes nicely. but here's my roundup.

The iTV, a wireless media extender descibed as a "flattened Mac Mini". The iTV will be available in Q1 2007.

The 6G iPod line brings a bump to 80GB, 3.5 hours of video playback, and support for games.

The 2G Nano line, including new colors, an 8GB capacity, 24 hour battery life, and reduced pricing. The 8GB model is available only in black at a price of $249. 

A 2G Shuffle line, which makes the screenless shuffle impressively small. The new model is supposedly the size of the iPod radio remote with a 1GB capacity and will be released in October for $79.

The iTunes Movie Store, offering 640x480 movie downloads (with Dolby Surround Sound). The store launches with 70 movies. Most titles will be $9.99, with new releases costing $14.99 (or $12.99 if pre-ordered). This comes on the heels of Amazon's Unbox movie download service.
