Apple IPOD media event podcast
Steve Jobs made his return to the public eye after having a successful liver transplant. He certainly likes his black turtlenecks!

Lots of people were quite upset that the iPod touch does not come with a video camera, but the new iPod nano does. I'm still impressed with the lower price points (through doubling it's max capacity to 64 gb. I'm going to pick one up soon!

Apple IPOD updates!!!
I've been looking forward to September 9th for some time now. Steve Jobs did a special conference revealing some new updates concerning all things iPod. There is a new 4th generation iPod nano out. They look amazing. If you have an hour to spend, here is the link to watch the conference. I ended up keeping up during a break at school on the live up to the minute blogs at engadget.com , ilounge.com, AND, gizmodo.com
Steve Jobs looked a bit thin. And what's with his jeans and weird shirt every time? Plus, as all teachers out there might have noticed, FUNNEST is not a word, Steve!
The iPod touch also got an update. PLUS a lower price point. It now features built-in exterior speakers and a volume control.
Hmmm.....sooo many decisions to make. Iphone 3G?? Ipod touch? nano?
The iPod touch will now be able to feature the Nike + iPod sport kit, where you can track your running, like a trainer! I was always interested in getting this, but never owned the Nano. Maybe this will be the motivation I need to get out there!
If you don't have one, here's how convenient it is to check your email/facebook/website through wifi at home:
Here's my previous post, shown on the iPod touch:
Size difference of iPod touch vs. my 24 inch monitor:
Soooo many people are trying to unload their brand new in box iPod touch 1st generations on Craigslist! These must be the people who got a free one for buying a Macbook! They were going for about $220 Cdn. I predict with the new pricedrop ($259 here in Canada), we'll see these new 1st gens go for about $175!
The conference ended with a performance by Jack Johnson, who, according to Jobs, is the best-selling male artist in iTunes history. It's too bad that it sounded like not too many people in the audience even knew who he was! Ironically, the event, entitled "Let's Rock", ended with Johnson playing a couple acoustic folk tunes! Even he seemed a bit out of place at the end, saying: "I'm used to twenty-something (year old) girls right here, but..." (The audience was predominantly 30+ men!) Don't get me wrong, I used to listen to him back in 2003-04...U2 would have been better!
