Apple announcements!

The Nano was just one of the changes Apple introduced to its iPod line on Wednesday. The company also cut the price on its entry-level 8GB iPod Touch to $199; previously, that model sold for $229. In addition, Apple boosted the capacity on the Touch to 64GB. The 32GB and 64GB models are now 50 percent faster and feature support for the Open GL|ES 2.0 graphics API.


The new iPod comes in 8GB and 16GB models, priced at $149 and $179, respectively. The music players now feature a video camera and microphone on the back of the device, along with a built-in speaker. The Nano can display video or sync it back to your computer for uploading to YouTube

As for the iPod Shuffle, it comes in new colors. The 2GB and 4GB models sell for $59 and $79, respectively; a special-edition 4GB model made of stainless steel costs $99.


Finally, Apple released a minor update to its iPhone software. iPhone 3.1 rolls out some bug fixes in addition to extending the Genius media-recommendation algorithm to recommend iPhone apps to users. The update also beefs up the iPhone OS’s ringtone capabilities

Just wondering if the older nano's will drop in price to clear out the shelves for the new ones.

I have the new 4GB iPod Shuffle. It's awesome. The controls are on the headphones, and there is a voice that can tell you what you are listening to (you have to press and hold a button for it to speak). It's also tiny so it's extra convenient to carry. I love it!

So did they make any upgrades to the 8g ipod touch?

That is great news. Ds's 5th gen video ipod's harddrive died last month. It would have been 4 years old this christmas. He definitely wants a new ipod for christmas but can't decide if he wants another classic for storage (since he loved audiobook) or whether he wants an itouch (he loves playing with mine). With the camera feature on the new nano, his decision might be more difficult now.

You can buy a refurbished model also. It just means someone bought it, and returned it. I bought a 60 gig I-POD for my DH a couple of years ago. The I-Touch, 32 gig,2nd generation is $299 I believe. Which is this year's model.You go to Apple, then the Store,then scroll to the bottom and look for refurbished.
