Hey,

the apple special event was a real let down, no new ipod, no iphone and no video streaming box.

<b>What actually was announced:</b>

<b>rev on ipod nano</b>
<a href="http://images.apple.com/home/2006/images/ipodnanohero20060912.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://images.apple.com/home/2006/images/ipodnanohero20060912.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>
the went back the to the ipod-mini style case( the way i like it), bumped the storage, dropped the price, made it smaller and put in some better batteries. the black one looks sweet.

<b>rev on ipod 5gen</b>
<a href="http://images.apple.com/ipod/images/indextopb20060912.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://images.apple.com/ipod/images/indextopb20060912.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>
Not the video ipod we all wanted,
comes with longer battery, more hard disk space some new software. nothing earth shattering.
they have also dropped the price a little bit.

<b>rev on ipod shuffle </b>
<a href="http://images.apple.com/ipodshuffle/images/indextop20060912.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://images.apple.com/ipodshuffle/images/indextop20060912.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>
the new shuffle is really cool looking and smaaaaallllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!, love it!!
kind of reminds me of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/20/steve-jobs-presents-the-ipod-invisa-on-snl/">Saturday night live video</a> with steve jobs.

<b>new version of iTunes and iTms</b>
<a href="http://images.apple.com/itunes/overview/images/overview_hero2006912.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://images.apple.com/itunes/overview/images/overview_hero2006912.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>

Well you can't expect them to announce something big every week ;)

Mac Pro --> iMac --> iPod --> next? Oh yeah, MacBook Pro :P

I really like the new itunes. It's got less gloss, and the new views are nice. It even downloaded all the album art for me.

The new shuffle is tiny ... the new "ipod lost" :)

I like how they did the 80GB and even dropped the price. $50 Cheaper and added 20GB. Not a bad deal. I am going to trade my current 30GB in at work and buy the 80GB. $50 more dollars and I get 50GB more. HEHE Not a bad deal there. Would make a nice little external HDD as well.

The new iTunes I do like. As for the artwork I get my own through iTunesCatalog. I believe I was reading to get Artwork through iTunes you have to have an account setup and all and I am not registering my credit card through it for Artwork. The new views are nice. And it even scrolls smooth through them unlike WMP10 did with its view similar to it.
