The much talked about Apple event turned out to be an all iPod affair with a slew of new, cheaper versions of the worlds most popular portable music player.
Important announcements include the the curtailing of the iPod classic line up. There would now only be a 120GB version of the iPod classic available. That's sad news for us storage freaks who might now want to get hold of the 160 GB version available now. As for the Nano, (not our Singur wala) the fourth iteration of the device seems to be a step in the right direction. An 8 GB and 16 GB version has been announced with a larger screen, accelerometer and is on sale now-- and yes, its the thinnest iPod ever. With the accelerometer addition, the Nano now supports “shake” control and screen orientation change.
The iPod Shuffle line up too has seen a new lease of life with mere cosmetic additions. The capacity remains the same – 1 and 2GB respectively. The only change being the possible addition of new, vibrant colors this holiday season.
Apart from that, there has been minor updates to the iPod touch and the launch of iTunes 8
Nothing groundbreaking here – not that i'm disappointed. But hell.
