The NEW iPod Family

I waited for Apple's September keynote address and this is what Mr. Jobs presented

The NEW iPod family. The only iPod that did not have a facelift is the shuffle. There is also a new member of the family, iPod Touch.

Personally, I am attracted to the iPod nano (now with video) and the iPod touch.

I love the nano's size and the fact that it now has the capability to play videos. It comes in 4gb and 8gb.What I like about the iPod touch is its design. It's an iPhone without the cellular phone capability and the camera. This iPod can surf the net. It has a built-in wifi and it has safari installed in it. It comes in 8gb and 16gb.

These are the new colors of shuffle.


The regular iPod now known as the iPod "Classic." It still comes in black and white. It has a full metal design and can now store as much as 160gb!
Apple's (product) red line now includes shuffle. It not bloody red anymore. It sorta looks maroonish. Every purchase of a (product) red item would give a donation to the global fund to fight AIDS in Africa.

Watch the Keynote Address.

Apple also lowered the iPhone's price. It is now $200 cheaper than its first release. A lot of people with iPhones complained so Steve Jobs is giving those who already have an iPhone a $100 rebate. Read his open letter.

Another eye candy in the new all-in-wonderful iMac. It is thinner than the old one. Even the keyboard lost weight! Minimal wires. No clutter.


Now this is something I have been waiting for for the longest time. No announcement yet on the exact date of the release of OS X Leopard. It has a lot of promising features. The dock has been redesigned. The finder is easier to use since it is similar to iTunes. It is also easier to preview files with the addition of Quicklook. Can't wait for its release. Hopefully Apple would have this out by October, just in time for my birthday. :)


Yeah I know, how geeky...
