Apple’s Rock and Roll Event

Apple announced all the new iPod and iTunes updates today, there was a lot to see but at the same time there were a few disappointments for the iPod development community.

iTunes 9

• Genius feature updated
• iTunes LP, this is the new iTunes metadata interaction, it contains lyrics, large images, chronology etc.
• Updated artist pages in the iTunes Store
• Interactive iPhone/iPod Touch layout editor

iPod Touch (no camera)

• Price dropped, most likely for the coming holiday season
• 8GB ($199) 32GB ($299) 64GB ($399)

iPod Nano

• New device, this one will contain, get this, a VIDEO CAMERA
• Anodized steel models, shipping today

iPod Shuffle

• Price drops for everything, 2GB ($59) 4GB ($79)
• Stainless Steel 4GB model for $99
• Shipping TODAY

iPod Classic

• Price cuts, starting today

Overall, not that much to celebrate, all that is notable is the Nano 5G and iTunes 9, which Jobs stated was just a “cleaner” version of iTunes 8 with a few tweaks.
