Apple announced new iPods today, new features in upcoming versions of iOS, iTunes 10 and a new Apple TV. I go over each one and give my thoughts on each.
The New iPod Nano with video has been around for a little while now. We thought we would show you a quick overview and give you a glimpse of the video from the iPod.
The video was surprisingly impressive for such a small camera and device. The macro was better than expected and overall it is a great value-add especially if you don’t already have a nano.
Dragon dictation is a new app for your iPhone or iPod touch that allows you to record your voice and send it to MMS e-mail or copied to your clipboard. You can get the up now for free on the iTunes store for a limited time and test it out yourself. I just recorded this entire post via the app in posted exactly how it was recorded.
Try it out for yourself and let us know what you think. Click the link below or just head over to the iTunes store and typing dragon dictation.
One of the shockers of the APple event today was that the update iPod Touch was lacking a camera. The nano gets the camera, but not the Touch? This was something that was almost written in stone. Maybe it was due to supply issues? Either way they gave the Touch a price cut, but added some serious flash memory option which now go up to 64GB. They also updated the processor speeds inside the Touch. Th 8GB model is now $199, 32GB $299 and the 64GB is $399.
The rumors have been around for a few weeks that an upcoming Apple event would be coming soon. As usual Apple has chosen an early fall date to focus once again on music. We would expect a new lineup of iPods, both touch and nano and maybe even a "One More Thing" announcement. We’ll be sure to keep you posted to any other rumors around this event.
