Well it seems as yesterday, Augest 7th was Apple day. They just decide to put out everything they could. First and most importantly the iPod nano, then the ROKR, and updates to iTunes and Quicktime on Windows.
The iPod nano
Well here it is just like I previously posted, color screen, 2 and 4 gig flash drives, but now its ultra thin. That is just a little thinner then a pencil. Most intresting about the nano is that this is Apples replacement for the mini. It looks just like the standard ipod, and has all of the same funcionality. The only thing is, that the mini is still a great player and you can get the six gig mine for the price of the 4 gig nano. Of course it is flash and that does have its benifits.
The Motorolla ROKR
After months and months of rumors, and fake images all over the internet the ROKR has been announced. Basicly it has the iPod type interface on a Motorolla cell phone. And of course it plays 100 songs. We all want more but it is a full blown cell phone. It looks nice but it might just be better to get a treo and a big memory stick. The phone says it has i tunes but its very scaled down. As for iTunes, version 5.o just came out. It comes with parental controls, a bunch of bug fixes, and a new cleaner and nicer interface. Also Quicktime 7 has offiaclly been released for windows. Basicly it allows playback in h.264, wich the preview version has had for the last few months. Thats it for Apple right now but there should be a small update to the power books in the next few weeks.
