Today's Keynote

During today's Keynote, Steve Jobs announced a bunch of new products. Here's a short sum-up of the event:
-New iTunes 8 now offers browsing by cover albums and new genius playlists: make automatic playlists from songs in your library that go great together. NBC is back on iTunes.
-The new iPod classic goes to 120GB and can hold 30,000 songs while the 160GB version has been discontinued.
Price is $249.
-The iPod Nano gets a new skinny look, oval shape, with a larger screen. It gets new features such as voice recording and shake it to start shuffle. It's the thinnest iPod ever and a good point is that it's environementally friendly with arsenic free glass, and the fact that it's mercury and PVC free. New headphones have in-band controls for volume and playback control from a button. It's available in a nice range of colors: silver, black, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, violet, but no white.
Prices are $149 for the 8GB and $199 for the 16GB.
-The new iPod Touch is thinner as well and redesigned with a nice steel contour. It features volume control on the side and a speaker. It now has a Nike+iPod buit in receiver and can manage the new genius playlists. A whole bunch of new games for the Touch are available via the App Store.
New software is 2.1 and the update from 1.x will cost you $9.95. (free for the 2.0 owners)
Prices are $229 for the 8GB, $299 for the 16GB and $399 for the 32GB.

Finally, we, HardMac team, would like to express our sincere apology for the live coverage we were unable to produce tonight.
Be sure we'll try to do way better next time.
