I am pleased to see these colour iPods back. I have a 6GB Mini and i would have liked Apple to have made maybe a 6GB or 8GB Nano in different colours. If i get one of these new Nanos it would feel like a bit of a downgrade to me in terms of space. I guess that i would be gaining in other areas though. I do suspect though that Apple will up the hard drive capacity on these colour Nanos in the future.
It is a bit strange they way that they have done this though making all the colour ones 4GB and the 8GB the black one only.
I noticed also that they only support 10.3.9 and up all those who are using older Mac Software are going to face a bit of a problem if they want to buy one of these new Nanos.

According to the Wikipedia article, a Home Basic upgrade is only $99.95, which is cheaper than the standard $129 for OS X releases. Then again, education customers can often get Mac OS for around $70 in some cases, if I'm not mistaken. I don't know if there will be education discounts for Vista or how much they will be. With so many versions and price points for Vista and an unknown price tag for Leopard, it's very complicated to make comparisons...
Now one of the big questions is, who can get a Home Basic upgrade and how much are Home Basic users missing out on if they get that as opposed to Aero, etc.? No one knows for sure all the details at this point and we won't know for sure until official announcements are made. Although I would take OS X over Windows any day, we have to be cautious I think before saying Mac's upgrades are cheaper than Windows'. It looks like in many cases they will be, but not necessarily in all cases.
You are mixing apples and oranges here sport. Vista BASIC does not have any comparison in the Apple world. You have to compare the Premium version of Vista.

This would be a good thing if ANY of those stores actually had any iPads for sale.... As it is now they are just adding another store chain for people to check inventory :D
Doesn't matter where Apple sells its products. Better to make your products available everywhere than in just one or two specific stores. Remember: Not every city has an Apple store and can be quite a distance to the closest.

I use an ancient Handspring Visor to read ebooks and random articles I find online. The notes feature on the iPod is useless to me because it's too small. If Apple makes a decent e-reader for a big-screen iPod, it means one less thing I have to carry around with me on the train.

Precisely - see my above post. As I see it, there is still a huge gap in the product line - perhaps not in price or specs, but in fundamental design philosophy. Anyone wanting an Apple desktop is forced to buy an AIO. For many people that's fine, they don't care, perhaps they even welcome it or prefer it, but for many others it's simply not an attractive option.

Pop music sells because it's catchy, easy for people to follow, and speaks to more people at the right time.
Pop music is almost never rated due to technical musical talent. Never has, never will be. It's because the casual ear isn't listening for that. It's listening for whatever speaks to them. Pop music, thus, is rated on a completely different level.
True story. What could be Bobby Mcferrin's least technical-savvy musical piece? One done with the most simplicity and the least use of his talent happened to be "Don't worry be happy." Now I dare most people here to actually mention the name of one Bobby Mcferrin song outside of that and maybe his cover of "Baby you can drive my car." It took that simple song to make Mcferrin a temporary superstar, until he stepped out of the limelight. Obviously, the rules for what earns you awards in the Pop music culture, was not for him.
The Beatles, as they went forward. Like Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, did bring some nice *a-typical* styles to the pop-culture. There's a number of pretty big bands that actually followed that. But they never quite made it overly technical to lose people. Hitting it big in pop is something people not so great in instrument-playing can be awesome at. They just need songwriters that truly understand what the majority can truly relate to.
Then on the other side, you have Frank Zappa. Writes crazy and weird songs. Had a group with absolutely incredible musical talent, and played a lot of music that really lost the casual ear. Fun guy for technical heads to listen to, but the casual ear would not catch on. To a degree, the formula was often the opposite of catchy.

Att people will have it over wifi only while verizon will allow it on 3G. That's probably how it will play out. OTA can be pushed out by apple's servers regardless. It's up to the carriers to allow it without charging you big time for it.

Being a professional myself I remember having those fears a few years ago. In fact we lost a large client because one of the employees thought that her high school son could do the same level of work that we did. If that were true I would say shame on us, in reality the client came back to us a few months later when the kid couldn't actually produce the same level of edit quality and creativity that we do.
The price drop doesn't bother me one bit. I think if anything it does open up the door for a teenager to start learning on high end software, then by the time they've finished college and have a sense of who they are as an editor they'll be a welcome, proficient addition, to someones company. I think it serves everyone in the end.
Great post and the kind of logic that this new FCPX will bring to those wanting to get into the video production industry. I'm almost 4 years into my video editing "career" and still forward people to the pros for projects that are too much for me and ones that I know my skill level limits on. I'm excited about this new version, hoping it will expand my skills even more.

Classic ain't going anywhere until they have product that could replace it. Right now there is nothing in the lineup that is close.
Where have I heard that one before? (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/11/05/apple-discontinues-xserve-only-available-until-january-31st/)

I'm not sure about novels but I would love to be able to read articles from Time, Wired, New Yorker et cetera on my iPod. In the past I've copied them from the web and transferred them into a 'note' file for viewing on my iPod. However I'd love to be able to download them from iTunes like a podcast. 99 cents wouldn't be un-reasonable if it's a well written article and it's advertisement free.

I see them thinking that the iPod line should definitely move to a 100% touch-screen interface. However, like many people have already said, sometimes you just want a music player. I love having my entire music collection in my bag at any time with the Classic. They should keep it until they can truly beef up the capacity for the the Touch.

I guess it wouldn't make good journalism and rumors to just say Apple will do things based on user experience while other companies want to dominate specs on paper. Things we (consumers) have asked for have been added to the iPhone slowly, but the implementation is better than other devices for the most part.
Good business sense says to leave the iPad alone until next year and (finally) have a level of transparency if you next iPhone doesn't come out until the fall or later. Reason being Apple has a cycle of customers locked into a buying pattern that ensures success for years to come. One thing that could mess things up is to change the pattern now. Of course, when you are one of the big dogs arrogance is an issue and going years with one carrier wasn't the best business move.

is this really a big deal?
Seriously, The Beatles were great, I would think by now most people have their songs. How many Lp's and Cd's they sold? How many Millions.
The only positive thing from this outcome is that Apple Corps will stop filling lawsuits against Apple Computer. Besides that, I see no point as this being a big deal.

If your going to criticize the grammar your comments should be directed at Apple. Have seen the front page of apple.com?
It's perfectly acceptable form for a short, succinct advert. It isn't a large block of text. I'm not sure what you're going on about.

I think one of the main reasons Apple won't allow flash is because of Video. They don't want Hulu and other free movie sites competing with iTunes for the iPhone. At&t would also go crazy knowing that sites like UStream and Cnn live could stream live video over their network. Agree?

Here's hoping the new iPod touch won't have such a crappy camera.

This would be a welcome improvement.

Subtle ?? That's not the current iPhone interface when in a call.
It's blaring right at you.look at that iPhone.It shows the blue area at the top.Go make a call and see how it looks.
This is a new iPhone or creative license.
Looks like a normal iPhone where the display is shifted down almost midway, probably because of a bug with the display.
No cause for getting anyone's panties in a bunch.

But here's the question though: when we see protective cases for the new Nano? :confused:What do you want that for... my 2 1/2 year old iPod mini doesn't have any flaws - except a minute scratch in the screen after an unfortunate incident where that and my keys ended up in the same trouser pocket - even a tumbling down a concrete stairway didn't leave any marks... Never had any protective case on it (except for the belt clip), the minis are durable little buggers, and hopefully the new nanos will be likewise... :D
