It’s Tuesday! You know what today is right? The day Apple announced new products. If you’re like me you had three monitors lined up around you with live coverage from MacRumors, iLounge, and Engadget and then a laptop constantly refreshing Apple’s website to see if they have put the products on their website yet. Now I could talk about the iTunes Movie Store and Game Store but I think that you can understand what those are (Pst! Hack the gaming capabilities to run home-brew!) so I will jump into the products.iPod Updates
Of corse, as with every Apple product I get the first update to it is a brighter screen, as it was when I bought the Powerbook, and last week with my iMac. So there’s a brighter screen and better battery in the iPods now, and also it can be bought in an 80GB version too.

iPod Nano Updates
This is awesome. As you can see with the header-image Apple has taken their nano back to the iPod Mini style! You complained about scratches, Apple listened! Sort of.. In the new iPod Nanos they are made of metal and come in colors. The 2GB comes in Silver, 4GB comes in Silver, Green, Blue, and Pink, and 8GB comes in Black. Odd choice to separate the colors though, since their all the same size physically I would love to see a modder take the green case and shove the 8GB insides inside it. Someone call MAKE Magazine.

iPod Shuffle - The Clip-le Edition
Whoa, the shuffle is now a little paper clip. The size is awesome for 1GB though. I’m curious of how it connects because from what I can see there is no dock-connector or USB plug on it. It does look as though it uses the earphone jack to charge but I am not sure. I am surprised to see it have a grey case and no option of color like with the iPod nano.

Now excuse me while I go drool.
