[Craig S]

TWiT TV has confirmed that the iPhone headphone jack remains on top. So that rumor was wrong.

Implementation, integration and details matter.

Gotta wait over a month for the new iTunes. Odd.

 

[Craig S]

And the new Nano has gotten bigger again. The era of the iPod watch is over.

Bluetooth in the Nano. Finally!!

 

[Sam Posten]

I've never owned a nano. I'm getting two of these!

 

[Sam Posten]

That iPod nano would make a BADASS form factor for an iPhone nano! hmmmm!

 

[mattCR]

I think the one thing that really went wrong here is that Apple didn't keep any secrets.. almost everything here was stuff we've known for weeks now.. so there was no "magic" of a surprise.. I'm waiting for a "one more thing" but I don't know what it would be

 

[Ronald Epstein]

That Nano looks cooool, must admit.

3GS is killed.

In the US, on contract-subsidized, for sure. It will be interesting to see what gets sold unlocked/no contract worldwide. If Apple doesn't go below the up till now $349(?) full cost price of the 3GS until today, they are ceding the entire low end smartphone market to Android. Maybe that's the plan, but...

 

[Craig S]

I've owned every model of the Nano except the "fatty". I'll be adding this one to the collection.

 

[Nelson Au]

This is the first real product launch without Steve Jobs in a sense. Yes, there was a few others with Cook. But this is a big one and highly anticipated. And without Jobs, sure the magic is lost. And the control he had at Apple helped keep the secrets. I suppose this is the new Apple now. The same, but not the same.
I like the new Nano too! And I'm in for the new iPhone 5. These products may have been the very last to have had Job's input or some input and some blessing. This is how I sort of look at them.

I'm not disapointed, but I do miss the secrecy. Doesn't matter what they released, if you know all of the info prior to the date then it's not going to be "exciting".

Hardware secrecy is no longer possible -- they can't build the 20 million iPhones they need to stock up the launch in secret. Software secrecy is slightly more possible -- did anyone predict the new iTunes UI?

 

[Craig S]

A really nice update for the iPod Touch.

 

[Craig S]

Uh oh. EarPods!!

[COLOR= rgb(24, 24, 24)]Yes, really impressed with it. This was a nice iPod refresh.[/COLOR]

 

[Craig S]

Speculation on TWiT TV: Where do you fit an iPod mini pricewise given the iPod Touch price range up through $399??

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Can we get new iMacs in the next
20 minutes pleeeese?

 

[Craig S]

And the Foo Fighters take the stage, so we're done.

I really think new iMacs will just show up some Tuesday morning in the next few weeks after an Apple Store outage.

 

[Steve_Tk]

Maybe iMacs with mini iPad? Would love a nana with bluetooth. Wish it had GPS too for running
