Which Apple Announcement Are You the Most Excited About?

It was a busy day in SF yesterday with all eyes on the "It's Only Rock and Roll" event.

It was a busy day in SF yesterday with all eyes on the "It's Only Rock and Roll" event. Not only did Steve Jobs made his triumphant, black turtlenecked return to the keynote stage after taking time off for his health, but iTunes 9 was introduced, and then there were the iPods. Oh, the video and FM tuner enabled iPods. Plus, who could forget the monster capacity bump to 160GB on the iPod Classic and new candy-colored iPod Shuffles? My head is spinning.

Personally, I'm pretty excited about the iPod Nano's video function (which shoots at VGA quality 640x480), as well as the integrated Nike + pedometer. I mean, hello — a geek's gotta stay in shape! Now share your favorites — which Apple announcement are you most excited about?

Steve Jobs, a New Nano, and Cheaper, More Colorful Shuffles!

Where do I begin?!

Where do I begin?! This morning at Apple's "It's Only Rock and Roll" Event here in San Francisco, it was all about the music (a new and improved iTunes) and the iPod (new shuffles, a better iPod Classic, and a new Nano with a builtin video camera to compete with the Flip). Sites like Gizmodo and Engadget were there to catch all of the live coverage, so here's a quick recap . . . And yes, Steve Jobs opened the keynote to receive a standing ovation from the audience.


The new iPod Nano is here! Boasting a camera that will capture video (with sound) and still images, the new Nano will replace that clunky video cam you used to lug around. Available today in a variety of bright colors, the fifth generation Nano will cost $149 for the 8GB and $179 for the 16GB.

Apple Is Indeed Planning a Keynote For Sept. 9

Looks like the rumored Apple keynote is going to happen on Sept.

Looks like the rumored Apple keynote is going to happen on Sept. 9 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, here in San Francisco.

The festivities will kick off at 10 a.m. PDT, and although it's highly unlikely the new tablet will be announced, we'll probably see the new iPod line (the ones with built-in cameras) and maybe an appearance by Mr. Apple himself, Steve Jobs?
