Lots of announcements from Apple yesterday, from iPods to social networking services, but I left feeling like something was missing.

5 Reasons to Love the New iPod Nano
One of the most exciting parts of yesterday's new iPod announcement was the introduction of a completely redesigned iPod Nano ($149). Gone is the traditional Apple click wheel — the iPod Nano now features a large multitouch screen to organize and play your favorite music.
I was impressed and to prove it, here are five reasons it's worth preordering a new iPod Nano:
- It's smaller, lighter, and more portable than any other Nano.

5 Reasons to Get the New Apple TV (and 3 Reasons to Skip It)
Apple introduced its new Apple TV yesterday, and although this new device won't be a suitable replacement for your cable subscription, it does offer an easy way to rent new flicks and popular TV shows.

Chris Martin Performs at the Apple Event in SF
It's tradition to have a performance by a popular artist at the end of the Fall Apple event, and although we made our guesses, we were not disappointed about who actually made the appearance. Not only was The Woz in attendance of today's presentation, but Chris Martin also hit the stage with a piano to perform some tunes. We were treated to one of my fave Coldplay songs, "Yellow," and Chris gave some major props to Apple for pushing Viva la Vida into the stratosphere.
One More Thing . . . Apple TV
Steve Jobs's "one more thing" turned into a lesson on why the Apple TV wasn't working before — people don't want to worry about computers, storage, and syncing at home. They just want to watch TV. His solution?
Apple Announces iTunes 10 and New Social Feature, Ping
Today, Apple announced iTunes 10, one of the biggest overhauls of the service so far. iTunes 10 will not only come with a new logo, but will also be stocked with a cool new feature called Hybrid View, which shows album artwork within your music lists. The rumored social network integration is a rumor no more, as Ping, a social network for music, was unveiled as well.
Brand-New iPod Shuffle, Nano, and Touch Available For Preorder Now
During today's Apple event, Steve Jobs announced all new designs for every iPod — the biggest design overhaul in iPod history.
iPod Shuffle
The latest Shuffle is a combination of all of the best features from the previous three models; while the last version of the Shuffle was missing buttons, the newest version brings back the familiar controls from the second-generation shuffle, but in a smaller, more compact design. The newest Shuffle also features all of the loved features from the most recent generation: voice over that tells you what you're listening to and when the battery needs to be charged, and playlists (including the introduction of Genius Playlists) that sort your music for easy listening on the go.
New Updates in iOS 4.1 and Details on iOS 4.2
Steve Jobs began today's Apple presentation by introducing the new features in iOS 4.1. This update comes with lots of new bug fixes but also allows HD video to be uploaded over WiFi, TV show rentals, a new game center, and HDR photos (high dynamic range), which bring your photos to life.
