This past Wednesday, Steve Jobs (in a long-sleeved black crewneck, for variety’s sake) held our attention relatively well for one and a half hours talking about shiny, new Apple stuff. In a nutshell, shiny new Apple stuff includes:
- Shiny new iPods!
As in, an iPod Touch (“an iPhone without the phone”), touchscreen Nano, and the exceedingly microscopic Shuffle - Shiny new Ping!
Oh, and iTunes Version 10 has a cool new logo. Ping, says Jobs, “[is] a social network for music. It’s like Facebook and Twitter meets iTunes. It’s all about music.” - Shiny new Apple TV!
Apple TV initially launched in 2006, but it ended up the Jan Brady of Apple products: no one cared. (“Not a big hit,” read Steve’s Keynote slide.) Basically, Apple TV streams television shows and movies to your computer and real TV (if you still have one of those outdated machines) for a low, low price per show or movie.
And then a not-so-shiny Chris Martin came out and pounded on some piano keys, because “we love music,” Jobs says.
