New iPods announced

[daft]

Summary
- the new touch has front & back cameras with mic, pretty much the same thing as iphone4 w/o gps and phone
- nano is much smaller and lighter. no buttons (touch screen), no camera, no video playback
- no more ipod classics

 

[Don Carlos]

No more Classics? ****. I hope they ******* upped the storage on touches to accommodate...

 

[Piobaire]

Yeah, wonder if there's going to be a run in Classics. 180 gig, RIP.

 

[holymadness]

Classic still exists.

The new ipods are much less interesting than:

1. Apple TV
2. AirPlay
3. Ping

yo dog: i heard you like cameras, so i put a camera on your camara so you can take pics while you take pics

 

[daft]

Newest Touch tops out at 64 gigs. ******* annoying. Rumor has it Apple is doing away with storage altogether, eventually, while implementing a cloud storage system for iTunes. No doubt this will involve having to maintain wifi or cell connectivity to access, and no doubt it will come at the cost of some obnoxiously high carrier data fee per month, like the iPad's. No thank you.

The new iPod Touch only shoots photos at 960x720. What the **** is that?

I think that's the equivalent of 1 MP. Maybe 1.5.

If that Apple TV would have access to more networks (I'm sure they'll come) and have a slot for a cable tuner card, along with memory, then it would sell like hot cakes.

My 180 and 80 gig classics ain't broke yet. Why bother.

The new Nano is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

 

[Rambo]

The Classics are still being produced. Apple TV is a giant turd now that Amazon announced their 99c TV shows are purchases not rentals.
