Apple is taking over the entertainment industry, I really love the iPod and iTunes.

The new Nano and Shuffle look great, they need to get a new name for iTv because theres already ITV
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITV ).

I don't think iTv is an issue, simply because iTv is a television provider, where as ITV is a television network in England.

There would still be confusion, and that is where legal problems can occur, when there is a chance people would get the two confused. So ITV Toasters wouldn't be much of a problem to ITV, but iTV would.

Anyway, Steve said iTV is a temp name.

Heh, they changed the iTunes logo. The musical note, the 'quaver', is now blue instead of green.

The new iTunes has firmware updating built in now, you click the iPod button and you get a swish info screen instead of the old list of tracks.

These look great.  I was going to get a new ipiod later this year and this makes me want to get it right now.  They all looks so good.  I think it is going to be too easy for people to lose the new shuffle though with it being so small (I know I probably would).  Go apple :P

EDIT: it would be better if one of them had a usb connection in it so that it was easier to use as a usb key like the 1st gen. shuffle but I guess that would take more room and it wouldnt look as good.

Yeah, I prefer that... They're updated the QuickTime logo aswell.

I'm updating my iPod at the moment, it's just installing 1.2 :).

kinna offtopic but not if you know what i mean:)

"Free SpiralFrog to Challenge iTunes Model"

SpiralFrog, the new music download destination, has signed an agreement with Universal Music Group (UMG), the world's leading music company, to make UMG's extensive catalog available for legal downloading in the U.S. and Canada via SpiralFrog's advertising-supported service.

SpiralFrog will offer users of its no-cost web-based service the ability to legally download music by many of the world's most popular and award-winning artists.

"Offering young consumers an easy-to-use alternative to pirated music sites will be compelling," said Robin Kent, SpiralFrog's CEO. "SpiralFrog will offer those consumers a better experience and environment than they can get from any pirate site." Kent highlighted some key factors - legal digital files with no viruses or spyware in a controlled client-server architecture, quick downloading, and quality songs and music videos by great artists as among the primary benefits users will gain.

so basically free music ..with adds visible on your screen while you download.apparently you wont be able to use I.tunes I pod etc ..you will only be able to put the songs on Mp3 non apple players..

Nah, I have the 30gb iPod Video, my favourite update is when you fast-scroll the letters of where you want to scroll to come up in the centre of the screen...

The zune is something that really appeals to me though, I just love it already!
