New iTunes, iPods

Apple’s September 9th announcements were all about iTunes and the iPod. However, the new products were almost overshadowed by the fact that the presentation was headed by Steve Jobs himself. This is his first appearance in such a capacity since last year when he stopping speaking for Apple to take care of his health.
At the center of the announcements was iTunes 9, a new version of iTunes that is already available for download through Software Update on your Mac. iTunes 9 features some interface changes in how you view your library, and also a new look for the iTunes music store. New features include the ability for iTunes 9 to communicate across your home network and sync media files between computers. You also have a new interface for deciding which songs and videos sync to your iPod or iPhone. The Genius feature now includes nine mixes created from your music library that act as personal radio stations.
On the iPhone and iPod Touch, version 3.1 of the OS adds a Genius feature to the App Store app, giving you suggestions about which apps you might like. You can also no purchase major-music-label pre-made ringtones in the iTunes app.
New iPods were announced and are now on sale, including new versions of every single iPod. The iPod Touch now has a faster processor and comes in a 64GB size. The iPod Shuffle has new colors. The iPod Classic is now 160GB. The biggest change, however, is the iPod Nano, which now has a video camera, FM radio and pedometer.
All iPods except the Classic have new lower price points. Check out the Apple store for prices for each of the models. All of these new models are already in stores and on sale online.
Apple has made the entire presentation available to watch.
