The OC Technophile

Yesterday brought us a ton of Apple news regarding iTunes, iPod’s, Geniuses, and new earphones. But was it more hype than substance?

The new iTunes 8 was released and while interesting, didn’t really unveil that much in new features. Ok, visualizations are nice, but the main addition was a feature called genius, where it samples your music selection and gives you advice on new music. We tried it, and while it works, isn’t perfect…

The new iPod Nano and Touch units were also unveiled and while thinner and lighter, just offered a few new features and lower prices.

Did it rock as the event title stated? It was a mellow list of updates and releases in our opinion. What’d you think? Leave it in the commments…

Several blogs including gizmodo and engadget have shown the picture of what claims to be the latest iPod nano that’ll be released on September 9th, during Apple’s media event. It appears to be a longer, thinner nano with a large video screen. Check it out and see for yourselves… Enjoy
