A Recap of the Apple "Rock and Roll" Event

Posted by Media Mogul On 11:05 PM


First off, YAY for Steve Jobs' official return. Thanks in advance to CNET Asia for the recap. Check out the details after the jump:


1. iPhone 3.1

  • Genius for the app store - will suggest apps like the genius feature for creating playlists in itunes
  • Ringtone can now be purchased through the iTunes store @$1.29 each, 30k ringtones available now
  • (i just sent my iPhone off to be replaced... won't get to try this for another week)
2. iTunes 9
  • Genius Mixes - Endless genius playlist that goes on and on and on
  • Improved syncing with addition of syncing songs by artist and genre and photos by events rather than just albums
  • Ability to arrange app pages/screen layout from itunes (finally!!!)
  • Home Sharing - Copy and share content between up to 5 computers
  • Redesigned store with cleaner layout
  • iTunes LP - All the goodies that you used to get when making a physical purchase of music media (lyrics, artwork, photos, videos, "inserts", etc...)
  • send "gift" purchases directly to Facebook/twitter
  • iTunes extras - the stuff that you used to get with a DVD purchase but did not get with an iTunes download (commentary, deleted scenes, interactive material, etc...)

3. iPod Touch

  • New games announced and demoed for the iPod Touch
  • Price dropped to $199 for the 8GB model
  • $299 for 32GB
  • $399 for 64GB
  • Open GL 2.0
  • 32GB & 64GB getting a 50% speed bump up
  • Looks the same as current generation itouches

4. iPod Classic

  • Thinner
  • Capacity increased to 160GB for same $249 price

5. iPod Shuffle

  • 2GB down to $59
  • 4GB @ $79
  • Pink, green, blue, silver & black

6. iPod Nano

  • 8GB @ $149
  • 16GB @ $179
  • Integrated video camera + mic (!!!)
  • integrated speaker
  • Pedometer
  • Genius Mix
  • Built in FM radio (receiver)"
The only thing we're truly excited about is the improvements to iTunes and the new nano with camera, mic, and FM radio receiver. And of course the price drops are always a plus. None of the other news really wowed us. Ringones? I'm still flabbergasted that people actually spend money on ringtones when you can make them for $free.99 in under 2 minutes. Oh, and did we mention Steve Jobs is back. Now lets hurry up with the iPhone 4G so we can really get excited.
