Announcements from the Apple “It’s Only Rock and Roll” event.

Besides new iPod Touches, Nanos, and update to iTunes, the biggest highlight of the event is that Steve Jobs presented it.

iPod Touch – No design updates. Apple dropped the price of the 8GB model to $199. The 32GB and new 64GB models have a new processor that is 50% than the old one.

iPod Nano – Same design. Same price. New features include a built in pedometer, FM tuner and a camera that only takes video.

iPod Classic and Shuffle – Some minor changes. Apple also added a new special edition iPod Shuffle.

iTunes 9 was announced. Big features are better organization for content, apps, as well as in the store. They also added a new feature called Home Sharing.

iPhone software 3.1 was announced. No major changes, but you can now buy ringtones on the phone and there is a genius feature for Apps.

Not part of the event, but Snow Leopard 10.6.1 is out.
