New iPods, Cheaper iPhones, iTunes Wi-Fi

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007 | Apple News, iPhone | No Comments

Today was a busy day for Apple Inc. At the special press conference Steve Jobs unveiled a new line of iPods, which include an iPod Classic with larger storage, iPod Nano with video and coverflow, iPod shuffle in color and an all new iPod Touch. In addition, to the revamped line of iPods and the new iPod Touch with a touch screen and Wi-Fi capability, Apple reduced the price on iPod Nano by $50.

The bigger surprise of the event was that Apple slashed the price of iPhone by a whole $200. This of course is received with mixed feelings. On the one hand iPhone will be more accessible to the masses, on the other hand those who paid the higher premium feel cheated. Furthermore, the 8GB iPhone turns out to be the more popular one, and the 4GB iPhone will only be sold as long as supplies last.

If you have the time, Apple has made a video of the Special Event, which is available at apple.com. The news is also available in written form at apple.com.

There’s lots to take in and savor from today’s event. I can’t wait to lay my hands on one of them new iPods. The Nano and the Classic remind me of the Orbit gum.

I have not been fortunate enough to own the new aluminum Apple keyboard. However, I’ve read some stuff online that folks are having issues with a couple of the Function keys. Specifically, these are F3 and F4. Apple released a keyboard update, which doesn’t seem to fix the issue. However, Nik Fletcher at The Unofficial Apple Weblog has come by some instructions on how to resolve this situation. It worked for him. And it may work of your. So, instead of waiting for Apple to release another update, check out Nik’s post and take matters into your own hands.
