The new Nano looks like a little iTouch, hehe. It looks quite cool. Will have to wait until my current one kicks the bucket to get a new one though.

New iPod Nano is nice. Good direction to take that product.
New iPod Touch is nice. After my family got an iPad I've wanted an iOS device. I'll probably buy one of these since it's basically the iPhone 4 without a radio. The camera is a nice bonus.

But the biggest thing is the Apple TV in my view. I predicted something like this two years ago in July 2008.

Granted the only difference is that I said you'd be able to access your old content via UPC code rather than 99 cent rental. The rental model is great especially for HD movies. It's also nice that media can be streamed from another iOS device or computer. My only concern is for people outside the US who don't have Netflix. Aside from that the other networks just need to jump onboard.

Also there's iTunes Ping. I haven't got the software update notification for my iTunes yet.

I so want the new iPod :D But I'll wait until my birthday or Christmas to get it for myself though I do still enjoy my current one a lot. Whether I buy it or not mainly depends on the shade of green :P

TV Rentals for .99 made me laugh, especially finding out you can BUY the episodes for the same price from Amazon.

overall, the products look nice though. Not sure why you'd need multitouch on a 1"x1" square, but whatever. Considering a new ipod touch to replace my 1g, but for the price I'd rather get a netbook.. Definitely the best revision yet vs other features introduced to the iPod Touch line.

I still like things that come in bigger sizes than standard nano. :( I'd rather have a brick size iPod myself. Things will be so small one day that you will need a magnifying lens and soon a microscope to see it anymore.

In the 90's there was a race to get the smallet cellphone or whatever electronic you wanted... That ended a while ago for most things, but it looks like it's coming back in other avenues.

I agree, my phone (iPhone 3G :oops: ) is about the smallest sized phone/music player etc that I would carry around with me unattached to something like a lanyard(I put my house key and flash drives and stuff on my lanyard). I would just be afraid of losing it so much...

I mean, I understand a need for things to be compact and portable, but honestly, the smaller something gets, the harder it is to use. A great example of this is the iPhone. I tried using my friend's device once with some difficulty. When I got tot he part where I had to use the touch screen keyboard, I discovered my fingers and thumb were to big (I'm a big guy at 6' 3" and my hands compliment my size unfortunately :( ). I mean, back in the day when cell phones were the size of bricks, that was a problem. But now that cell technology has progress and we can reduce the size of phones, I think manufactures need to take a step back and stop trying to make them smaller. Same goes for other devices. An iTouch/iPhone is about the right size in my opinion for devices with multiple capabilities. Any smaller and the amount of eye strain becomes annoying. If the touch keyboard on a device like that could be made better as well for people with bigger fingers, that would be a major plus as well. There's no longer a need to make things smaller, just more useful and easier to use.
