Live Apple “It’s only rock and roll” event coverage
Can anyone find any other corroboration to this? It would be BIG!
Sky News reported that the Fab Four are finally coming to iTunes, attributing the news to John Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono

Apple lowered the prices this morning on existing iPod models .... does that mean that the new models that we presume will be announced today will be at the older price point?
That all said, all the reports were that Apple was going to respond to M$'s aggressive Zune HD pricing by matching it, which they've done with todays price drop.
That doesn't help the new models compete however.
My suspicion is that the rumoured delays associated with the new camera components will result in a delay of the new iPod models, allowing Apple time to get rid of the current inventory first, then release the new models at the reduced price point.

I'm just worried they are going to double the size on the iphones as well... mine arrived yesterday and it would stink for there to be a bigger for the same price the next day. :(
I'm personally hoping for a big update to Apple TV
- 3.0 Software Update with AppleTV SDK and App Store
- 250GB and 500GB version of current AppleTV (with 1080p playback)
- Apple TV Nano - 8GB NAND Flash storage (to hold the app's) - ideal for streaming.

That'd be awesome and would have been a definite go for me to buy an AppleTV, but I bought a 360 last month and have been streaming content from my Ubuntu desktop without a hitch.
I would not mind seeing a mac mini media edition take over the apple tv, larger space, running a version of os x but cheaper then the current mac minis, with a hdmi out.
I doubt that will ever happen though.

I'm using a 360 to stream from my computer too, but i'm using a Mac with Rivet (cynicalpeak.com/rivet), works really well.
I used media link with my ps3. Works so well. (I hear it does not work in snow leopard yet thoguh)
I would welcome an apple tv update as well. I doubt we will see it though. Everyone know we will get new iPods for sure across the board, but really all I want is a new version of itunes with some sort of app management built in. Also 64 bit would be nice.
Pictures of the cases for the iPod Nano show it with a larger screen, similar to the Zune 8/16 and both with Cameras, as these have been shown before, if not mentioned tonight - I am not sure when they will be, this will be an indication of what the Zune HD has to match whatever the announcements (Beatles iTunes and Special Edition iPod, HD support etc)

I bought a reburbished 2nd-Gen iPod touch three weeks ago (yes bad timing). I opened it, but haven't jailbroken it or even used it because of today's announcement. The question I'm asking myself: is it worth returning for the stocking fee and exchange for the new model? What would you do?
Totally blown away by the level of coverage. You guys are killin the other liveblogs. Nicely done.
Thank you, i think that was an unfair shot by apple. Yeah they have many more games but talking hours of play and ease of play the ds and psp win by a long shot. For casual games its good for real games it fails.
yeah ryan got it right that MOST of the games are small/casual games.. the even more unfair shot is the 21k games vs. 3k games on a DS.. I'll take quality over volume most days.
Of course I'll eat my words if they bring out some sort of clamp on gaming pad for the ipod touch...

I agree for casual time wasters it is ok, but i highly doubt you would be able to do a 4 hour gaming session on a really good long game without it dying. Battery is where it is at with the ds and psp.
