Just this morning around 1.30a.m, the whole world watched with excitement as Steve Jobs of Apple unveiled the latest generation of iPods. As many have predicted, the new iPod looks like the iPhone, only that it does not come with the phone function. Hence, its thinner of course ! However, it is now called iPod Touch, it reminds me of HTC Touch. You get to watch DVD movies at the actual aspect ratio with the widescreen LCD, surely to be selling like hotcakes in United States. To me, these two models is just like a PDA phone comared to a Pocket PC. The new iPod touch features a new WiFi Itunes Store, where you can buy songs via WiFi. Apple also collaborated with Starbucks to offer a new feature, in which if you access a participating Starbucks WiFi, your IPod can show you what songs is being played, and you can download it. There is also no access fee and password needed if you are using iPod Touch. Ipod Touch also feature 2 other amazing application, YouTube video player and Safari web browser.
Besides that, iPod Nano got a new touch for its designs and user interface, the Nano isn't exactly 'nano' anymore, it has grown fatter so that you can watch crisp clear video on it. Meanwhile, there is iPod classic which looks like iPod video in first generation casing. However, the classic does have a 'classic' price to pay. 80GB version is USD$249 while the 160GB model is USD$349. On the other hand, the nano is slightly cheaper, USD$149 for the 4Gb version and USD$199 for the 8Gb version. As for the Shuffle, there are new colours available (some China brand iPod Shuffle had these colours long ago, read more to see the shuffle different colours)
That is not all, Apple has decided to get rid of all their 4GB version of iPhone, perhaps 4GB is just not enough for those in United States, it is selling for only 299 USD. But then, it is sim-locked by AT&T, but no worries, as there are unlocked iPhone's in Malaysia now. You will void your warranty for sure if you sim-unlock it ! Head on to Apple's website to see the ad, and some keynotes at the launch. Now, i'm wondering when will these make it to Apple retailers in Malaysia.host33.com/index.php?option=com_weblinks&task=vi For more pictures, click Read More
