Apologies for cross posting but following a recent query about
purchasing an ipod I thought the article below might be of interest. 

Noreen M. Steve Jobs made his first appearance since his liver
transplant at an Apple event in San Francisco this week. Jobs didn't
unveil any new products at the much-anticipated 09/09/09 bash, nor did
he respond to rumours that the company is working on a tablet computer;
however, he did outline a series of improvements to existing products,
and revealed reduced prices on its iPod Touch range. A video camera has
been added to the iPod Nano, which will retail for USD149 and come with
8GB of memory. The upgraded Nano will also feature an FM radio and
pedometer. The 8GB iPod Touch will drop USD30 to USD199. For USD299, the
memory will double from 16GB to 32GB, while a 64GB model will be
available for USD399. Jobs also called on consumers and industry to
consider the iPod Touch as a platform for videogames. Jobs highlighted
the fact that 21,178 games are now available for the iPod Touch on
Apple's App store, compared to 607 PlayStation Portable games and 3,680
Nintendo DS games. Jobs also unveiled iTunes 9.0, which features a
syncing option and extra features such as iTunes LP format. The much
sought after syncing functionality means users will be able to organise
their iPhone apps in iTunes. Meanwhile, iTunes LP packs in additional
materials such as liner notes, artwork, videos and photos on top of the
music. Also this week, Apple announced plans to allow music-streaming
service (and iTunes competitor) Spotify to produce an application for
the iPhone. The move is leading to speculation that Apple may be about
to relax its rules regarding rival application providers selling their
wares through Apple's online stores. Although, a dispute surrounding an
application made by Google to feature its product Google Voice on the
iPhone is still ongoing with much discussion going on between Google,
Apple and AT&T.
