Apple disses touch, adds video to nano, color to shuffle
At Apple's media event today, the company unveiled a video-equipped iPod nano, and a cheaper, more colorful shuffle. Despite numerous rumors (and perhaps good sense) Apple beefed up capacity for the iPod touch but did not add a camera as expected.
In addition to showing off a number of updates to iTunes and the iTunes Store, Apple also unveiled its revamped line of iPod portable media devices today during a special media event. While the classic, touch and even shuffle got slight changes in capacity and new pricing, the nano was the star of the show, getting a new built-in video camera and several new features. The move baffled nearly everyone, including a number of angry folks hoping the iPod touch would get a camera and possibly GPS features to make it more comparable to the iPhone.
Apple showed off new iPod touches, which got expected bumps to CPU speed and storage capacity. Two new models have the updated CPU and graphics capabilities of the iPhone 3GS—a 32GB model for $299, and a 64GB model is now offered for $399. An 8GB model without the updated CPU or graphics is selling for $199—$30 cheaper than yesterday's model (well, before this morning's unexpected price drop). So you can quadruple your storage for just another $100, and a 16GB version is conspicuously absent.
Also conspicuously absent from the upgraded touch is any addition to the basic hardware. While the addition of GPS and digital compass would have been nice, it boggles the mind to wonder why Apple left the touch with no camera, which was widely speculated to be added this fall. A number of readers following our liveblog were beyond surprised—folks are downright angry about the omission. While Apple may have wanted to keep a clear separation between the iPod touch and the iPhone, the fact is that there are plenty of people that want iPhone-like capabilities in a portable device that isn't a) a phone, and b) beholden to an expensive service contract.
New 2009 iPod lineup
We predict this move with have a serious material affect on iPod touch sales, despite the fact that Phil Schiller heavily promoted it as a portable gaming device during today's media event. While a number of game developers were trotted out to show how great the touch is for gaming (and honestly, we agree), we can't help but notice that one of the top-selling portable gaming devices, the Nintendo DS, had camera hardware added to the recently released DSi variant.
The omission of camera hardware was made even more glaring when Steve Jobs came back on stage to show off the highly upgraded iPod nano featuring—that's right—built-in camera hardware. Apple added SD video capability to the tiny, inexpensive media player, likening it to the popular Flip micro-camcorders. The nano also now has an integrated microphone to record audio, built in speaker for playback, a larger 2.2" LCD screen, built-in Nike+ hardware, a pedometer, built-in FM radio (that feature was about 8 years in coming), and includes the VoiceOver features introduced with the iPod shuffle earlier this year. The nano still comes in nine different colors, with an 8GB model selling for $149 and a 16GB selling for $179.
Apple also introduced updated iPod shuffle and classic models. The oft-maligned buttonless shuffle now comes in five colors, adding green, blue, and pink to the silver and black options. $59 buys you a 2GB model, and $79 doubles the capacity to 4GB. A "special edition" 4GB model in polished stainless steel is available for $99. The languishing classic stays pretty much the same, except it now has a 160GB 1.8" hard drive inside, and sells for just $249.
All of the updates are unsurprising, and for the most part keep the various iPod models up to date. The nano obviously received the bulk of the attention this time around, making it arguably the value leader among the various options. We are still scratching our heads over the ho-hum refresh of the iPod touch, though. Despite the bump in speed and capacity, ignoring the other possible upgrades, especially the camera, seems like a very un-Apple-like blunder.

Leuk dat dat App Management erin zit, maar het werkt nog steeds kut 
Het is precies hetzelfde als het managen van je Apps op je iPhone/iPod Touch behalve dat je met je vinger op je display zit. Ik kan bijvoorbeeld niet een heel homescreen overzetten/verwijderen, alles nog steeds 1 voor 1 selecteren (geen multi-select), het backuppen van je iPod Touch en iPhone gaat tergend langzaam 
en ik zit met overmatige beach-balls binnen iTunes onder Snow Leopard... 
Ik word niet vrolijk van iTunes 9
De store ziet er overigens wel stukken beter uit!

Ik ben eigenlijk best wel happy met de updates. En dat na SL waar ik wat minder over te spreken was qua vlekkeloosheid. Vooral OS 3.1 is erg snel en snappy!

Ok, ik ga gewoon voor de 300e keer naar de overbekende weg vragen.
Wat heb ik allemaal nodig om aan de Usenet te gaan op de Mac en wie lult mij er doorheen? Of heeft er een kekke howto?

Ik gebruik voor Usenet
- Unison 1.8.1

- MacPar
De NZB-bestanden (zeg maar de bittorrentbestanden) haal ik via binsearch.info. Via NZBMatrix.com houd ik een beetje bij wat er bijgevuld wordt.

Ik hoor/lees eigenlijk iedereen over sabnzb ofzo, is er nog een speciale reden dat jij Unison gebruikt?quote:Op donderdag 10 september 2009 08:38 schreef Walter_Sobchak het volgende:

Gewoon sabnzbd. Daar kun je op http://www.binaries4all.nl de hele uitleg van volgen indien nodig (Ja, is voor Windows maar maakt niet uit omdat het webbased is). Werkt echt heel fijn, vreet nauwelijks CPU en goede, duidelijke interface.quote:Op donderdag 10 september 2009 08:08 schreef Jarno het volgende:

Haha, die Unison site kwam me zo bekend voor. Blijkt dat ik ooit al eens een serial gekocht had enzo. 
. Nou, die heb ik dus vast. Vanavond maar eens stoeien.

Wat een gekut was dat vroeger. Toen ik nog een torrentclient en een edonkey client en een usenet client op mijn pc had. Nu heb ik dat alles op een server

iTunes 9 onder SL is heel veel sneller dan 8 onder Leopard hier.quote:Op donderdag 10 september 2009 09:40 schreef w00h00 het volgende:

Irritante bug in iTunes 9.0.. als je sorteert op "album by artist" toont-ie discs van multi-disc compilaties niet meer apart. Oftewel, eerst track 1 van disc 1, daarna track 1 van disc 2, daarna track 2 van disc 1, etc.. Welke oetlul bij Apple heeft dit nou weer bedacht
