Wonder if we'll see much of a change to the shape or colours of the iPod Nanos. It would be nice to see a built in Nike+ like the touch has too.
apple just cut prices on all the ipods... 16gb nano is just 149 in the US store. 8gb touch now only 189.
and? Same was for the white ipods and white macs. Now look at them
Yep. I wonder how long it will be till the store closes.
also iPod Classic: $229

right, but the guy was going on and on how its iconic. Well the white ipods and macs were "iconic"
Thats weird, maybe its a precursor to the prices of the new ones.
Engadget are reporting it too

Don't kill the iPod Classic. I like the feel of having it in my pocket and being able to press a button to change tracks. I doubt they would because there is still a market for these and games are still being developed for them.
iPod Touch and all these touch screens just don't give the satisfaction and tactile feedback of pressing a button.
I hope they bring out the iPod Classic with a larger screen, interface and a bump in size to 240GB.

The gym I go to is very strict about camera phones as well. Looks like I won't be able to bring in any future iPods in with me.*
*Unless they do a radical redesign of the shuffle.
Does anyone know if the apple store have decreased prices in other countries as well?
OK, it's basically guaranteed that the iTunes store is getting an upgrade today. Historically, if they are making an upgrade to the store they do not update the store's content on Tuesday morning, as is usually the case. New releases and sales have not been updated as of yet.
I noticed that, on the UK store the film of the week 99p rental didn't change this week. Thought it might mean an update.
Leica cameras on ipods ?
Leica is having a live event with a new productline of cameras, at exactly the same time as Apples event.
That cant be a coincidence.
It may be a strategic alliance between Apple and Leica making Leica cameras and optic in all Apple products !

If by "iconic" you mean "POS," I agree. But if you really mean "iconic" well so are polyester leisure suits, but that still doesn't mean I'd be proud to say I ever wore one (fortunately, I was only a kid back then or I'd have a lot of 'splaning to do.)
Seriously, the iPod buds are common $2 pack-ins... except they are white. Oohrah? White earbuds are passe and boring now -- much like iPods in general. Apple might as well change them to something more postmodern to titillate the masses. Better yet, make them so tiny you don't even notice them. That will get attention.
If Leica was in a strategic alliance w/ Apple they wouldn't be holding a SEPARATE even that CONFLICTS with Apples. Leica would be at the event. But let's face it how many people outside camera bugs know who Leica is? Also you may have forgotten that Leica is already in a "strategic alliance" with Panasonic.
Yep. So far this year a minor upgrade to MacBooks, Time Capsule, iPhone, Leopard and now iPods. Not much for eight months work from a $150 billion company. I think Apple needs a transplant, too. Sad.
13" macbook pro, longer battery life for all the notebooks, SD card, matte screen option, etc. If all those things are minor then what would you consider major?
