let the whining begin....
And what reason is there to be anything less than underwhelms? When Apple promises a major event, and only succeeds in delivering a few new colors... whining IS appropriate.
Got a tip for us?

um actually NBC is a "Big Deal" i read several reports saying one of the key reasons the office is still up is because of itunes i heard once it went on the show was saved pretty much" and i think nbc was a pretty big share in terms of Itunes TV download Share.
This may be true. But people who are expecting more out of iPhones need to calm down. It was clearly an iPod event. iTunes plus new Nanos plus updated Touches were enough for a media event. Apple is growing, every little thing the update besides speedbumps is worth a media event.
I had no major expectations at all. In fact, I hardly had minor expectations. Even so, talk about a boring event. It's pretty sad that I actually was most interested in new headphones...
I like that NBC is back in the iTunes store and that we are getting a 2.1 update along with more software/games.
I also think this was a dog and pony show for wall street so everyone can see that S. Jobs still is in charge. Whatever. As an apple fanboi I was underwhelmed by it.

Did your ever think about Market they don't own? Laptops? Seriously an upgrade or price drop would be nice to offset M$ new ads with Jerry. I have been waiting for a MB for about a year. This is total FAIL and I will still keep faith that sometime soon there will be a new MB. It's time to branch out and update something better than i-Pods
Jack Johnson is a staple in our house. We do, however, have 3 kids under 6 but yet he is an artist that my wife and I still enjoy listening to.
I was holding out hope that Steve was going to announce the Beatles coming to iTunes, but alas.

1) Considering I've watched every episode of the Office and 30 Rock and also look forward to many of NBC's new comedies, I think it's a big deal. NBC just got me for at least three more Season Passes.
2) As funny as it sounds...Super Monkey Ball is just the beginning. With a major developer like EA jumping head first into this, I expect to see a huge increase in innovation and technology that will enhance the gaming experience for the iPod Touch/iPhone.
The NBC thing *IS* a big deal. NBC pulled out of iTunes because they thought they'd do better on their own terms. Now they're back. I read this as Apple reasserting their market dominance.
I wonder if Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles is available in HD today, if so I am going to buy the season pass.
I also wonder how long it will be until they post iTunes 8.

Not even close there. 3G was a big deal in hardware. Today we're talking accelerometers in nanos.
I still don't understand where you have room to complain about iPhone problems at an iPod event. Sure, those things suck, but the iPhones are getting all the new things the Touch gets save the case redesign thing. And they get it for free.
The bugs are something that can be fixed in updates. Not worth noting in an event... especially an iPod one.
"No app crashes" - woopee! Can't wait to see how they manage that.
I was going to spend some time debugging my game, but now I don't think I'll bother...
