So the eagerly awaited iPod Special Event happened yesterday, so far, all I can take away from it is,
1. iTunes 9 and redesigned store
2. The Nano gets a slight redesign adds a Bigger Screen and a Video ONLY camera?
3. The Touch gets 3.1 Software and bigger capacity 64GB top end, Recording capability, but no Camera?
4. The Shuffle gets colour. Yes that's it just colour.
Now I put a question mark by point Two and Three because while it makes sense that the Nano gets a camera for all the Teenies and Pre-pubescent out there and their nihilistic tendencies, but what doesn't make sense is the lack of camera on the Touch, a class machine screaming for a camera and it doesn't get it.
Because Steve Jobs says it's a Great Gaming machine and they wanted to keep the price down, HUH! go figure. Me personally It wouldn't have hurt to put the Video only camera from the Nano into the device, as the Nano sees a price drop. OK the Touch gets a recording facility, and the 32GB and 64GB version come with the iPhone Headphones as standard, but come on no camera, if there was one way to blow the market away it's put a camera on the Touch. I mean I already use my touch instead of a Netbook because of the functionality the 3.0 software brought with it, so all I can say is hey Apple hurry up and add the camera even if it's Video only, the 3.1 software can already cope with it, and the iPod touch is always faster than the iPhone.
Anyway to end a Video of John C Dvorak http://www.dvorak.org/blog/ interviewing Lance Ulanoff about the Newish arrivals.
