Apple updated its iPod line at today’s Let’s Rock event.
First, iTunes 8 which features a new Grid view, visualizer and Genius, a smart way of creating playlists.
You can now download HDTV programmes and watch them on your computer, not just the Apple TV. NBC also made a surprise return to the iTunes store.
The iPod Nano has returned to the long form factor of old, with a larger better screen, the Genius feature, voice-annotation, and a fun feature, you shake the Nano to shuffle songs. It comes in nine colours, nano-chromatic as Apple say. The Shuffle is also now available in the same colours.
The iPod Touch gained a slimmer form, improved software with 2.1, built in Nike+iPod for those who like to run about.
They’ve also improved the headphones.
The 2.1 software is also to make it to the iPhone soon.
You can watch the whole show here.
No Macs though, which is what I’m waiting for. Here’s hoping for something in October.
