New Apple Products at Macworld 2008

Well there was certainly a lot of buzz around Apple's new product announcements at Macworld 2008. The stock took a hit and there have been some complaints about whether or not the Macbook Air compromises too much. Anyway, more to come on this stuff.

More Pods than 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'!

Apple Refreshes iPod Line: Well there was quite a buzz today. New form factor for the iPod nano with upgraded UI and video support, New colored Shuffles, the recasting of the large capacity model as "iPod classic"; and of course the iPhone without a phone - "iPod touch". White is out as well, only silver, black, and a new palette of colors.

As others have pointed out, Apple has spread out the features, actually making it a tough decision. The nano and classic have an upgraded UI with coverflow and some neat new features. iPod touch has the high-end touch screen UI and wifi, but the limited storage capacity highlights that this is a both a v1 release and comes across as more of a crippled iPhone, than a unique device. Brave early adopters will be in for a treat, but I'd say it would be more conservative to see how these improve in the next release both in terms of capacity and refinements to the design and features.
