New Apple Lust Objects

i don't really like it, but then i never like the style of the new ipods initially

phat nano? seriously? what?! why?

160gb iPod Classic!

ipod touch. get in.

digging the phat nano, actually. Completely useless having video on a screen that small, but it's an interesting look.

iPod touch, iPhone without the phone

so it does have Safari +wi-fi?

It has wifi, ye

wonder what the missing buttons can be.

whoah

Safari, youtube, Google

man, this would be perfect if I were in school right now (campus-wide WiFi)

I'm wanting to get an iPhone when they eventually come out here, cos my phone's shit. But no point having both, gah.

wow, presumably it must be the same processor as the iphone, too, to be running safari? i wonder if it's equally hackable?

Everything but the phone? HMMMM.

Dunno if it's evertything but -- there's no Notes icon or Maps icon that I can see.

...will it take 3rd party apps? is this basically going to be an apple PDA??

only 16gb storage. Dilemma solved.

I guess it could function that way if you used Google Apps

and thus no EDGE, either, which is pretty essential for me (ipod touch won't be much use in a supermarket/out in a car etc for looking stuff up, presumably).

"only"

...am i the only one that has no interest in carrying around all of the musics?

what is EDGE again?

i am slightly jealous of 16GB storage though.

neutered iphone... not so interesting to me (160gb ipod for less, though, is)

Yeah, until I'm convinced that WiFi would work enough (that is, enough places) for it to really be an internet ipod, I'm not sure why I'd buy a 16gb ipod for $399 just 'cause it has a touchscreen.

Will the updated UI be available for the 5.5's?

no, I'm with you RW. Maybe I'd need 80-160GB if I was going on a months-long trip. But 1000 songs on 16GB will do me just fine for anything else.

ipod classic is cool in theory but i can't imagine ever needing 160 gigs. the scrunched nanos look fucking ugly and i don't understand why anyone would pay for a 16g phone-less iphone instead of getting a proper 8gb iphone and waiting for an unlock.

nothing here's really that compelling! i'm ipodless at the moment and the one that looks most appealing to me is probably an old-school 8gb nano.

and actually my 2GB nano is way more than enough for most things

rumors of iphone price drops?

is the phat nano a replacement for the old nano or a new line? if it's new, what's the advantage?

video, I think

where is ichat for iphone and ipod touches

i basically keep my entire miusic collection on my ipod so 160g would be cool.

-Can now buy whatever song is playing at Starbucks with one tap of a finger
-When you get near a Starbucks, automatically a 5th button will show up in the store with Starbucks logo
-Great partnership with Starbucks that we're announcing today

ew

wherein Apple jumps the shark

McCartney's behind that.

barf

ha this starbucks thing sucks!

Starbucks-Apple-Google your cuddly megacorps.

However, if they did this at music venues, that would be cool.

What, let you find where the nearest Starbucks is after a show?

"I'm over Denny's now, Carl. I've aimed higher. I'm upwardly mobile."

i was thinking, download the bands' tracks, but what the heh, either way works.

would be cool if you could see other peoples' music collection in starbucks

"I MUST purchase this new cool jazz compilation."

"-iPod or iPhone will automatically recognize the song that's playing at the current store and 10 previous songs, buy it with one click"

will each Starbucks be broadcasting this, or do all the Starbucks across the country play the same song at the same time?

xpost to ned

other missing buttons include: a nike button, a walmart button and a general motors button

Yeh! Can't I use my Nike iPod+ kit while jogging down to Starbucks to download the latest Paul McCartney album?

Schultz offered some operating statistics for Starbucks and said that his company has "gotten pretty serious about the music business as well," pointing to the eight Grammy awards Starbucks has won.

what?

bwaht?
