The new iPod touch, a full redesign of the line iPod, the new Apple TV, iOS, iTunes and broadcast online

         

Yesterday, September 1 for the first time Apple has arranged online video broadcast, thereby to test their ability to deliver high-quality video on the device with iOS and conventional computers. We can assume that the attempt was a great success, it was only a few minor faults.
If you relate to the nature of update video set-top box Apple TV, this is an allusion to the main business change Apple – bet on streaming video delivery. But let the order …

Updated iPod
iPod line has undergone significant changes. As stated by Steve Jobs, Apple has prepared a new design for each model player.
What in general, not true. First, was still iPod classic. Many of his death was intended for, but Apple chose to oblivion. Name iPod classic has never sounded from the stage, while on the site player is still alive, and even a passing mention in the press releases.

iPod shuffle
Secondly, the design of iPod shuffle revert to a previous incarnation of the model, returning control to track and also volume.

iPod nano
But the iPod nano radically changed his appearance and began to touch. He got a square screen with a resolution of 240 by 240 pixels and a diagonal of 1.54 inches. Obviously, the video with the size of the display does not look – this feature now and no. In the previous model, the screen was wide and with a diagonal of 2,2 inches with a resolution of 240 by 376 pixels.

Nano now looks like an iPod touch or iPhone, which is placed on the screen are four icons, and the image should be rotated with your fingers because of the lack of accelerometer. Camcorder also removed. Disappointing, but not updated.

New iPod touch
The new iPod touch, by contrast, benefited from modernization. Now it is available in versions for 8, 32 and 64 gigabytes, and is equipped with a screen Retina Display with resolution of 960 by 640 pixels. Do iPod touch have appeared much as two cameras – one can shoot high-definition video, and the second is designed to talk via video Facetime. And, of course, he has a new chip Apple A4, which are already working iPad and iPhone 4.

Separate plus the new iPod touch is that Apple did not use a design decision from iPhone 4, which is in the collective unconscious is the possibility of failure (although the iPod touch it will not be affected). Battery lasts for 40 hours of music and 7 hours of video – a very worthy.

Apple TV set-top
The new set-top box Apple TV, there is exactly one plus and one minus.
Plus – a very low price of 99 dollars. This attraction of unprecedented generosity from Apple. The updated Apple TV in four smaller previous version supports high-definition video (though only in the format 720p), easy to install and requires no PC synchronization.
Less – Apple TV lets you watch movies and series, but does not allow them to buy a new console is not even drive to record movies – she translates directly from the web.

In fact, Apple opened a huge video distribution that allows to earn a regular one and the same. Obviously, the owners such a scheme more sympathetic, because it potentially raises revenue through repeat showings.

Aside from increased speed, change interface and the possibility of broadcasting music to other devices through the network Wi-Fi, the tenth version of iTunes is devoted to only one – the social music network Ping. This system enables us to get music recommendations from friends, acquaintances, and – above all – his favorite performers. In other words, this is an additional incentive to purchase new tracks from the iTunes Store for the most active visitors to the store. Despite the fact that Apple knows all about digital content, launch Ping – entering a new market. The new music network can dislodge MySpace, which traditionally starts a page for beginners and already untwisted musicians.
