New Ipod ? Iphone Nano ? Gphone by Apple ? New iTunes ? New music catalog ?

I hope for a new iPod and iPod Nano, but I am unsure what to expect.

We might see iTunes 7.4, although I don't see any real need for a new version.

I doubt we'll see an iPhone Nano... yet.

"Now let's talk about the iPod. It's doing really well. They're... rather strong." Teehee. "We've sold over 110m to date... and you'll notice the place where the sales curve is strongest is during the holiday season... today we're going to refresh or replace EVERY single product in this lineup to get ready for this holiday season."

Oooo...

8GB iPhone now $399

I seriously hope its < £200 when released in the UK, although knowing Apple and there severe over-pricing in the UK, it will be £379.

<< I seriously hope its < £200 when released in the UK >>

It'll no doubt be £200 for us, which I think is pretty acceptable for such a life changing piece of kit. Can't wait. Shame I bought an 8GB iPod nano 3 weeks ago...

I still prefer the iPod classic to the touch. It looks so... empty, and everytime I look at it, I would wish it were an iPhone.

Stocks, Maps, Weather, Notes could be integrated in iPod Touch... You don't need a phone to write something, or to browse Google Maps...

Luka [PersonRank 10]

16 years ago #

Oh! I see : they will be other applications! You will have to buy it from iTunes like games on iPods classic and nano!

I don't WANT an iPod Touch, I NEED an iPod Touch, so I have a 30GB 5G Black iPod for sale if anyone is interested.

   I will brush the back for free if required as it has some minor scratches but the front is fine; free shipping to most places aswell.

Contact me at xuanjames[put at-character here]gmail.com if you are interested

The Apple UK site now has the iPod touch for £199 so the iPhone will be more than that :-(Doesn't look like I'll be getting one

You never know... I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy a contract phone in the UK these days. Do you not think it'll be pretty cheap, and then O2 will whack on a big monthly bill? Even the N95 is free on £35/m.

I don't use my phone enough (as a phone) for it to be worth it for me to go pay-monthly :D

Xoogler Paul Buchheit has a special take on the iPhone...

"16GB iPhone "SLR" includes high-quality 8MP camera"

Assuming the ipod touch 16Gb ($399) and the iphone 8Gb ($399) have a identical pricing policy in the UK we are looking at the 'cheap' iphone to be £270. This will probably be alongside a £35 per month O2 contract (for 118 months) – grrrr

http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm=browse&mco=12ED1D41&node=home/ipod/ipod_touch

And if the rumours are true a 16Gb 3G version of the iPhone will be introduced at Apple Euro (25 Sept) – my guess $599 (which based on the above XR would be £400) – thats a whole lot of money when you get the N95 free on a £35 contract elsewhere ...

phone £400
contract £35 x 18

total cost £1,000

That total number doesn't look very Apple, I mean, its rounded and the US cost is nearly $2000. I'm guessing that the cost will be more along the lines of £1,459.82

There, a true Apple UK price.

Well, the only youtube on iphone and that is too very less number of clips is tale of yesterday. Veveo launched http://www.vTap.com today which enables you to search and play any video on your iPhone or other mobile phones. The interface is really nice and appealing.
