Yesterday, Steve Jobs unveiled Apple’s new iPods lineup - Shuffle, iPod Nano, iPod Classic & iPod Touch.
First of all, thanks to Engadget for the awesome liveblogging they did so that I could follow the conference. ;-) 
First on the list was the announcement by Stevie that you can now make &… buy customized ringtones directly from iTunes for $ 0.99! 
You can purchase 30s segment from any song you want. "Our ringtones are going to cost just $.99 in addition to the song." - SteveIf this is not theft, then I don’t know what it is. Making you buy 30s bits of a song! Anyone can make a ringtone from an mp3 song using free software! I wonder how many people will be stupid enough to fall into this trap…
Next was iPod Shuffle in new flavours…

No more “One more thing…” by Steve. "But... we're not done yet. Far from it." This is THE PERFECT IPOD everyone was waiting for. Basically it’s the same thing as the iPhone, without the GSM & the EDGE but… with the WiFi! Yeah, it’s got Safari built-in for browsing via WiFi & the YouTube app. 
Same multi-touch screen, some of the apps have been removed but Apple has added yet another thing - the iTunes WiFi music store. The iTunes WiFi music store allows you to purchase music directly from your iPod Touch with WiFi! So they’ve finally beaten Microsoft to the WiFi music store. (Zune had a totally crippled WiFi)
iPod Touch comes with only 16 GB of flash memory… yeah, for such a unique device 16 GB is not enough, but the 32 GB flash is not too far away either… 
One more thing… iPhone 4GB won’t be sold anymore & iPhone 8GB price has been reduced to $ 399.It’s a safe bet that the next 3G iPhone (the international version shipped for Europe) will have 16 GB flash memory. :D
Great job Steve! 
Please don't spam & don't swear!
