Mike, it’s really good coverage, but did you really want to disable permalinks to all previous posts, too? Crunchgear has several posts on TechMeme today, leading to nowhere.
thanks. we had to tear it down or we’d chew up the site. things will be back up in a minute.
It’s funny, in a weird reversal, the face of Steve Jobs above is oddly reminiscent of the face of “Big Brother” on the screen in the 1984 Macintosh commercial. Just an observation
The new “classic” with 160GB will hold all my music which is cool. But the iPod touch is too cool to pass up.
If you need album artwork of lyrics for iTunes and the iPod give this plug-in a try http://soundcrank.com.
re: the new touchscreen ipods
was never a big fan of touchscreens, not sure whether it’ll be easier/faster to use than the scrollwheel.

Whoo-wee! iPhone Touch FTW!
Very disappointed with the iPod Touch, I was hoping to upgrade my 30gb video ipod (it’s full) with the new Touch but with the 16gb size it doesn’t look like I will. I guess I’ll be getting a “Classic”. Oh and the ringtones and starbucks features are LAME!!!!
Price drop. Whoop whoop.
Yah the $0.99 for turning a song you all-ready own into a ring-tone is just crap. Starbucks is a none event unless it allows free web-surfing at all starbucks as well..
not bad. think I’ll wait for someone to bring out the same product, only drm & itunes free.
The really funny thing here is that office 2.0 conference today was giving out iphones along with the registrations.
The price of an iphone just dropped 33% today.
Hard to believe so much time was focused on the ringtones - made me wonder about the rest of the news.
New Nano is nice.
I was hoping the iPod touch would have more memory so I could put all of my music and video on it, maybe before Christmas they will have one with more memory.
$200 price cut on the iPhone - that’s a quick price drop on product that first shipped a couple of months ago.
ok… i really need that ipod touch…but the new iphone price is sooo good… and the classic one will hold all my music…
fuck apple
The iPod Touch probably needs flash storage to be so thin. The space that would usually hold a harddrive holds the touchscreen components.
#15, it is definitely flash storage $299/8GB, $399/16GB (same price as the phone!)
I know I am getting that wifi enabled IPod. forget the music, but accessing the web for 300 flat is gr8.
This was pretty much TechCrunch’s Super Bowl today.
Hey stop posting on this!
Nobody cares! Remember?

I’m all torn up. I have a current edition 8gb nano that is cool but I always wanted it to play video, even on that dinky screen. The new nano looks kinda funny but with a bigger screen and video playback and an awesome price, it’s very tempting. But I also really want the “touch”, because of the huge widescreen, and super bonus of web browsing! I was not expecting that at all, as it seems to somewhat eat into the coolness of the iPhone… Oh and then they drop the price of the iphone by $200, barely 2 months after release? Damn… my verizon phone plan is just about to expire and I’ve been thinking about the iPhone, this makes it very tempting. But 8GB may not be quite enough. The touch has 16gb but no phone…. argh…. I guess I’ll have to get all three
The iPod Touch has blazing fast storage… just not enough of it.
These are great news! Specially the iPhone price drop. I wonder how much it will cost here in Europe and when will be able to get! can’t wait!!!!
Add a microphone function to the new iPod touch and one has a VoIP phone with multimedia capabilities.
My comic characters are very excited about the new nano:
