Apple Keynote: One more thing…
Permalink | October 12th, 2005
Steve Jobs made 3 announcements at the Apple “One more thing…” Keynote presentation today:
- All new thinner iMac with built-in iSight camera (that is reportedly better than the original). This new iMac also offers a remote control — yes, a remote control! You can control your new flat screen iMac from afar using a new 6 button remote.
- New iPod is announced, and what do you know, it does video! The new iPod features a 2.5 inch 320×240 display and will play MPEG-4. This new video capable iPod, complete with video out, will be 30% thinner than the current 20Gb iPod, bringing it down to an astonishing 0.44 inches! A 30Gb and 60Gb version will be offered for $299 and $399 respectively.
- iTunes 6. Didn’t they just introduce iTunes 5 a month ago?! iTunes 6 allows video podcasting and the iTunes store will now sell music videos along with Pixar movies for $1.99! And it doesn’t stop there, Apple is offering TV shows as well! Download your favorite ABC shows for a mere $1.99 an episode! All the video content is being protected by Fairplay, so there’s no burning them and you can only play them on up to 5 computers. But who cares, now you can watch Desperate Housewives on your iPod — is that Eva Longoria in your pocket?
