iPod Nano
So yesterday Apple released the iPod Nano. You'd think with the other stuff going on I would have realized there was just one more thing...
The iPod Nano has 2GB and 4GB models, color screen, click wheel, thin as a pencil (3.5 x 1.6 x 0.27 inches and 1.5 ounces) and I think it's all solid state (no hard drive) so it doesn't skip and that should help the battery life too. It'll hold up to 1,000 songs or 25,000 photos (4GB version) and it comes in black or white. The more I look the more I like. My question is how small can they keep them this size but still get them up to 80 (or 100) GB?
I'm sorry that I'm such an Apple geek, I just think they make really stuff (I'm not really sorry). And with the iPods everyone (even Windows people) can benefit from it. I'm sure these work as external storage devices too. Photo/diagram in the extended entry.

Apple iTunes
Apple iTunes music store statistics: I'm listening to the keynote as I get stuff done here and I thought some of the numbers were huge enough to mention. They sell 1.8 million songs a day. They have 82% of the market share in the us, 85% of the market of the world wide music stores. They have 2,000,000 song vs. 200,000 from 2.5 years ago. And they have ten million accounts on iTunes.
For podcasting, which they just added few months ago, they have over 15,000 feeds and 7,000,000 subscriptions.
I wasn't sure yesterday but the Harry Potter content is exclusive to iTunes and so is the selling of individual Madonna tracks.
