Apple Announces iPod Upgrades and Addl Movie Services

| No Comments

I heard a story on NPR while driving in yesterday about Apple's plans to announce new iPods that will target selling videos through the Music Store that one downloads and can then play on a home TV.

Here are two news stories you can visit to read more. "Apple Plans to Inhabit Living Room," in the NY Times Technology section, and Starnet's business section has "Apple launches movie service, device to watch them on TV." The Starnet article has a convenient sidebar summarizes some of the key upgrades to iPods.

There has been talk among industry observers for some months that after Apple released the video iPods last year, it was going to be redesigning the video iPods and changing its strategy. Today we hear the plans. Also of interest to me is that it appears Apple is finally addressing the problems us consumers have had to deal with because of the horrendous batteries they've put in iPods. The Starnet article includes mention of "A 24-hour battery life on a thinner, aluminum-cased iPod Nano, which stores media files on flash memory chips."
