At today's Keynote, Steve Jobs Updated four products and made them truly amazing. The iPod Nano, Touch, Shuffle and the Apple Tv have been updated. They are also announcing iOs 4.1 and iTunes 10. Below you can find the Tech Specs on the 4 devices, iTunes, and OS.
iPod Touch:
The iPod Touch has been updated with the Retina Display, A4 processer, Front facing Camera, Rear Facing Camera, HD video recording, Face Time, and a three axis gyroscope.
Retina Display:
The Retina Display is a 960 by 640 backlit LCD display. It packs 326 pixels per inch and the pixels are so small that you cant see them with the human eye. Text is sharp and looks like it is on paper.
A4 Processer:
The A4 processer can achieve multitasking, editing video, and placing face time calls easily, all while preserving battery life. Apple designed the chip to be very powerful yet power efficient.
Front Facing Camera:
The front facing camera will allow face time, pic taking, and video recording.
Rear Facing Camera:
The rear facing Camera will allow HD video recording, picture taking, and Movie Editing.
HD video Recording:
With HD video recording on the iPod touch, you will be able to take full HD video, edit it, and send it to Youtube, all without synching you iPod touch. It is like your camera that will always be with you. With the front facing camera, you can star in your own mini Block-Buster.
Face Time:
With face time on the iPod Touch, you can talk to your friends like never before. It is like a more instant text message. With two camera's you can show people what is going on around you. Even people who can not speak can enjoy face time. It is perfect for sign-language conversations.
Three axis gyroscope:
When paired with the accelerometer, the gyro makes iPod touch capable of advanced motion sensing such as user acceleration, full 3D attitude, and rotation rate. Translation: More motion gestures and greater precision for an even better gaming experience. Gaming will never be the same.
iPod Nano:
Sometimes called the iPod Nano Touch, this tiny device is truly amazing. It is packed with a smaller design, multitouch, a clip, an FM radio, Live pause, lighter body, Accessibility Options, iOs, pedometer, and a 24 hour battery all for only $149.
Smaller Design:
The iPod nano comes in much smaller design. It is 46% smaller than the previous iPod Nano. It is the perfect design for a tap or a swipe.
Multitouch:
Multitouch on the iPod nano give music a whole new feel. With the swipe of a finger, you can play radio, or browse your music.
iPod Clip:
With the clip on the iPod, you can place your iPod almost anywhere. Clip it onto your belt or sleeve and take it anywhere.
FM Radio:
As with the last generation, the iPod Nano has a built in FM Radio. The Radio is even better on this module. With multitouch, it is just that much better.
Live Pause:
With live pause on the Radio, you dont have to miss any part of the radio. Just tap the pause button and the Radio station will automatically pause.
Lighter Body:
The iPod Nano is 42% lighter that the last generation. It fits in your fingers. This means it is more portable and easier to carry around.
Accessibility Options:
Like the iPod Touch, the iPod Nano has accessibility options. You can turn on Voice Over or change the screen to White on Black. Voice Over speaks whatever you do to you. White on Black is when the screen is in backwards colors.
iOs:
With iOs on the iPod Nano, you get all of the sweetness of a touch screen, along with the natural iPod features. Try it and you will never want to go back to the previous version.
Pedometer:
The Pedometer was a feature of the last Nano, but it wasn't very practical. Now, because of the smaller body, the pedometer can be used like a regular pedometer. Just strap the pedometer on to your pants and start walking.
24 hour Battery:
With a 24 hour battery, you can listen to music all night long without recharging. It is enough to keep you through your workday, or exercise. What ever you want.
iPod Shuffle:
The iPod shuffle is back. Manly only with buttons, but that is an improvement from gen 3. It also has voice over and multiple playlists.
Buttons are Back:
With buttons on the shuffle, you can control your shuffle better. Last Generation the headphones were getting sweaty, and then you could not control your iPod.
Voice Over:
When you press the voice over button, you can have your shuffle repeat stuff to you.

New Look:
The Apple Tv's new, slick look looks great. It looks stunning almost anywhere. Whether it is in your hand or on your tv, it wont matter. It still looks great.
Apple Remote:
Apple has totally redesigned the Apple Remote for the Apple Tv. To the right, you see the old apple Remote. It is pretty obvious that it is simple.
