The actual new prices differ to what we saw earlier today. Maybe Apple's Web guys didn't get the memo...

At about 8am EST this morning, the Apple Store had listed the following prices:
The 32GB touch is now $279 (down from $399), the 16GB is $249 (was $299), and the 8GB model is $189 instead of $229. Could a 64GB model arrive at Apple's event today?

At about 8:30am:
The nano has now also been slashed. It's now at $129 (8GB) and $149 (16GB), while the Classic is down to $229 (was $249).

At about 10am:
Apple store down ahead of today's event. [Apple Store] Thanks Max, and @Galaxius.

"I've constructed this great looking Guitar Hero double-necked guitar thing here because there's a lot of kids out there that think this is actually how you play guitar now — that you just press a series of four or five buttons and and sort of different sort of sequences and it makes every sound that the guitar can make," Uncle Wayne says (will you be my uncle?) in this video for Entertainment Weekly (fast forward to the 2:00 mark). The Kaoss pad (a cool touchscreen-powered effects/sampler/sound processor, famously used by Radiohead on "Everything In Its Right Place" among others) is used to control a pretty gnarly synth tone, which can be modulated in true Guitar Hero fashion by the five colored neck buttons.

Whether he's using this on tour or not I'm not sure (anyone seen the Lips recently?), but it looks like it will be showing up playing the three-note NBC chime in a promo spot to be played during, hopefully, the two NBC shows I actually watch—The Office and 30 Rock. Now if we could just have a Schrute/Coyne duet, please. [EW Video - Direct Link via Listening Post]
