•iPod nano regains its bottom headphone jack, as the touch, and old nano, because there are no end caps of plastic. So to keep ports in one place, they put it on the base.
•Why didn't they combine the classic's and the touch's screen? Because a sliver of the market wants massive storage for videos so they don't have to sync, for road trips, for the car.
•I wanted to get a comment about the colors, which I find kind of washy, or fit for a log cabin's carpets. They chose them from scratch, which is all they'd say. I like the red the best.
•iPod touch has a light sensor to autodim the screen.
•iPhone gets the Wi-Fi store in a month.

It is thinner than I could have imagined. Screen is identical, and instead of the black bottom back, it has a black section for Wi-Fi in the top right. Store is fast, headset on the bottom, there is a black aluminum bezel around where the steel iPhone rim is. Best news is the headset jack is NOT recessed like the iPhone. Buying on the Starbucks store is really, really fast. Downloads at 150K a second. Gallery coming...

The price of an 8GB iPhone just got lower, and the 4GB iPhone is on its way out, according to Apple CEO Steve Jobs. He announced the 8GB iPhone's new price will be $399, down $200 from its original $599 price. Well now, how does that make those of us early adopters who dropped $600 on the first ones feel? Hmm.

Steve Jobs said the iTunes Store is coming to the iPhone. It'll be included in an update to the iPhone software this month. Take a look at the pic above for an idea of how this will look.

iPod nano Shape-Shifts Into Next Generation
The next iPod nano made its debut appearance at the Moscone Center in San Francisco this morning, bringing along video playback features and a slimmer, wider form factor that was surprisingly close to the obligatory mockups that heralded its arrival.
[UPDATE: more pics, specs and prices after the jump]

We (Jason, Brian and Adrian) are here outside Moscone, waiting until the proverbial guards let us in the proverbial gates to proverbially loot and plunder the iPods. Can you taste it? Adrian can taste it—and it tastes like coffee and stale donuts. Stay tuned as we regularly update between now and the start of the show. The proverbial show. p.s., stay tuned after the show for Justin.tv coverage with the new stuff. – JC

Please, Stop the Apple Leaks
The new iPod, we know its coming. I'm kind of bummed out I know about it already. The last few months, Apple leaks have been so thorough, they're eating away at the Apple Event Reality Distortion Field. But maybe the days are done where I can show up to a Keynote and make an o-face at the launch of some unheard of Apple gadget. I guess that's a small thing to complain about, but I won't let that stop me. More »

Think Secret Practically Promises iPod Touch/Nano Tomorrow, Pushes Stats
Hi there. Here's a bit more party spoiler from the spies at Think Secret, who are all but promising that the iPod touch will be here tomorrow, at Apple's "The Beat Goes On" event. Check out these beefy stats.
•3.5-inch touchscreen, a la iPhone. A hard drive, not flash, for pricing and capacity limitations. Wireless is not a sure thing, despite other rumors.
•New nano will have a 320 x 240 pixel resolution, 12GB or 16GB of memory.
I know, it's tough going into an Apple event jaded. We already love/have/hate iPhones, so loving/hating/having anything less doesn't quite give us that foaming-at-mouth effect. [Thinksecret]
