  "And one more thing..."
    New iPod with Video
      30GB ($299 USD) and 60 GB ($399 USD) Comes in Black and White.
      2.5" screen, 20-hours of battery life (yeah right), 2 hours for video playback
      Smaller than previous iPods. Thinner and has flat front edge giving more os a "U" shape to the back.
      Added same software features as the Nano, world clock, screen lock stopwatch, etc.
      Play content on TV with an S-Video cable or the new Dock with remote.
      Will older iPods be updated with video support?
      Will they have same scratching issues as the Nano?
    New iTunes
      Version 6.0
      Needs new QuickTime 7.0.3
      Video content in the form of music videos and Disney/ABC shows including Lost and Desperate Housewives at $1.99 USD. Entire seasons for $34.99
      Apple needs to get more video content, especially TV shows.
      Talk about my experience purchasing videos.
      New video library to hold video content. Cool "reflective" images. Right click a video image in the album art window to set the key frame to display in iTunes.
    New iMac G5s
      17" with 1.9GHz G5 and an ATI Radeon X600 Pro with 128MB DDR SDRAM
      20" with 2.1GHz G5 and an ATI Radeon X600 XT with 128MB DDR SDRAM
      Includes an Apple remote, built-in iSight and a Mighty mouse.
      Ports now go horizontally across the back instead of vertically.
      Internal modem has been removed and replaced by a $49 (USD) USB external modem option.
      New software, FrontRow which acts as a kind of media application providing access to iTunes, IMovie, iPhoto and other video content.
      New PhotoBooth application to let you take quick snaps with the iSight and tweak them with different effects.
    The unannounced item
      The eMac seems to have been quietly moved to the education area of Apple's site. It seems like you can only order them in bundles of 8 or as refurbished units.
