iPod Touch prices:

The 8GB is $229, 16GB is $299 and 32GB is $399. All available starting today.

Steve's bound to announce something new before it ends.

Dman001

2.1 FW.

Gerard_Smith

They actually seem to be postioning the touch as a games device.

Basq

Free update to 2.1FW for iPod Touch owners (if you're on 2.0FW already)...

.. and will be available from Friday.

Chardee MacDennis

THANK GOD! 2.1 - faster back ups!!

They promised faster backup's with 2.0.1... they lied!

They'd better be right this time.

BArra

Dman001

Sounds like they're wrapping up.

Chardee MacDennis

Steve appears to be wrapping things up..

Dman001

Tis over. I'd give it 5/10, wasn't expecting much anyway but still a bit lacking. I thought there would be some great feature in 2.1.

Gerard_Smith

What ever you think of Nintendos new direction the DS has some damn good games on it. I can't think of a single good game for the touch/iphone.

Basq

Jack Johnson - number 1 seller in iTunes history. Who knew?!

They must have him up there for a reason!

Was this the first Apple presentation where EVERYTHING was leaked in advance? It really does spoil the fun...

Basq

Meh... what crap!

EDIT: Jack's playing live.. something may happen when he finishes. Is this a ploy to announce this wireless guitar idea we've been teased with by (probably untrue) rumours.

The new Classic wasn't leaked, but then again there's not much to leak.

True, but evan if we didn't know it would still be disappointing!

Dman001

I was hoping for the Classic to get changed dramatically, but maybe next year.

Basq

Nope, think it's finally over!

EDIT: Jack's playing a second song..

Dman001

The new Touch actuall looks nice, but I'm not sure it has enough for me to upgrade.

I think the Classic is on the way out - very likely no HDD iPods next time... Though I'll miss them - it'll be a long time before flash players get to 100GB plus... (well, something like 2 years maybe but that's eons in gadget land!).

Dman001

The Classic will stay HDD until Flash memory reaches 100GB+ at affordable prices which isn't going to happen soon.

Sad Professor

Store is back.

*looks over at wallet*

Meh

Dman001

Apple Store back up, €369.99 for a 32GB Touch. Very attractive price!!

Dissapointed with the Touch, they should scrap the whole gaming thing, and put on some good features, camera, GPS, Radio etc.

Disappointed, maybe I just missed it, but thought an increase in size would have been nice.
Maybe it could be used as an remote interface with Apple TV or Airport

Introducing the thinnest ever Steve Jobs.

Scary. I hope he recovers well. He's not right at all.
