  • Goodbye iPod Hi-Fi?

    iPod Hi-Fi

    Since the iPod Hi-Fi was announced almost 2 years ago Apple has seemingly thrown it to the side without so much as a single mention after it’s initial public debut.

    It’s always been a rather odd product for Apple to have produced as it plays the role as mainly an expensive accessory to the iPod. Apple is really in the business of creating major products and not so much “accessory” products.

    After the Apple online store re-opened today the Apple Hi-Fi appears to have be removed from the catalog. Clicking on the “Buy Now” buttons on the Hi-Fi product page take you to a simple page with a message that says :

    Sorry. The item you have selected is currently not available from the Apple Store.

    Who knows if this is just a simple glitch. I personally see this product falling by the wayside.

  • iPod touch - Multi-touch interface, Wi-Fi, and more

    iPod touch

    Today Apple announced a major addition to their iPod line called iPod touch. It bears significant similarities to the iPhone with touch screen capabilities, wide screen display, and more.

    There are two major new features included in the new iPod touch that have never been included in a previous iPod. Multi-touch interface and Wi-Fi access.

    Multi-touch Interface

    With functionality practically identical to the iPhone, the multi-touch interface really brings a new dimension to Apple’s iPod lineup.

    The iPhone’s finger-flickin’ goodness is now officially on an iPod via the same Coverflow feature that exists on the iPhone and in iTunes.

    Wi-Fi

    Another first for the iPod lineup, Wi-Fi is now built in to the iPod touch. What would you need Wi-Fi for? Well I’m glad you asked.

    The Safari browser that exists on the iPhone is now integrated in to the iPod touch and using any public Wi-Fi network you can now browse the internet, watch YouTube videos or purchase music from the brand spankin’ new iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store.

    Pricing

    There is an 8GB model that will set you back almost $300 and a 16GB model that will set you back almost $400. My initial thoughts are that the pricing is a bit steep, especially for the 16GB model. As with other Apple products, there is a good chance the price will drop after 6-12 months.

    Wrapping Up

    Overall I feel like this is a pretty solid new product. The fact that it looks almost identical to the iPhone does irk me a bit. It just seems like a bit of a copout. Though it could be argued that there is no need to fix what isn’t broken. Touché.

    There is also the new Starbucks partnership that reeks of burnt coffee to me. Sure, the fact that you could be in a Starbucks, here a song you like, and purchase it on the spot is a cool feature but it just seems to be an extra layer of fluff that is unnecessary and just overcrowds Apple’s brand.

  • Do You Love or Hate the New Nano?

    iPod nano I wanna get your feedback here, loyal TAB readers. What are your thoughts on the new Nano? Love it? Hate it? Luke warm?

    Personally I’m in the hate it camp. I was really crossing my fingers that the spy photos that had previously leaked out on the ‘net where fake. I like the larger screen I guess (320×240), but it just feels like it’s now the bastard child of the iPod line.

    So, what do you guys think?
