To follow up with my previous post, I’m surprised at how close I was.
They announced iTunes 7 with movies
They announced the new Nano’s with new casing and sizes
They announced new iPods with a new size increase
They did release an update to Quicktime but nothing substantial like I mentioned
And what I wanted to see was a Media Extender and they pre-announced it. The thing looks awesome and I would consider it if it did xvid and divx streaming, which I doubt. Because if I’m going to convert something I might as well convert it to a DVD or something. I’m also not likely to buy it if I keep my Xbox 360 after the Wii comes out. I do love how it has HD component hookups, you don’t see that on new HD devices anymore. I’ll post on this later, maybe when we see more specs but a device like this is something I really want, it something that could replace our current cable DVR and service altogether since we could just download HD shows the day after without having to pay dumb cable bills.
Other announcements were the new shuffle, which looks awesome. Way better then the old design.
And the iPod wouldn’t see much of an update, making me not care about a brighter screen. Unless I missed something and it could playback on a TV at the new high-res and the 5G version (the one I have) can’t.
