Wait, is "Deluxe Editions" the same thing as iTunes LP? I'm confused. I guess I'll have to wait for them to be, y'know, officially announced.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong

Long overdue but nonetheless I'm delighted it's here at last.

Can I just call out iTunes LP as being a dud now, before everyone gets in on the act? It doesn't really appeal to the generation who have grown up with music as a disposable thing...

I'm Joseph Fritzl, and no windows was my idea.

Since iTunes 9 is now official, there's a thread for it in Apple Products.

Am I the only one who caught that iPhone 3.1 changes how you buy ringtones? Now it's $1.29, rather than $0.99 + the song. Not sure if that's a price hike or not...

I pretty much agree with you. iTunes LP seems very square peg/round hole to me. It also just seems like an excuse to charge more for music, which, is always one of the complaints that people levy against buying music, that it is too expensive. I can't see it providing anything in particular that would get people to 'switch' to this format(and mentality). It is unlikely to create a new market for people who want to buy whole albums, nor is it likely to really demonstrate to people that albums have worth. However, if there is a silver lining, I suspect a handful of artists who have thus far resisted iTunes/Amazon, might come around now. Otherwise, meh.

Wifi saves the day. Wifi ftw.

And iTunes LP has no interest for me, either.

Niche. I think there's a group of "music nerds" that this might appeal to. But they're a small portion of our generation. Thinks I.

But it's okay, because the regular album will still be available, right? It's like the digital equivalent of deluxe CD.

Oh yeah, I hope it would be. Its no big deal really, people just tend to get really excited when people start with the niche markets, etc.

It is a price hike, you now buy the ring tone seperatly.

Phil is talking so much about how great the current iPod touch is that I can't help but feel that he's killing time instead of introducing a new iPod touch. The camera delay, if true, must really have been a last-minute affair.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong

The Assassin's Creed thing is kind of sweet. I would never play it 'cause I suck at that kind of game, but it does look pretty sweet.

They used a photo of a GameStop's PSP game shelf to illustrate the poor purchasing experience of other game systems. Burn! Too bad the PSP has, y'know, a full online store too. Should have shown the DS wall...

No I think they'll introduce it. They won't stage another event to introduce the camera, they'll announce it now and say shipping in 4 weeks.

I would think so too. Let's see...

EDIT: ...well, no price drop, he just mentioned the touch was $229 (so those prices last night were off). Now he's talking about non-entertainment apps? WTF?

EDIT EDIT: Nevermind. 8GB @ $199, 32GB @ $299, 64GB @ $399. Microsoft just Zuned their pants. (No 16GB?)

I think he covered the classic update in about five seconds. And a $30 price drop on the iPod touch? That's it?

Please tell me the "one more thing" will be "all of these iPods have cameras!"
