Apple Keynote September 2010

If you tried to twitter search somebody yesterday between 1:00pm and 3:00pm it probably didn’t work. Why? Because too many people were tweeting at the same time about one main event: the Apple Keynote! Indeed, Steve Jobs held a conference yesterday where he introduced the new generation of apple products, including the brand new $99 dollars Apple TV.

Here is a sum up of the main innovations that the Apple CEO has announced:

• The release of iOS 4.1, an updated version of iOS4. Bugs that are fixed with it: Proximity, bluetooth and iPhone 3G performance issues. It also features Game Center support. Available next week for iPhone and iPod Touch.
• iOS 4.2 available for iPad. It features airplay wireless music and video streaming from iTunes.
• The new and very small Multitouch iPod Nano. $149 for 8GB; $179 for the 16GB version.
• The latest version of the ”#1 portable game player in the world”, the iPod Touch. It’s thinner than it’s predecessor and it comes with both a font facing and a back camera that can record HD video. It will be available next week for $229 (8GB), $299 (32GB) and $399 (64GB).
• iTunes 10 and Apple’s social network for music: Ping! Like other social networks, you can update your status, post content, follow people and they can follow you back. The only difference is, while doing all that, you’re going to have music suggestions and concert propositions from iTunes and you will be able to pass your music around very easily.
• Last but not least: the new Apple TV! It fits in the palm of your hand, streams content from your computer, streams Netflix content, it allows you to rent HD TV shows for $0.99 each and you can buy it for the surprisingly affordable price of $99.

Real improvements or just the same old Apple products?
