Apple unveils new iPods
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
On Wednesday, Apple's Steve Jobs stood before of a crowd of reporters to unveil the latest gadgets and their features.
He mentioned a new and improved operating system, iOS 4.1, which will be available for free next week. The iOS 4.2, which has the same thing as the iOS 4.2, will be available for the iPad in November
— iPod Nano — It's smaller and lighter. The Nano will have a touch screen that shows radio, clock, photos and playlists among other things. It has a 24 hour battery life. The cost is $149 for 8G and $179 for 16G version.
Jobs declared changes to the iPod were the "biggest changes" ever. Here are the iPod highlights:
— iPod Touch — It's thinner. It has a retina display, which means a clearer screen. It will have a front facing camera and can do Face
Time. The cost is $299 for a 32GB and $399 for a 64GB.
-iPod Shuffle — Apple brought buttons back. It also has a voice-over feature and will play 15 hours of tunes. The cost is $49.
Jobs offered iTunes version 10, which has a new logo, and the site is entering into the social networking realm. Pirg is a social network for music and is available on your
ITUNES
computer and iPhone.
APPLE TV
Apple TV was introduced with not much fanfare in 2006 but people "love them." Jobs told the crowd.
The company created a new Apple TV, he said. He held up something that looked about the size of a hockey puck. On the back, it has HDMI, USB, optical audio and Ethernet.
He referred to iTunes as the largest online library. Customers can rent a movie for $4.99 the day it comes out on DVD or buy a TV show for $9.99 (no commercials)
Jobs said viewers just rent movies and TV shows. They don't store any content on it.
So far, ABC and Fox are on board but Apple believes others networks will join.
The cost is $99 — a drop in price from the original $299.

CONCERT SERIES

Eminem, Jay-Z will play together in hometowns
The biggest North American concerts this year, says one Comerica Park executive. The heaviest ticket demand one Live Nation honcho has ever experienced. A "once-in-a-lifetime production" for an industry veteran who has staged Super Bowl halftime shows.
"We've done things together," the Detroit rapper told interviewers when announcing his upcoming shows with Jay-Z. "But I'm not sure we've ever done anything this big."
With the superstar duo set to stage a massive home-and-home series — a pair of Comerica Park shows this week (Thursday and Friday) followed by two at Yankee Stadium (Sept. 13-14) — the superlasters are coming thick and fast from those close to the event.
DETROIT — You can finally accuse Eminem of understatement.
There's historical significance too. The sold-out dates aren't just testament to the enduring power of Em and Jay-Z, two of the world's biggest music acts — they also mark a milestone for hip-hop itself.
"They're putting hip-hop on the same playing field as anything else," says L.A. hip-hop journalist Scott Sterling, citing rock's storied history of concert spectacle. "If I'm a 15-year-old who's getting into this music, it makes anything possible."
Turning Detroit into the center of the music world for two days has been months in the making.
"Marshall and Jay had the idea," says Live Nation's Rick Franks, "and from there they ran with it."
Plans were shepherded via lay-
Z's relationship with Live Nation
— the pioneering "360 deal" that gives the company a stake in his tours, recordings and publishing.
First on the list nailing down a window that fit the baseball schedule, while accommodating the show's unique needs as a one-off event rather than a full-length tour.
"The production is very, very complicated, a lot of moving parts, because it's only the four shows," says production director Dan Parise.
It's expected that Eminem will follow Jay-Z for the Detroit shows, and vice versa in New York.
