Tech Discussion – Looking at Apple’s new iPod lineup:

This past Wednesday, Apple hosted the Rock’n'Roll music press event and released new iPods, a new version of iTunes, and some new iPhone features. Jake, Jordan, and special guest George Drage of the Apple Juice Show discuss the latest and greatest (or not…) from Apple. George also gives us a first hand review of the iPod Nano.

• The new iPod Touch is being marketed as a gaming device. With a new pricing structure, new high end 64gb model, and an improved graphics chip, the touch, while still without a camera (a big mistake we think) is ready to be a hot item this holiday season
• The new iPod Shuffle is pretty basic store, new capacity, new pricing…. same button-less single purpose entry level iPod
• The new iPod Classic has a bump in capacity (which we like) and that’s pretty much it
• George reviews the new iPod Nano, it’s built in video camera, FM tuner, pedometer, and voice over functionality makes for a solid bump in features…. but not enough to go out and buy if you already have the latest generation.

Tech Discussion – iTunes 9 and iPhone 3.1:

New iPods are always great… but we’re most excited about the updates Apple has made to iTunes and the iPhone OS, particularly the new syncing features. With the new version of iTunes and the iPhone OS, you can arrange apps on the iPhone iTunes rather than only on the phone. Also exciting but kind of a secret feature is the new “automatically add to itunes” folder. Jordan explains why this feature is so great and you can go here to learn more.

Tech tips – Lite is better…. with Jake Brown:

Jake debuts his new segment on the show… “Lite is Better” This new segment will always feature a new and exciting way to simply your tech experience. This week, Jake has the new simple version of Facebook, a super simple Twitter app for the iPhone called Twii, and although not quite in the ‘lite’ theme, a Twitter backup service called Twistory.
