Where’s my Camera? and the September 9th Event

I still have the first generation iPod Touch. I never bothered to upgrade to the second generation. The only new feature was a built-in speaker. Big deal! So when I heard about the September 9th Apple event, and the chance of a new iPod Touch with camera, I got really excited. I really wanted an iPod Touch with a camera! The day of the event came, and I couldn’t wait to see what had happened. My teacher let me use a computer in class (PC) to look it up. I was amazed at what I saw. Here are the facts:

iPod Touch:

• Larger sizes: The third generation only comes in 32gb and 64gb sizes. The 8gb model is still the second generation. There’s no 16gb model.

• Faster processor: Games play faster. What else is there to say?

• Voice memos: You can now use the iPhone earbuds with microphone. They are included with the iPod Touch.

• Bluetooth 2.1: Faster Bluetooth

• NO CAMERA!!!

iPod Nano:

• VIDEO CAMERA!!! Video, but no still photos. Cool video effects.

• Larger screen: 2.2 inches (diagonal).

• FM radio: FM radio tuner with pause.

Other stuff:

• iPhone OS 3.1: Rearrange icons from within iTunes.

• iTunes 9: Interface changes. Home sharing.

I hope you found this interesting. Sorry about the big gap between posts.
