So that gives you an overview of Apple TV. Now let me show you something else that's really cool. We talked about AirPlay before. One of the things we can do with AirPlay is stream content from an iPad to an Apple TV


$229 (same price as an 8GB 3G or 4G? iPod touch) (Oh wait, that's the old price. The new? $99!)


...in 4 weeks (pre-order from today)

So here's what we talked about today. New iPods. New Shuffle. New Nano... so small and compact that it's wearable. New iPod touch. The strongest iPod lineup we've ever had. And a new iTunes, with iTunes Ping. We think this is going to be very popular, very fast. And, it's on your iPhone and iPod touch.
iOS 4.2, HDR photos, Game Center. And Apple TV -- a phenomenal way to watch movies and TV. So those are the products we have to launch today. They're all rolling out, some today, most within 4 weeks.
Now, we started doing this music stuff because we love music. Whenever we have these events, we like to remind ourselves of why we do this, and there's no better way to do that than to ask one of our favorite artists to perform. We did that and he accepted.
We asked Chris Martin if he had the time to come out and perform for us at this event -- and he graciously accepted. Please welcome Chris Martin.

Well that should be it. Another impressive showing by Apple. Itching to press that download button for iTunes 10.

The HTTP streaming, not working too well. Repeats sometimes & the video drops reverting to audio only (but that could be blamed on the amount of people watching right now).

[streetlifestyle]

itunes 10 is prob to screw with the jbers like myself.........

[SRASC]

If you were afraid that the iPod Classic may have bit the dust at today's music event, well, rest assured, it's still alive. While we awaited word on just that question from Apple, our good friend Michael Gartenberg confirmed with the company that it lives on to see another day.. and a beautiful performance by Chris Martin.

Apple announced Wednesday that iOS 4.1 will add a new feature, allowing users to take high dynamic range photographs that produce stunning pictures, and will ship next week for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs showed off the HDR photo capability at Wednesday's keynote in San Francisco, Calif.

He revealed that the new feature will take three rapid photos -- one regular, one underexposed and one overexposed. When the pictures are combined, it creates an HDR photo.

"It's pretty amazing," Jobs said. When taking an HDR photo, both it and the normal photograph will show up in the user's Photos application, so they can compare the two and choose which one they prefer.

Also Wednesday, Apple highlighted GameCenter, showing how easy the application will make it for users to join a friend's game. One title running Epic Games' latest Unreal Engine was demonstrated -- Project Sword -- with a fully interactive 3D environment.

"That's on a phone," Jobs quipped after the title was shown off. "That's pretty remarkable.

[SRASC]

Hey! I'm not dead!


The new iPod nano


The new iPod shuffle


The new iPod touch (not like the last set where they kept the 2nd gen in the market, all are 4th gen)



The new AppleTV

[Wolfie]

The new nano is really nice, although it may get lost easier hehe.

Apple tv will surely have a geo ip filter on it to prevent people outside of the US from viewing content (Like PSN).

Nothing that a quick encryptionless(for speed) vpn wouldn't fix though.

[JWT]

i waiting to see when we getting ios4.2 lolol

good to see apple changing the ipod line especially with the nano that puts comeditors in the dust.

so i have to wait till quiet 4.2 to get meh bluetooth fixed ah well.

[M_2NR]

u meant 4.1. That has your fixes,

Also, any news on whether HDR will be coming to 3GS' as well?

4.2 brings AirPlay to iDevices

[SRASC]

Hmmm hours later & still no iTunes 10 download...

Apple is going to update its Remote app with touch gestures

Remote uses the same easy-to-use interface you already use to browse music and video on your Multi-Touch device. So right away, you know how to navigate. If you want to find something specific, use your device’s QWERTY keyboard to quickly tap out the title instead of clicking letters on the Apple TV screen. Then keep tapping to play, fast-forward, rewind, and pause to your finger’s content.

Gizmodo has posted a gallery of photos taken with the new iOS 4.1 HDR feature.

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. When you turn on HDR your iPhone will take three photos in rapid succession. It takes one normal, one over exposed, and one underexposed photo. It then combines the three to produce highest possible quality photo.

You can choose to save the normal photo along with the HDR just in case you aren't happy with its results.

[JWT]

u meant 4.1. That has your fixes,

Also, any news on whether HDR will be coming to 3GS' as well?

4.2 brings AirPlay to iDevices

yeah but in keynote address unkle steve said that the fixes for bluetooth will be in 4.2 not 4.1

[streetlifestyle]

is it safe to update to itunes 10?????

[Swisha]

"MuscleNerd: iTunes 10 is safe for JBers+unlockers: DFU mode, syncing, selecting IPSW, all okay (Stay away from 4.1 next week though!)"

^^^^^ somebody fix that for me plz

[White CZ4A]

guys...by chance is there a jailbreak,unlock available for the iphone 4?

[.:PROZAC:..]

You can buy it unlocked here in Canada, got one for my friend and saw it work last week in Trinidad.

[SRASC]

I got my factory unlocked 1 week ago from Canada. Works great. As far as an unlock/jailbreak, yes but only if it is running iOS 4.0 or 4.0.1. Unfortunately anyone who buys one new will get iOS 4.0.2 which is not able to be jailbroken/unlocked (as I did).

[SRASC]

I know, I know. Flash on mobile devices isn’t what it is on desktops, which frankly isn’t that great either (as I try to write this on a Macbook Pro with memory and processor all but consumed by a Hulu video).

That being said, the Skyfire browser, which was submitted to the app store today, teases us with the ability to watch shows like the Daily Show and the Colbert Report for free using Apple-approved HTTP streaming. The Skyfire browser can only do Flash video, not interactive games, ads and such.

Skyfire is a proxy browser like Opera Mini (which made it through the App Store gauntlet) so it isn’t an automatic fail.

Skyfire’s famed cloud-computing technology translates Flash video on the fly from millions of web sites into HTML5 formats, and supports iOS devices via Apple’s HTTP live streaming standard. Skyfire also avoids the concerns raised in Steve Jobs’ recent essay regarding Flash on mobile devices. By optimizing Flash for iPhones and network conditions in the Cloud, Skyfire improves performance and maximizes battery life while playing video.

One hotly anticipated feature rolling out in next week's iOS 4.1 update is the new HDR (high dynamic range) option in the iPhone's built-in Camera app. The results are subtly improved and realistic looking photos, as opposed to the fake, over-processed look that is often the hallmark of HDR.

A high dynamic range image combines a series of photographs, each shot at a different exposure: underexposed where everything is darker, overexposed where it's lighter, and properly exposed in the middle. The best parts of these images are put together into one shot that brings out details in both the shadows and the highlights—information that would normally be lost in a single exposure though visible to the human eye.

For example, an HDR image of a cityscape with a bright sky and dark foreground will combine an underexposed sky with an overexposed foreground to show more details across the board.



Apple's version of HDR combines three images taken with the iPhone's back camera in quick succession. When iOS 4 is installed, a new HDR button appears to the right of the camera's flash button. Tapping it turns HDR on or off. In the iPhone's settings under Photos, there is a new HDR setting below the Slideshow controls. Turning it on means your camera will save a copy of the regular photo in addition to the HDR image in your camera roll. Turn it off if you only want the HDR images saved. There aren't any adjustment options for HDR images beyond on or off.

There are a number third-party of HDR apps already available in the App store, but they typically only combine two photos together, not three. Some only take one photo and then add a filter to mimic the HDR look. If you can't wait until the iOS update is released, check out the Pro HDR, TrueHDR, and HDR Camera apps (all $1.99), which combine two photos with varying results.

HDR photography isn't loved by everyone. The final products can be garish, and when everything in an image is perfectly exposed the scene can look fake. Apple's HDR appears to avoid this pitfall by dialing down the overall effect. It's so mild that some iPhone photographers might choose to leave the setting on all the time.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

that Project Sword by EPIC games really does look epic!!!

[SRASC]

Duane like you read my mind...

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Duane like you read my mind...
