Apple has a tendency to slowly release critical features overtime. I wonder if they will do that for the Apple TV but really they failed to make it very interesting by not loading it up. I am very intriqued to see the reviews for the Nano. Perhaps that interface really will work! iPod Touch is a clear win

I've seen a video of the Nano and it looks very hard to use, but, I guess I'll try one out at the Apple Store and see what its like. I hope that they to send an update to the Apple TV... I'd buy one if it had apps, and lower prices!

I think its something they will roll out in the future. Plus you know someone is going to jailbreak it. It is built on top of iOS4

As demonstrated by one individual, its possible to modify the theme and images used by a STAR so in theory yes you could  modify it.

Amen. Here are my thoughts

1. iPod Touch- Decent upgrade
2. iPod Nano- Lame. Sorry I can not see a UI like that being great to navigate.  Touch screens aren't the answer to everything
3. iPod Shuffle- Its like a time warp! After Apples failed buttonless design they went back to what people liked and bought.
4. Apple TV- Complete Fail. Its a Roku box with LESS features! Big miss on Apple to actually make this product interesting. Could have had apps or so much more.
5. iOS Updates- Good.
6. iTunes. WTF! Same old clunky interface. I would have thought by version 10 they would have done some big changes. Nope. Instead we get a lame social network services that is walled preventing you from linking it to Facebook or Twitter.

I really have to agree with Martin here. I was looking really forward to the updates, but disappointed by some things.
The new iTouch is absolutely amazing. I just pre-ordered mine!
The nano looks interesting, but I wouldn't buy it. The fake bezel is just ugly.
Shuffle = back to basics
Apple TV is something I was excited for. Not anymore. No apps, no storage, and I see no point in it right now.
iOS updates look awesome. I can't wait to try it out on my new iPod.
iTunes 10 = pointless. Ping looked cool, till I found out that Facebook integration wasn't there. (It was in the beginning, but Apple didn't have permission from Facebook, so they shut down their access.)

Those are my thoughts!

more drama opening up to us in Tampa 

I don't get really why anyone cares about them still

I dont either tbh but its just worrying me if they try to cause another hoax

Not sure why that would worry you but ok. I doubt anyone would believe them anyway. The guy went to jail and is on probation anyway. Glad the judge is making them pay 40grand that the government wasted in the search

Looks like they are playing the Flick and a Forecast LF music tonight, despite long-form being preempted.

Um, I thought FaaF was cancelled?

It was never actually cancelled. I don't know how that rumor started

I liked the wind field maps, too - orange was tropical storm force, red was hurricane force, and white was major hurricane force.

I saw them use those with Earl. Very helpful and informative!

The new iTunes software also consume more memory space and CPU, which can really slow down your computer. Not to mention the store takes a minute longe to load now

Amen. Here are my thoughts

Whats more shocking is that the NHC actually issued products up until that point
