It's here

So the new iPod arrived, it plays video, as well as music and it's now even thinner....

The other cool thing with the announcement was that some TV programs (Lost, Desperate Houswives, couple of others) will be available from the iTunes Music (or is that video?) store the day after broadcast, and complete with no adverts! Pretty cool - think I read somewhere that you can also get Pixar movies on here for 2 bucks, but haven't confirmed that quite yet.

Battery life is up another 5 hours (to 20 now), and 30 and 60 gig models available. Video support is H.264 and Mpeg4, so you watch your own home movies if you wanted too.



There was also the new iMac - bumped up processor speed, included bluetooth remote, built in iSight (with a flash and a new app called Photo Booth) and Front Row, a multi media viewing application sort of thing (that works with the remote, and is shown on the screen).

And iTunes version 6 to support the video stuff is out now - just about to download it....
