• 10:01AM Steve: "We've got some exciting stuff..."
• 10:02AM So let's get on with it. The topic this morning is music. Let's start with iTunes. It's the ubiquitous store and music player. It now offers 8.5 million songs. It's amazing. Over 125,000 podcasts, over 30,000 TV shows, 2600 movies... and we now offer over 3,000 apps for iPhone and touch.
• 10:03AM "So we're adding new content to iTunes. HD TV shows. You can buy them for $1.99 in SD, HD will be $2.99... and you can watch them on your computer."
• 10:04AM "NBC is coming back to iTunes." Big cheers "The Office is coming back, Monk, Battlestar Galactica, 30 Rock... and they're coming back in HD."
• 10:04AM "We're introducing iTunes 8 today."
• 10:05AM "HD TV shows, accessability... voice over... new browsing in iTunes, and something called Genius." well what do you know? "Old browsing wasn't efficient, in iTunes 8 you can look by album cover, and this new bar at the top let's you look at anything graphically in little tiles."
• 10:09AM "The results are tailored to your tastes and library. Automatically make playlists with just one click."
• 10:14AM "That's available today as a free download."
• 10:15AM "Now let's talk about the iPod. NPD data shows iPod with 73.4% marketshare. Number 2 is "other", number 3 is Sandisk, and number 4 is Microsoft, 2.6%." "There are over 5,000 accessories, they announce products before they want them to... it's funny." Ha!
• 10:17AM "We went from 1,000 songs to 30,000 in your pocket. The iPod nano. You know we shipped the first nano in 2005, it's only been 3 years." Showing off the older generations now, boasting of the improvements. "But we have a new iPod nano for this holiday season."
• 10:18AM "Exactly the same display, but it's the thinnest iPod we've ever made. It's an oval shape, and it fits in with the line. The first and second gen, but exactly the same... he's pulling one out."
• 10:18AM It's quite small, extremely thin! It almost vanishes when he turns it on its side. "You'll be blown away with how thin it is."
• 10:19AM "Features? New curved aluminum design with curved glass -- and enhanced UI with new features. We've taken the accelermoter from the touch and iPhone and it does some great things, and you can use the Genius function on the iPod."
• 10:25AM "We want to be environmentally sensitive. We're constantly worrying about it. But the biggest thing is toxics -- we have an internal checklist, but the new iPods look great from this point of view. They're highly recyclable... we're really trying our best. We think these new nanos are the cleanest we've ever built."
• 10:26AM "Now there's one thing I haven't talked about: colors." Wow, a whole rainbow of super bright colors. Bright blue, purple, orange,m green, pink."
• 10:30AM "Let's move on to the iPod touch. We've brought our multitouch interface to the iPod. It's unlike anything in the market... for this holiday season we're making it better. Same display, but even thinner. Contoured stainless steel design... they're just fantastic."
• 10:38AM "This couldn't be more fun, hundreds of games. Here's some you haven't seen before. I'm going to start with a game that just shipped... Spore. The iPod touch version, 'Spore Origins'." Man they love Spore.
• 10:46AM "This is the funnest iPod ever. We think people will really like. We've got it in 3 models." 8GB, $229, 16GB for $299, and a 32GB for $399. All three are available today. "Now we've got a new ad."
• 11:00AM Steve Jobs introduces special guest, the No. 1 selling male artist in the history of iTunes Store: Jack Johnson
