Apple today unveiled a new
1GB iPod nano for £109, offering the same features as the 2GB and 4GB iPod nano models and holding up to 240 songs or 15,000 photos.
The new 1GB iPod nano's ultra-portable design is thinner than a #2 pencil and features Apple’s patent pending Click Wheel and the same color screen as the other iPod nano models.
In addition, Apple announced iPod shuffle price reductions, with the 512MB and 1GB models priced at £49 and £69 respectively.

I noticed the new nano when i was in college today, not a bad price really as you get the colour screen and can view pictures for an extra £30.
Shuffle prices are going to really go down on ebat and other places which is great!
Nice one apple!

Think I may get one of those new iMacs, the 20" screen one. Not tooooo sure though, Been a PC user all my life, any downsides? (Don't laugh)
Just worried about some compatibility issues, opening words documents etc, but i'm sure there's a program for that already?

Word documents can be opened on the Mac using
AppleWorks 6,
Pages and believe it or not,
Microsoft Word
The Mac version of
Microsoft Office is actually better than the Windows version!

anyone heard about a NEW ipod video,thats supposed to be coming out?(different to the G5 one thats already out)
According to Think Secret:
Think Secret can confirm recent rumblings that Apple is nearing completion of a completely revamped video iPod that will shed the ubiquitous mechanical click wheel for a touch screen and will sport a 3.5-inch diagonal display.
This video iPod, which has been in development and on the table since before Apple released the 5G iPod last year with video playback, will feature a display that will occupy the entire front face of the device. Sources who have seen the device report that it features a digital click wheel, one that overlays the touch-sensitive display and appears when a finger touches it and disappears when the finger is removed.
Apple has been working with at least two other companies to perfect the digital click wheel display technology. While not all the engineering was completed in-house by Apple, sources have said Apple could hold an exclusive license on the technologies it borrowed from other developers for a period of time, limiting the ability of competitors to copy Apple's design.
Additional details concerning the new iPod have yet to be confirmed, including capacity and a release date, although all indications point to the Spring, possibly as early as late March or early April. During the Macworld Expo San Francisco, Apple CEO Steve Jobs alluded to a major announcement on or around April 1, Apple's 30th anniversary as a company.
Like previous iPods, sources insist that this video iPod will lack any sort of wireless connectivity, and will continue to connect to televisions using the conventional cabling solution of current models.
While Apple no longer publicly releases the numbers for how many specific iPod models it sells, Think Secret has learned exclusively that during Apple's most recent December quarter, the company moved 3.9 million 5G iPods, exceeding internal estimates and confirming that strong demand remains for higher capacity, higher priced iPod models, especially with additional functionality. By comparison, 8 million iPod nanos were sold during the same period.
Readers will recall that during the brouhaha leading up to the October release of the 5G iPod last year, Think Secret maintained that the video iPod would not be released at the time and, following the roll-out of the 5G iPod, that that iPod was "not the video iPod" but rather a souped up 4G iPod with video capabilities. This forthcoming iPod revision is what sources have said for some time will be the incarnation of a complete video iPod solution.
