Apple Launch the new iPod Nano, iPod Touch on September 5th

As predicted by Arstechnica, Apple are indeed hosting a "media" event on Wednesday the 5th of September. The Tagline for the event reads "And the beat goes on" which is a direct reference to the Beatlles.

So we are all looking forward to seeing the new OS X bases iPod Nano (the old iPod only smaller) and the new iPod Touch (the iPhone without the phone bit and more).

Apple have been known to previously announce a media event with a huge amount of hype only for it to announce a "boombox". Let's hope Steve isn't such a big fan of the Beatles that he thinks it's worthy of an event by itself!!

Apple also announced the launch of the "Shows" on the iTunes UK Store. Nothing for us here in Ireland though which doesn't bode well for the iPhone here either. Let's hope the Law Suits get sorted out and we have a full unlock by 3rd parties or even better, by Apple.

If you are interested in the Irish development of the iPhone then please email us (link above). Will be doing every effort to accomodate/supply them if we get the right info!
