How about the iPod touch? They’re adding Mail, Maps, Stocks, Notes and Weather. For existing iPod touch users, it will cost $20. If you buy a new iPod touch, it’ll be free and built-in.

The third thing Steve’s talking about today: iTunes. They’ve sold 4 billion songs, 125 million TV shows and 7 million movies. TV shows and movies have sold more than “everyone else put together”, but “did not meet our expectations”. “There’s a better way to deliver movies over the internet.” What is it? iTunes Movie Rentals.

Here are the studios involved: Touchstone, Miramax, MGM, New Line, Lion’s gate, Fox, WB, Disney, Paramount, Universal and Sony. What’s missing?







1000 films by February, and movies will be available 30 days after the DVD release. You can watch them anywhere: Macs, PCs, iPods and iPhone. You can watch instantly, meaning streaming. You’ll have 30 days to “start” watching it, and then 24 hours to “finish” watching it once you’ve started to watch it. You can watch the first half on your computer, transfer the movie to your iPod, then watch the rest of the movie on the airplane. Here’s the cost.



Old releases: $2.99. New releases: $3.99.

HD Rentals pricing: $3.99 for old titles and $4.99 for new titles. $1 more than SD.

iTunes movie rentals launches today, and it’s a free software update for iTunes. Free update for iPods and iPhones in order to support this. Support for the US comes today, but international support comes later this year.

But how about the AppleTV? It was designed to be an accessory for iTunes, but people wanted it to be “movies, movies, movies”. Here’s AppleTV, take 2. It still syncs with your computer, but no computer is required for AppleTV. You can rent movies directly onto your AppleTV and watch them on your HDTV. You can rent in either SD quality or HD Quality with 5.1 surround sound.







You can also view audio and video podcasts on the AppleTV, photos from Flickr or .Mac, YouTube videos (>50 Million), Buy TV shows and music (which will be streamed back to your computer), or play iTunes content & photos streamed from your computer.

There’s a new interface for AppleTV (picture coming in a sec). The UI is centered around the movie rental experience.











Steve’s demo-ing a sample movie, Blades of Glory. Once you’ve queued up enough of the movie, AppleTV will pop up a message saying that it’s ready to play. He says it usually takes about 30 seconds before something’s ready to play.

Today they’re introducing a third kind of notebook, MacBook Air. “It’s the world’s thinnest notebook.”

“How did we fit a Mac in here?”







What does this mean? The Sony TZ series are thin. “We looked at all of them out there. They generally weigh about 3 pounds.” In Sony’s case, it weighs 3 pounds, 0.8-1.2 inches thick, and a 11-12 inch display. They also have miniature keyboards, and they don’t “run them as fast as they could.”



MacBook air goes from 0.76 inches down to 0.16 inches at the thin end. The thickest part is thinner than the Sony TZ Series. 0.76 vs. 0.8. It’s so thin, it even fits inside a vanilla envelope. Steve whips out a vanilla envelope.





Out comes the MacBook Air. It’s silver (aluminum?), has black keys, is super super thin, and Steve can hold it easily with his fingertips. “It’s the world’s thinnest notebook,” he reiterates. It has a 13.3-inch widescreen display. “And the display is gorgeous.” It’s an LED backlit display that’s instant-on. It also has a built-in iSight camera, and a full-sized keyboard. Backlit too, with a trackpad and multi-touch gesture support on the trackpad.














You can turn on different types of gestures in the settings, like moving around a window with your finger, panning around a photo with two fingers, rotate a photo by twisting a finger, swipe between photos with three figners, and zoom in and out with pinching.



Here’s what’s inside. 1.8-inch hard drives, like in the iPods. There’s also an optional 64GB solid state disk. What else is in there? A complete Mac board, which is a little wider than the length of a pencil.







Here’s the CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Inside, 1.6 GHz standard, with a 1.8GHz upgrade available. Apple asked Intel to shrink their Core 2 Duo processors down to a package 60% smaller in order to fit it inside the MacBook Air. And here’s Intel’s CEO Paul Otellini to talk about it.



The other features: flip-down door that has USB 2, microDVI port, and a headphone jack. The other side is a MagSafe connector. As for wireless, it’s got 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. It doesn’t have an optical drive internal, but you can buy a separate USB-powered SuperDrive that’s especially made for the MacBook Air. $99.







What do you do with an optical drive? Play movies, install software, make backups, burn CDs. What’s Apple’s alternative? iTunes movie rentals, Time Capsule for backups, iPods for listening to stuff in your car, and a new feature called “Remote Disc” for installing stuff via CDs and DVDs.



Remote Disc: Special software loaded on other machines with optical drives that allows MacBook Air to borrow their drives to install things from CDs/DVDs. You can even borrow drives from PCs.
-----


Battery life: With Wi-Fi on, browsing the web, you get 5 hours of battery life.





at the price
