A brief update on Apple's MacWorld product announcements:

iPod Shuffle
$99 512MB
$150 1GB
No display
size of a flash drive
smaller and lighter than a pack of gum
(Looks like smartplaylists would be handy here!)


MacMini
A real mac
$500
6.5 x 6.5 x 2.0 "
2.9 lbs
1.2GHz G4
Combo Drive
Firewire 400/USB 2.0

New iLife '05:

$0.29 prints
new book formats including soft cover

iMovie HD

Magic iMovie (some sort of auto-edit)

iDVD 5
new themes

more flexible

GarageBand 2.0
orchestral instruments jam pack
8 track recording
real time music notation

vocal transformer

iTunes
No major version update
(This is typical of the past few years- we would like to see 5.0 though)
Apple did release 4.7.1 on the web to fix a security issue and add support for iPod Shuffle.

Final Cut HD Express
adds HD to low cost suite


iWork Package
Pages- word processor (more like a page layout program)
Keynote 2


Tiger 10.4
will ship in the first half of 2005.


iPhone?
A Motorola phone was shown with an "iTunes client" software
Certainly not an Apple product, but a familiar interface.

By the way, the new iPod ad song is called "Jerk It Out" by the Caesars.
