It’s Only Rock and Roll!

Apple held their special media event, “It’s Only Rock & Roll but we Like It”.   A standing ovation was given to Steve Jobs who has just returned from serious illness.  He said he’s happy to be ‘vertical’ and enjoying being back at Apple every day.

New Apple iPod nano

One of the biggest rumours (or worst kept secrets) this year has been the news that Apple would release a new iPod nano with video recording.

Low and behold – they did this week during the keynote at their special media event.

The new Apple iPod nano in 8Gb and 16Gb, with video recording, mic and speaker.  Now you capture anything anywhere, sync to your Mac or PC and upload to YouTube with one click. Why not start your own YouTube channel?

What else is new about the iPod nano? The beautiful colours – polished anodised aluminum. Sweeeet.  More on Apple keynote: iPod nano

“Cheap iPod nano news to music lovers”

Cheap?

Well, that is, comparatively to the US dollar!

The Australian price for the iPod is $AU199 ($US131.95).

A survey by CommSec reports that currently Australia is the cheapest place among 62 countries to buy Apple’s 8Gb iPod nano.

In July we only ranked 14th cheapest, but the sharp decline of our dollar, has meant we took out the top spot.

According to CommSec chief equities economist, Craig James, we are the cheapest place to buy the iPod nano, by a “considerable margin”.

South Korea ($US139.72), Canada ($US138.73) and Indonesia ($US138.47) are vying for second spot, but prices in each country are around five per cent dearer than in Australia”.

So, is this bad news, or good news?

The sharp fall of the Australian dollar since July will boost trade competitiveness and assist in insulating Australia from the downturn in the global economy.” James said.

Aussies are high achievers – we love winning things. But, can we really crack out the champers on this ‘win’?

Ok, why not?!  I guess it would be un-Australian not to celebrate…
