Alright. Apple has launched the new iPod touch that comes with facetime, retina display, HD video recording and importantly, 40 hours battery life for audio playback (details). The best way to describe the new iPod touch is that it’s an iPhone without a phone!

iTunes’ latest update, version 10 is out (download link) and notable feature being Ping, the social network for music (Apple’s first ever foray into social networking). I just downloaded and apart from icon revamps,the new version is super fast, as compared to 9.2.1 (first impressions).
Detailed review of the social network (follow/follower play) later.

Surprising that when Apple holds a press release/conference, every other company holds on to their announcements as they all know that media/bloggers will be eating the Apple pie.
