If you're a True Believer® and have already pored over published reports of the multitude of announcements made today by Apple, you'll probably enjoy Jon Gruber's easy-to-read bullet point list of clarifications and amplifications and observations and cogitations.

Oh, and I just figured out why there's no announcement about a new product called the "video iPod" or "iPod video." That's because the video playback feature is simply a standard feature on the iPod (excluding shuffle and nano, of course). IOW, you can't buy a regular iPod without the video capability.

Thanks for the reminder about DaringFireball - Mr. Gruber is always on top of things. And a fine writer, too!

Your statement that "you can't buy a regular iPod without the video" got me wondering about my iPod. It's a new (for some definitions of "new") click-wheel one, but it has a black & white screen. I'm going to have to search iTMS for I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners and such.

(wouldn't that be cool? black & white TV shows to tell you just how outdated your 9-month-old iPod is...)

Well, I'm glad I didn't buy an iPod last week.

Brian, surely there's a firmware upgrade somewhere that would accomplish that! ;-)

Scott, you're a very lucky guy, alright. But I think you're safe now...for at least another month or so. I'm sure the announcement of the "TV Receiver and Satellite Radio iPod" will be out by Thanksgiving.
