Apple's iPod, Apple TV Updates: 10 Big Questions and Answers | News & Opinion | PCMag.com"With Steve Jobs and company unveiling so many new products—new iPods, a reborn Apple TV, Ping, iOS4 updates and more—a few questions is only natural.
Apple now lives is a Sisyphean world where no matter how far up the hill it pushes the hype boulder, it's always rolling back down by the end of the day. At this point, there's no way any Apple launch event can live up to expectations. That said, Apple CEO Steve Jobs certainly gave it the old college try yesterday. There were a lot of product updates. The whole iPod line got a refresh. He introduced not one but two iOS updates, and we got a new version of iTunes. The two biggest announcements were, easily, the revitalized Apple TV and the surprising social network for music, Ping.
Since Ping is part of iTunes 10, it didn't get the 'one more thing' treatment (Apple TV was the chosen one). That's kind of a shame since it was, easily, the most unexpected launch of the day. iTunes has 160 million users and now—Bingo!—they're, potentially, all part of a brand new social network. This raised eyebrows and questions. In fact, I heard a lot of questions both during and after the presentation. Let's walk through them and, in lieu of getting a one-on-one with Steve Jobs, here are all of my best answers.
