Apple Inc. unveiled a smaller, cheaper version of Apple TV, which connects to a high-definition television and can show rented movies and TV shows from Apple's own service, plus content from Netflix, photos on Flickr, YouTube clips and more. Apple's new TV box, about four inches square, still doesn't record television, but it comes at a time when more people have gotten used to watching shows online. The device lets people rent, not buy, content. Apple TV owners will pay $4.99 to rent first-run high-definition movies the day they come out on DVD. High-definition TV show rentals will be 99 cents.

Apple Inc. announced that iPhone users will be getting a software update that offers the ability to upload high-definition video over Wi-Fi. The new software is version 4.1 of the iOS system. It will be available next week for free, initially for Apple Inc.'s iPhone and iPod Touch. The iPad currently runs an older version. The upcoming update will add such features as wireless printing to Apple's tablet computer.

Apple Inc. announced the new iPod touch(R), packed with incredible new features including Apple's stunning Retina(TM) display, FaceTime(R) video calling, HD video recording, Apple's A4 chip, 3-axis gyro, iOS 4.1 and Game Center--all combined in the thinnest and lightest iPod touch ever. The new iPod touch features up to 40 hours of music playback and seven hours of video playback on a single battery charge. The Retina display has 960 x 640 pixels--four times as many pixels than before. The resulting 326 pixels per inch is so dense that the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels when iPod touch is held at a normal distance, making text, images and video look sharper, smoother and more realistic. With the new front-facing camera and mic, iPod touch users can make FaceTime video calls over Wi-Fi. With just one tap of the new FaceTime app, iPod touch users can call other new iPod touch or iPhone(R) 4 users to easily see what their friends are up to, share important moments like the first day of school and even show others what they are seeing by easily switching to the rear-facing camera. The rear-facing camera on iPod touch is perfect for HD video recording. Users can easily capture HD video wherever they are and share it via email, MobileMe(TM) and YouTube. With the iMovie(R) app, users can combine movie clips, add dynamic transitions and themes and include photos and music right on their iPod touch. Users can buy and download the app for just $4.99 through the App StoreSM right on their iPod touch. Apple's A4 chip provides iPod touch users with exceptional processor and graphics performance along with long battery life. This remarkably fast and power-efficient chip, along with the Retina display and 3-axis gyro, makes games on iPod touch the best they've ever been on any mobile device. The new iPod touch comes with iOS 4.1, the newest version of the world's most advanced mobile operating system. iOS 4.1 enables new features like FaceTime video calling, multitasking, folders and Game Center. Apple's new holiday lineup includes a brand new iPod shuffle(R) for just $49; the amazing new iPod nano(R) with Multi-Touch(TM) starting at just $149; the incredible new iPod touch with Retina display, Apple's A4 chip, FaceTime, HD video recording and Game Center starting at just $229; and the iPod classic(R) in a 160GB model for $249. The new iPod touch will be available for a suggested price of $229 for the 8GB model, $299 for the 32GB model and $399 for the 64GB model through the Apple Store(R), Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. iPod touch requires a Mac(R) with a USB 2.0 port, Mac OS(R) X v10.5.8 or later and iTunes 10 or later; or a Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port and Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional (Service Pack 3) or later and iTunes 10 or later. Existing second and third generation iPod touch users can update to iOS 4.1 free of charge on September 8 to enjoy new features including Game Center.
