Apple iPad Weighs In

The biggest news from today’s Apple event is that Steve Jobs has returned to his keynote duties. He even encouraged everyone to become organ donors! He still looked like Ghandi, but I’ll be damned if everyone following the event doesn’t want to go out and buy one of those new iPods.

With speculation regarding The Beatles catalog and months of wagering on the release of an Apple tablet, the products announced were a bit underwhelming: iTunes 9 featuring iTunes LP, which is supposed to coax you into purchasing more than just singles off iTunes (the opposite direction from an iTunes subscription service), and a new Nano that features a video camera, an FM tuner, and a pedometer. Goodbye Flip Mino, hello Nano!
