The new nano:

He's scrolling in Cover Flow -- it looks decent, but a bit choppy and slow. Not super surprising considering the nano doesn't exactly have a lot of horsepower under the hood. Don't expect the iPhone Cover Flow experience, people!

-4GB comes in silver at $149 and 8GB in all colors for $199
The battery life is awesome: 24 hours audio, 5 hours video playback.
T3h neu "iPod Classic":

This new 160GB, which is far smaller than the original iPod, puts 40k songs in your pocket. Even better: battery life. 40 hours audio, 7 hours video.
"The 80GB used to sell for 350, now it's 250.The 160GB is $350."
The new "iPod Touch":
I think I pretty much called this. The iPhone sans the phone.

Antenna on back, lefthand side for WiFi, 802.11b/g
Everything controls the same as the iPhone. It has YouTube and Safari. Thus far it IS the iPhone without the phone.

Wifi antenna. ugh?
-Offer iPod touch in 8GB and 16GB of storage
-22 hours of audio playback, 5 hours of video playback
available in "just a few weeks" this month, $299 and $399 respectively
iTunes Store:
I called this one too.
-iTunes WiFi music store, free previews over WiFi for any song in the store, if you like it you can buy it now on the iPod touch and listen to it
-Next time you dock on the computer, it syncs back up to iTunes on the computer

Is that a hint?

Stabucks button!?!?! WTF:
-When you get near a Starbucks, automatically a 5th button will show up in the store with Starbucks logo
-Can now buy whatever song is playing at Starbucks with one tap of a finger
-iTunes WiFi music store free access to WiFi at Starbucks
-iPod or iPhone will automatically recognize the song that's playing at the current store and 10 previous songs, buy it with one click
-Available in iPhone too later this month with a free software update
iPhone:
-8GB iPhone now $399 (I think they're dropping the 4GB model)
