Okay I was mostly right on the TV thing. We saw new Nanos, very nice, a new cute shuffle, great for running and active use, and we saw iMovies turn up on iTunes.

I didn’t resist temptation and I did upgrade to iTune 7 as soon as it arrived. The process took about 10 mins including a reboot and an upgrade to Quicktime. The movies are all from Disney Labels, Pixlar, Disney, Miramax, and Touchstone. For my first experience I chose DeathRace 2000. This is shlock comedy from 1975 with David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone. The download was 915MB and took about 40mins. Not bad on my (alleged) 5MB cable modem. The movie was very bad, in fact so bad it was funny. The size of the screen has been increased to 640×480 as a compromise. This worked fine on my Powerbook. However my biggest problem is that there is no DVD extras, only the movie. There is the issue of language and audio selection which I think they will eventually work out.

The new interface for Itunes is very clean and presents the state of the art in on-line Movie Stores. The new Cover Flow technology (acquired from another company) is very easy to use and very useful.

You can see the Photo Shots on CNET.

However what caught my eye was the new “iTV”. This is the Video Express product that

The iChat feature will be the next step. This will allow you to talk iChat throughout your house and with your friends who also have “iApple Homes”. More on the Apple iHome soon, and how to create a “slam dunk” in home entertainment.
