The iTunes Store is being updated… Have a look at the change in the name, it’s not the “iTunes Music Store” anymore!
This is probably due that Apple is going to announce Movie downloads as well as Music downloads.
Expect new iPods to be released as well. Regarding the iPhone, I think this won’t be happening yet.
The Videostream of the event has benn spotted but don’t expect to be it live. Probably it will be functional as soon as the event is over. The event will take place today at 10:00am Pacific time at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in downtown San Francisco.
Nike+iPod
Thanks to a unique partnership between Nike and Apple, your iPod nano becomes your coach.
Consisting of a sensor that gets places inside the Nike shoe and a receiver attached to Apple’s nano into the Dock connector, the data while you run gets monitored on the nano, displayed back and giving you voice feedback.
If that wasn’t enough, a new syncing service will upload your workout data to both iTunes and nikeplus.com, where you can see your runs, set goals, and challenge friends.
There will also be a Nike Sport Music section in iTunes where you can download workout mixes depending on time or distance based workouts. Top athletes will chose their favorite playlists and audio and video podcast will be created for this new venture.
