Apple announced some new editions to its iPod roster yesterday. You've probably read all about the new iPod nano and the new iPod touch, which is like an iPhone without the phone capabilities. To go along with the is the WiFi music store, which is a simple music store that sells a la carte downloads. One thing that interested me was the partnership with Starbucks for the WiFi music store. That's an incredible pairing of lifestyle powerhouses.

Here are some of the comments I've run across on the Internet.

Engadget liveblogged the keynote and has extensive pictures and commentary.

Gizmodo has "5 Things We Love, 5 Things We Hate About the New iPod Lineup." Loves the WiFi Music Store and 160GB iPod Classic. Hates the the iPod Touch's 16GB of memory and the 99-cent ringtone surcharge.

Also at Gizmodo, video of using an iPod Touch.

Bit Player pines for a subscription service: "What (Apple) hasn't done, unlike some other Wi-Fi enabled players, is change the game for music fans. ... Wi-Fi without access to an unlimited library of tracks just doesn't seem like much fun to me."

Jupiter analyst Michael Gartenberg: "I believe Apple once again met and exceeded increasingly high expectations. It now has a very deep and complete product line for going into the holiday season, at amazing price points and feature sets that will drive different customers into different purchase funnels. ... Apple is NOT preaching to the choir here, they're looking to get a whole new customer into the house of worship and that's exactly what's likely to happen this holiday season."

From a Billboard.biz article: Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster calls it "the most exciting iPod lineup ever" while iSuppli thinks it's a "stop gap" measure until flash drives increase in capacity and fall in price.

And only slightly related, A Q&A with Steve Jobs at USA Today: "Q: Many people already have Beatles music on CDs. Will they really buy it online if they already own it? A: I do expect them to, yes. That's been the case with other music, as well. I own every Bob Dylan album ever, but I buy a lot of it on iTunes, because I guess I'm just too lazy to rip it from the CD."
