About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Wednesday, September 05, 2007Apple Fall 2007 Products: A TimelineSo it's September 5, 2007 and Apple just announced a bunch of brand new iPods and other related products. But as anyone who waited for an iPod mini back in early 2004 will tell you, an Apple announcement does not a product availability make. (Or, ahem, whatever.) So when can we actually expect to see these new products (in the US)? Here's a timeline.iPod shuffle Status: A hold-over from last year, but with new colors Pricing: $79 ($1 GB) Availability: Immediate Apple Store delivery estimate: Within 24 hours, but green version is "not available" iPod nano Status: Completely redesigned hardware and software Pricing: $149 (4 GB), $199 (8 GB) Availability: This weekend Apple Store shipping estimate: 1-3 business days iPod classic Status: Hardware is held-over from 2005, but with new software UI Pricing: $249 (80 GB), $349 (160 GB) Availability: This weekend Apple Store shipping estimate: 1-3 business days iPod touch Status: Completely new model, based on iPhone Pricing: $299 (8 GB), $399 (16 GB) Availability: Late this month Apple Store shipping estimate: By September 28 iPhone Status: 4 GB model dropped, now just a single model, otherwise unchanged Pricing: $399 (8 GB) Availability: Immediate Apple Store shipping estimate: Within 24 hours It will be interesting to see how the iPod touch availability, especially, matches Apple's promise. And let's not forget the weird new Starbucks service for the iPod touch and iPhone: According to Apple, that service will debut in New York and Seattle on October 2, 2007, and then be added to 350 Starbucks stores in the San Francisco Bay area on November 7, 2007, then 500 stores in Los Angeles in early February 2008, 300 stores in Chicago in March 2008, and additional markets throughout the US later in 2008. The service will be available throughout the US sometime in 2009. [ Posted at 4:06 PM | Permalink ]
