The Apple event is on-going. They have to go through the boring self back patting for a while first.


Apple TV
They announced a new Apple TV (the small box, not an actual TV).

* New UI
* Movie purchased stored in cloud now
* $99, available next week


The new iPad

* AT&T, Verizon, Rogers, Bell, and Telus LTE, HSPA+, and 3G
* 10 hours battery life, 9 hours with 4G

A serious upgrade over my First Gen iPad, this is a must-have for me.

It feels like they spent 5 minutes talking about their $500 tablet and 30 minutes talking about their $5 iPhoto app.

And STILL no confirmed name for the new iPad

This positions the new iPad as the defacto standard to beat. Android and Windows tablets have some catching up to do!

Apparently it has no name. They just announced it as "The new iPad". Hmm... so what the hell do we call this thing next year when another "new iPad" is released?
