Via Engadget.com, the following have been announced at the Big Apple Mystery Announcment:

  • New iMac:
    (1) It’s even thinner. The 20-inch is now thinner than the 17 used to be.(2) iSight videocam. The new mac has an iSight built in. The camera has even better specs. Right out of the box videoconferencing without any extra stuff. We wrote a new app called PhotoBooth. [Demo: It has a built in flash - the entire display flashes. There are special effects including “Warhol” and effects that morph your face goofily.]

    (3) Front Row. It s a new way to experience the media on your computer. It’s an incredible way to enjoy your music, your videos, and your photos … from your sofa. We’ve done a remote control, Apple style. It’s got six buttons. [Demo: He presses remote and a menu for Music / Photo / DVD / Video zooms in. There’s a giant iPod-style interface for music. “I can enjoy my music from across the room and see the artwork.” Photos navigates through everything in iPhoto with slide show effects for albums. “Now, a lot of people watch DVDs in their iMac, and it would be nice to control them from across the room. Now you can.” [Loads DVD of The Incredibles with menu that blurs out the typically unusuable menu on the DVD with an iPod-style menu. Movie posters and trailers in HD format streamed from apple.com] This remote control, I just wanted to point something that to me captures what Apple is all about. [Shot of huge button-congested remotes next to the tiny 6-button Apple remote]

    Specs: Bluetooth, Superdrive, Mighty Mouse standard. 17-inch $1299. 20-inch $1699. Available today.

  • VIDEO IPOD!!!!!!! Actually, it’s still a music-first ddevice, but it supports video. The device will feature a 2.5-inch display, QVGA resolution (320 x 240), and will MPEG-4 h.264 (natch), and presumably Quicktime. The new iPod will be 30% thinner than the current 20GB iPod, and will feature a 60GB version and editions of both in black. The 20GB should go for $299, and the 60GB for $399. They’ll be shipping next week. An guess what? It’s still called the ipod. No ipod video. Just iPod. Also, this ‘pod will sport a video out port.
  • Guess what? After just ONE MONTH of iTunes 5.0, we’ll already be getting iTunes 6.0!!!!!!!!!!! Well, that’s Apple for you. It has 2,000 music videos for download at $1.99 apiece. PLUS iTunes 6.0 will have TV shows avalible for download at $1.99 apiece. Currently you can only get Desperate Housewives and 4 other other ABC shows. Videos are native QVGA resolution.And that’s all folks! Any more information on this announcment can be found at apple.com or engadget.com

    • Make the podcast avalible in MP3 apposed to AAC
    • Change the ID3 tag information
    • Fix Austen’s sound by using aheadset mic
    • Mention our email address (teentechbuzz@gmail.com) and give some hints into what will be on the next podcast
    • Change show description so link to the episode dosn’t appear in iTunes and elsewhere
    • Possibly add an enhanced AAC version with Chapter Markers and Images for you iTunes users out there

    Also, the podcast will now come out every two weeks.
