Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

... 2nd gen iPod Shuffles: 1GB only, reduced price, aluminum body. Approx the size of a tic-tac.

No word of the kind of full-screen video iPod that the rumors have hinted at.

New iTunes version, with sub-libraries by media type, different arrangement of source lists. (This will make my life easier at work. Personally, don't much care). Different views in iTunes, visual search by cover art...

NFL games in store. Free cover art in store.

640x480 video!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Approx the size of a tic-tac

Must be fiddly as hell on the controls.

I find the old shuffle to be that way already. And I may have exaggerated and it's the size of a Chiclet, but, yeah.

I've been having horrible luck with engadget today, Tom - but I can't wait to see.

... also new, and HUGE, you can now sync an iPod to a second computer. I assume not to all computers, but I'm guessing it's for when you get a new machine and authorize it.

Movies (Disney affiliates, near-DVD quality, release date same as DVD but cheaper).

... and one more thing (they always go for the "and one more thing") - wireless set-top box.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
