Daring Fireball has posted some interesting observations from yesterdays Apple event. The most interesting ones to me are:
– The new iPods do not support FireWire
– The itunes video downloads are low-res 320×240
– Video playback battery life sucks. 2hrs for 30gb, 3hrs for 60
Here is the full list. [Link]
One thing I would like to add here. When I got my first iPod it came with a case, remote control and a power adapter. The new iPods don’t come with either and that really sucks.

Mine came with all those too, but then again back then the price was much more. I’ve never once used the case or the remote so I don’t mind that they’re not there but it’s stupid to sell them without power adaptors. I’ve never once charged my iPod from the laptop.
well the prices were 299,399 and 499.
the 399 and 499 came with the remote and the case. all three came with power adapters.
i used to use the case a lot and the remote but rarely the poweradapter. when i travelled i used to take the adapter with me and now i would have to buy one to do that.
