I don’t have an “Apple Computers” category, and don’t feel like making one, so I’m throwing this under “Hardware”. It’s close enough.

The big news is that Apple has come out with a new iPod, this one dubbed the iPod Nano. It is available in 2GB or 4GB versions, and apparently has a memory stick in it rather than a hard drive.

Next up in the Apple world is the announcement of an iTunes Mobile Phone. The phone is exclusively available from Cingular right now and has a price tag of about $250.

Apple has also released iTunes 5.0 for those of you who use it. Personally, I think there are better services out there if you want digital music, but hey, if you’re part of the group that loves the iPod, don’t guess you have much of a choice, do ya?

And do not let my wife know about it, but Apple has also released a Harry Potter version of the iPod. If that wasn’t bad enough, you can download the Harry Potter audio books from iTunes. Woohoo.

Ok, ok…. I’m kidding. The Harry Potter stuff isn’t that bad.
