At what Apple has called "a special music event" Steve Jobs (Apple, CEO) has jumped on stage to announce a slew of new products.

iTunes 5: Available today the player that has 85% market share globally will come with a new refined look. Users will be able to organise folders of playlists, Sync with Microsoft Outlook for contacts/calendar, parental tags and album reviews amongst the many new features. http://www.apple.com/itunes/overview/

The black nano is actually quite sexy, I will wait till I see these in the shops before I buy one, but may buy my first iPod...

the Nano is amazing, but it seems like a tedious job to use that click wheel on such a tiny thing, but apple is known to be good at handling things like that, so I guess I'll try it out first. And it looks like they've finally did some needed work to improve the performance of iTunes on Windows XP, it seems a LOT faster than 4.*.

You call it inconsistency, they call it renovation.

I was guessing if it was YOUR second language, as you failed to understand very clear instructions during installation.
