The 9th September's Lets Rock event by Apple, that brought in the refreshed iPod lineup was an eagerly awaited one. Despite rumors and concerns, Steve Jobs, proving them false and highly exaggerated, took the stage and delivered the keynote. Now since I (and all other MacBoys) always keep scouring the web for rumors (and of course, facts) related to Apple, I pretty much know what will be happening at such events. But there's always a hope for something - that li-tt-le something, that the God would pop out with his magic wand, something that had been completely covered, away from the eyes of the world and rumormongers. In terms of an Apple event, I always wait for the ever-famous "One More Thing".
But this time, Apple chose to disappoint its followers on that. There was no One More Thing that in this event. Well, not exactly. Though there wasn't any mention about it, there are reports that talk about a 4GB version of the iPod Nano. Though this is not as big as One More Thing, but let me be happy, for this was something that surprised me. Officially announced, were the 8GB and 16GB versions.
The lickable (check this ad out, those things 'are' lickable) iPod's 4GB versions are appearing as Limited Editions in a few stores like this one in Netherands. Available in all 9 colors and at a price of €119 (roughly translates to INRs. 7740) according to a comment by an Apple's spokesperson appearing in this website, the 4GB model is a limited edition model and has been made for some international markets.
Now that gets a little exciting. I hope Apple includes the India in that list of international markets and we have the 4GB model here.
Hoping to buy this Nano sometime soon.
(I know, I had promised myself not to ask mom and dad for anything else after the MacBook, but come on, I'm their only son ;) )
