Let’s begin… (Start from the bottom up, and don’t forget to refresh your browser!)

It has voiceover, and offers 15-hour life. It will come in 5 colors, for $49.
Tiny little thing with the buttons. It has playlists (and can speak the playlists); there are multiple ones you can have on there, and there’s now also genius playlists.

First, the iPod Shuffle. People apparently missed the buttons, so the little guy is bringing them back.
Here’s the jewel: The iPod announcements. Apple has sold 275 million of these to date. And there will be new designs for every model.
Again, iPad is getting multitasking, folders and other iOS goodness IN NOVEMBER. And it will be a FREE update!
AirTunes has gotten redubbed to AirPlay. Users will be able to stream video and audio over WiFi! More on Airplay in a sec. First, Jobs mentions that the multitasking, folders and other stuff iPhone users currently enjoy with iOS is coming to the iPad in November.

Wowsers, here’s a peek at iOS 4.2: A serious iPad enhancement — wireless printing with a new native feature.
iOS 4.1 is available next week.
If you dig multiplayer mode, this looks pretty sharp. It’s from Epic Games, and it’s the company’s first Apple game. It uses the Unreal 3 Engine.

This will work with all sorts of games, so users can challenge each other in Angry Birds to the RPG game Project Sword. (Looks pretty stunning, actually.)

“Game Center is all about multiplayer games. You can challenge your friends or they can challenge you, and if you don’t have any friends we’ll match you with someone.” Basically, it’s social gaming.
On to Game Center. About time. Jobs has been hawking this since the iOS preview last spring.

That High Dynamic Range feature is very cool. Basically, the user just takes different pics of the same subject, each focused on highs, lows and mids. Then it mashes them together, so you have the best photo with all the range. (No more blown out parts of an otherwise great photo. And no dismally dark areas either.) With iOS 4.1, it will do that natively now, for HDR images. Seriously nice. I hope it works as well as he says it does.
With iOS 4.1, there are bug fixes galore: proximity, Bluetooth, iPhone 3G. (Wow, I guess those rumors about 4.1 not fixing proximity were totally bogus — just as Cam figured). 4.1 also includes high dynamic range photos, HD uploads over WiFi, TV show rentals… (wait, TV show rentals? I guess that’s one rumor that just panned out.)

120 million iOS devices shipped, 230,000 new iOS activations per day, over 200 apps downloaded every second, 25,000 iPad apps in existence… and today, iOS 4.1 is revealed!
Jobs goes into some numbers: 10 countries, >1 million visitors some days, 80,000/week, >50% buying their first Mac, etc…

Jobs opens by talking about all the new Apple Stores all over the world. I have to admit, some of them are really nice, like this one from Paris.
