Apple has come out with two new products. First is the new iPhone. This is not your standard phone...in fact is is lightyears beyond anything that is on the market today. It has a wide screen display that displays either tall-ways or wide-ways depending on how you are holding it (yes, it senses it's own position). It has an actually working OS that has full browsing features (not any of that WEP crap, but actual full web browsing) and music playback via the music it pulled when syncing up with your iTunes library. It has video playback, up to 8gb internal memory, and a memory card port for aditional memory. And if this isn't enough, it also has a 2mp digital camera, Blue Tooth capabilities, and auto-senses that it is pressed to your ear to turn on the phone features. The iPhone is scheduled to be released this June.
The second product is the new AppleTV. This unit is designed to wirelessly connect your television to your iTunes library. With the AppleTV box you can play all of your favorite music videos, music, TV shows, and (another new apple feature) movies that you have purchased on iTunes or that you have added via other methods to your iTunes library. Forget the movie store, forget 1-time movie rentals on your digital box, and forget snail mail videos. With iTunes and your AppleTV box you can purchase your movie online and be watching it on your television within minutes. And, yes, it is HDTV compatible.
The AppleTV is available for purchase as of today, starting at $299.

A few more notes about he iPhone
First, one more feature that has been brought to my attention is the phone's ability to connect to WiFi networks. Man, I love this phone.
There are, in my mind, only two problems associated with this phone:
1) Apple has given an exclusive two year contract to Cingular, so they will be the only ones carrying the phone at first and
2)Apple is fighting Cisco for the use of the name "iPhone" as Cisco currently owns the rights to this name for a VoIP service they inherited when they purchased a company named Infogear. Apple has tried negotiating for the rights, but feels that if Cisco decided to follow through with their lawsuit, the courts will side with Apple.
apple tv.... drool....
