2GB, 4GB, and 8GB new redesigned Nano's announced....for $149, $199, and $249 respectively. Slacker Nothing surprising so far, and the stock decrease reflects that. apple.com "Walt Disney Pictures, Pixar, Touchstone Pictures and Miramax Films" are pretty much the Disney studios. With the recent Pixar deal, Jobs big Disney stockholder, and a voice on the board, it's not surprising. Now let's see if there's any outside support to be announce in the following days. That would be one of those famous "one more thing..." to give the stock a boost. I wouldn't be surprised if they added Hollywood Pictures and Dimension Films, who they have a close connection, and wouldn't really consider those outside support. Sony/Columbia is likely a holdout. WB/AOL might be an early adopter along with FOX. Independent studios might be the best bests to line up first. The risk of these downloads is hurting their other outlets, but the TV studios are generating nothing but revenue. I doubt they get $2/show in advertisement revenues that they're getting for downloads, especially in the re-run category (assuming they can control propagation). Even events like the SuperBowl and PPV are probably the only things generating much greater than that. BTW, the new Shuffle design is pretty slick! apple.com Challenges mobibluamerica.com for title as "smallest MP3 player". I think beating it on weight, thinness and volume. It's so small, one of the phone makers may want to integrate it into the back of one of their phones. Make it even smaller removing the clip, battery, and headphone plug.
