• iPod prices: 5GB = $299, 10GB = $399, 20GB = $499. "Extras" (remote, etc.) can be purchased for all iPods for $39
  

• New apps: iSync (phone sync), iCal, iTunes 3, Sherlock 3, enhanced Mail and Address Book

See our play-by-play of the expo for detailed info.

As suspected, no new PowerMacs (they are rumored to be released in August). Keeping in mind the fact that Apple cannot work miracles every six months, we think this was a pretty good show. The iMac becomes far more appealing and we've got lots of new apps to play with and a few better ways to listen to our tunes. Check Apple's site.
