Once again, I have no idea what to call the plants I’m taking photos of. Freaky medieval white spiked battle club. Not a pummelo.

Apple iTunes, video iPod

Apple goes great guns. New video iPod supports downloadable videos, including TV shows from ABC/Disney currently (like Lost, Desperate Housewives I think), and where do you get those videos? iTunes, of course. Presenting the all-new, all-shiny, all-dancing machine – Apple!

News: iLounge Exclusive: New iPod revealed: “iLounge has snapped exclusive photos of advertisements for the new iPod, which will be introduced today Apple’s ‘One more thing’ event in San Jose, California. The posters clearly show an all-new iPod model with a larger display, approximately 2.5 to 2.6 inches diagonal, compared to the current full-size iPod’s 2-inch screen.…”

iLounge says they’ve got the scoop on Apple’s big deal today. They’re getting huge traffic at that link, so here’s another, live updates of the apple event!

PPS Unlike the Sunday Times who did
PPPS Come to think of it, so did the Guardian
PPPPS The Sunday Telegraph apologised afterwards
