It will also include an exterior volume control and a built-in speaker for "casual listening." There is no microphone built in, but the touch will work with new Apple headphones that include a microphone on the cord.

Major points...
iPod classic has been reduced to a single size (120 gig) for $250 USD
iPod touch adds an integrated volume controls on its side (F**kin finally),
a built-in speaker, ("casual listening, not for audiophiles" - jobs)
Genius playlist integration
genius is a sort of smart playlist, like last.fm or pandora, only it uses the music already in your library and creates a smart playlist from the current track you are listening to. Theyve had it in itunes since version 8
A few games were also introduced for it, Spore Origins, Real Soccer 2009, and Need for Speed Undercover
The Touch is available in 8, 16, and 32GB, for $229, $299, and $399, respectively
the big thing was for the nano, however
returns to a second gen style, a long rectangle, now with a longer screen for video playback
now comes with built in voice recorder
accelerometer for switching between views
shake-to-shuffle - shake the **** out of your nano and randomly shuffle to a new song (via accelerometer and genius)
all products are now arsenic-free glass and materials that are BFR, Mecrury, and PVC-free.
Both the Nano and Touch are getting software updates (v2.1 is free to those who already downloaded 2.0.)
Everyone else pays $9.95
The company also used the event to announce the release of new headphones that feature built-in volume controls and a devoted woofer and tweeter in each ear. The headphones won't come bundled with any of the players, rather they'll be available separately for $79.
all in all, its getting harder and harder to beat ipods price per feature
google is amast with blog reviews of the event if you have any questions
otherwise...flame-on
