This morning, 10:00 AM PST, in San Jose, California Steve Jobs revealed not one, but two great new Apple Products, the new iMac G5 and the new iPod. (Watch the Keynote) As well as the new iMac G5 and the new video iPod, Apple also released iTunes 6. Today, I have a review of all three:

The iMac G5
This iMac G5 design is quite similar to the previous iMac G5 except for a three cool changes. The new 17″ runs at $1299 and the 20″ runs at $1699.

1. Built in iSight Camera

Compatible with iChat AV

Able to take pictures of yourself with Photo Booth

Jump back and forth from Frontrow to your desktop

iTunes 6

You have read all about how these new iPods can play videos and TV shows but where are you going to get them? Along with announcing the new iPod and the new iMac G5, Apple also released iTunes 6. The free download can be found on Apple’s Website or by Software Update. iTunes 6 has the same interface as iTunes 5 and didn’t look different at all after I had downloaded it. Then I looked at the source bar and low and behold there is a section called “videos”.

iTunes 6 now sells music videos for $1.99

iTunes 6 now sells Pixar Animations for $1.99

iTunes 6 now sells TV Shows for $1.99

iTunes 6 now has a “Just for You” section of the Music Store - A place where iTunes gives you recommendations based on the songs you have previously bought

With iTunes 6 you can now give a song, album, video, TV show, animation or playlist to someone via email

For more information on iTunes 6 you can go to Apple’s Website
