Steve Jobs, CEO Apple, uses a special press conference at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco to outline a new approach Apple’s music and entertainment services.

“One of the biggest things we focused on ITunes this discovery. There are more than 12 million songs to choose from, so how do you find new things?” Asked Jobs.

“So we’ve run Ping – a social network, which is all about music. It’s like Facebook and Twitter Meets ITunes. You can follow your favorite artists and friends and find out what music they like and download.”

Jobs also introduced a compact new Apple TV set-top box, a little more than a drink coaster that can “flow” of content such as music, movies and television shows from the internet directly on your TV screen.

Jobs, who had previously rejected for the Apple TV as a “hobby”, acknowledged that, although loved the device, it is only sold in modest numbers,

He said that the company listened to feedback from users about what they want from the console, as well as reviewed the device to meet those needs.

“They want on-demand access to Hollywood movies and TV shows, they do not want an amateur stuff,” he said. “They want their movies and TV shows in high definition, and you want to pay less for this content.

“And they do not want the computer to television – although it’s hard for people, one in the computer industry to understand. And they do not want to manage storage of downloaded movies and programs.”

The new model TV, Apple will allow users to “rent” movies and television shows for a modest fee, with a high-definition movies available on the day of release DVD for $ 4.99 and television programs 99C. The device itself will cost $ 99 – around $ 200 less than its predecessor – although Apple has not released details of pricing, UK.

Jobs also used the annual September press conference, Apple, to show the new look Ipods, including the lower quad Ipod Shuffle with buttons and a tiny Ipod Nano is controlled through the touch screen. Apple also introduced a new IPod Touch with the same Sharp retinal display iPhone 4 as well as dual camera to capture high-definition, as well as to create video calls using FaceTime application Apple.

“IPod has become the most popular IPod for us,” Jobs said. “It’s also a number of portable game consoles in the world, outselling the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable, together.”

Apple ads have been met with enthusiasm of industry observers.

“Apple TV is a great story,” said Michael Gartenberg, a senior analyst Altimeter Group. “It helps Apple maintain its lead in music, and attracts new innovations in the living room.

“The new Apple TV is that TV phones Iphones were three years ago. Stage is set for mass market adoption.”

But some consumers are skeptical about that, Apple TV will not blow. “It’s not bad, but it is still expensive $ 5 for a movie rental,” says Mike Liddle on Twitter. “Especially when translating into more expensive markets in the UK?”

iphone 4 Press Conference,Apple Announcement

iphone 4 Press Conference,Apple Announcement:Journalists poured into the headquarters of Apple this morning at a press conference surprise, to discuss issues, Apple with the iPhone in 4 antennas, which are plaguing the gadget – and announced a free case to fix it.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs did not open new gizmos and gadgets, and he did not announce the partnership with Verizon, as many analysts had predicted. In addition, he did not apologize and did not declare the software fix.

But he did announce the correct type: free cases for iPhone 4 buyers.

As Jobs took the stage, he began his statement by presenting 15-minute presentation – but Jobs has promised that he will answer questions each in the near future. The presentation, which detailed defense of the Apple iPhone 4 of “antennagate”, as he described his work showed a similar reception issues with other smartphones, in particular, Blackberry Bold 9700 smartphone, and Samsung.

The conclusion is obvious: Cell phone reception is a challenge for the industry.

As for the report, Bloomberg, that the company knew in advance about the problems with the antenna, the work of art called the “Crock”.

In response to numerous appeals and complaints, which came out this week, journalists working for the details of his mobile phone test set, a futuristic environment, which Jobs said, contained “17 anechoic chamber. But Jobs said that only 0.55% of customers were calling about the antenna shortcomings.

According to industry analyst Michael Gartenberg, a return rate of around 5% will be more evidence of serious flaws. Jobs said that only 1.7% of people returned to the phone.

But Apple has never announced software fixes for iPhone problems download, but to explain that the hardware issue will be solved with the free case, the company will distribute. Instead, Jobs spent most of his time at his press conference, explaining that the cell phone reception problems were a constant problem for the industry, as well as defend their testing methodology.

In response to a question about the health of Jobs, Steve explained that he felt better when he was on vacation last week in Hawaii.

Apple, which surprised consumers and investors by announcing iPhone press conference in April earlier this week, kept mum about the fact that it would announce before the event.

As reported yesterday, WSJ, Apple is not expected to recall phones. Instead, we will be looking for explanations for Apple on the issue, as well as its framework as a hardware or software issue. We are also looking for signs of action, such as the expansion proposal to return the phone for the current period of 30 days, possibly providing free cases bumper owners, or even new hardware or software fix.

Perhaps most importantly, if Steve Jobs shows we watch to see how he recognizes the problem, or whether he still should not exaggerate its importance.
