125,000 movies sold in iTunes Store first week !!! (exclamations points mine)
And hopefully that means more movies! Good news for me (bad news for my wallet, and the CFO.)

Steady, consistent improvement and expansion, one step at a time — and now it’s a juggernaut. The iPod and iTunes show just how beneficial it can be to be first to market. Apple has had the benefit getting to this point slowly but surely; anyone who wants to compete with them now is forced to try to catch up all at once or settle for just one piece of the pie.

It’s a great read in true John Gruber fashion.

Here’s a quick rundown of what’s in and what’s out with the iPods:
shuffle
512MB shuffle is now discontinued
1GB shuffle is $79, down from $99 but now comes in a “clip form” anodized aluminum design
nano
1GB nano is now discontinued
2GB nano is $149, down from $199 but now comes in grey anodized aluminum
4GB nano is $199, down from $249 but now comes in five colors, anodized aluminum
8GB nano is $249, comes in black anodized aluminum
iPod
30GB iPod is $249, down from $299
30GB U2 iPod is now discontinued

Now that you can buy movies from the iTunes Store and sync them to youriPod, the whole world is your theater. With a 30GB or 80GB iPod inhand, those movies fit comfortably next to TV shows, new iPod games,podcasts, audiobooks, photo albums, and, of course, an entire library of music — up to 20,000 songs, in fact. Now starting at $249, iPod is apocket-size prodigy.
It’s now thinner, cheaper, and larger (with 80GB!).

I had to buy Zuma since it helped me kill so much time my sophomore year of college.
It looks like iPod games are just packaged flash games… I’m hoping we can hack it apart and start making our own games, or even turn the iPod into a Flash player.
The world’s smallest digital music player and just $79, the 1GB iPod shuffle lets you wear up to 240 songs on your sleeve. Or your lapel. Or your belt. Clip on iPod shuffle and wear it as a badge of musical devotion.
I never thought it could go this small!

I still would prefer larger quality videos but hey, free is free.
Now a lot of users are (understandably) frustrated with Apple and Nike for designing the kit to only work with the iPod nano. Unfortunately, this is a situation to actually thank these companies for, as hard drive-based iPods aren’t designed to take the kind of impact that running delivers; their drives would ultimately end up failing sooner (as opposed to later), and there would be a lot of unhappy, iPod-less runners out there. Believe it or not, Apple (for once) actually saved a lot of people a couple hundred dollars with this move. TUAW
A week later with this device and it turned out “nice. Very nice.”

Yeah, they really were slow getting here though. How many YEARS did it take to add something as fundamental to listening to music as gapless?
