September 10, 2009 · Filed Under News · Comment

Tech giant Apple made a series of announcements on Wednesday at the Yerba Buena Center of Arts, San Francisco, the most notable of which was the iPod Nano launched with a built-in video camera.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs himself rolled out the offerings in his first public appearance since the rejoined the company after a six-month medical leave. “I’m vertical” pronounced Jobs, thus putting to rest concerns about his health ever since news emerged last year that he was suffering from liver complications. In January this year Jobs went on a medical leave during which he underwent a liver transplant.

However the biggest news from Apple was the introduction of a newly-spruced up iPod Nano which now comes with a built-in video camera, a pedometer as well as an FM radio tuner. The newer versions of the tiny music player have been priced at $149 and $179.

Among other launches announced by Apple was a newer version of the iPhone which, with a 64 GB memory, will have twice as much storage capacity as its earlier models. Apple also improved iTunes music software by adding a new feature called Genius. This popular feature will enable users to search for music based on the songs they already have in their collection.
