Apple releases new iPhone 5, iPod Touch and Ipod Nano

Bigger screens for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPod Nano seems to be the theme of this Apple event.
The iPhone 5 also gets skinnier, a new 4" screen and a new A6 processor that is 22% smaller than the A5 while having 2X graphics capabilities and being 2X faster, n word on how many cores this thing packs. Apple also previewed a revamped iTunes as well as some new headphones called EarPods. It also looks like Siri got an update as well as being available on the Ipod Touch for the first time. I`m really liking the update for the iPod Touch, it gets an A5 processor, same form factor as the new iPhone 5, better camera (backlit) very thin (6.1mm) and it now comes in a variety of colours. The new Nano returns to its old long and thin form factor but gets a big screen, multi touch and bluetooth. One nice feature: you can pause live radio, acts like a DVR, very nice!

Here are some specs to keep you happy for a while:
