$99 Apple TV, New iPod... and Coldplay
Tons of news from Apple's live-streaming press conference today--New iPod Shuffle and iPod Touch; iTunes 10 with social media sharing service Ping; new streaming-only, $99 Apple TV with Netflix and $0.99 episode rentals (via The Unofficial Apple Weblog, CrunchGear, and Gizmodo). "Jobs called the Netflix interface on Apple TV 'the best implementation of Netflix yet,' though he was probably saying that because the interface is a direct ripoff of Apple's Front Row interface," comments NewTeeVee. "I should point out that there's already a well-developed product on the market that not only competes directly with the new Apple TV, but in many ways, is vastly superior: The Roku," says TechCrunch. gdgt takes note of the Coldplay performance at the end of the press conference: "I'm just glad Chris Martin's here to capture our sadness over the continuing lack of apps on the Apple TV." Engadget gets their hands on a new iPod Touch and says "it makes the iPhone 4 look... fat."

TV Squad rounds up the most memorable good and bad moments...
