Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the wraps off a revamped line of iPods on Tuesday and trumpeted a truce with NBC Universal that means the TV network will begin selling programs again on iTunes.
The iPod announcements were largely expected, and investors were less than energized, sending Apple's shares down US$6.13, 3.9%, to $151.79 in afternoon trading.
The iPod upgrades Jobs revealed Tuesday in a theater in San Francisco include two slick new nano models, oval-shaped devices that Jobs said are the thinnest iPods Apple has ever made. They are less than a quarter-inch thick.
A $149 version comes with 8 gigabytes of memory - enough for 2,000 songs; a 16-gigabyte version, which holds 4,000 songs, is $199.
