Essentially, Apple’s event is where they are announcing have announced loads of new stuff.
So far, the list of new things includes:

- New iPod Nano - aluminium and coloured versions
- New iPod Shuffle - aluminium
- New iPod earphones
- iTunes Movie downloads (US only for now, international ‘by 2007′)
- Videos for iPod now support 640×480 and the iTunes store will deliver 640×480 video
- Stream iTunes Store content to your TV
- iTunes 7 software
- Apple TV set-top box - iTV (name not final). Half the size of a Mac mini with wireless and presumably streaming - apparently looks a bit like Front Row - access to trailers online via wireless & ethernet
- New Apple site is online and apparently the event is over
More news will appear as it becomes available.
