Steve fit a lot of updates into today’s Let’s Rock event, but here’s a quick breakdown.

• iTunes 8.0 brought everything we expected. Some slight UI changes and a new Genius feature that recommends songs based off of what you listen to most. It will also make custom playlists for you besides song recommendations.
• iPod nano: Exactly as we expected. It looks like that orange iPod nano we saw in the leaks was in fact the new nano. Rocking a new, better looking UI, the new nano also rocks a rainbow of colors. Available in 9 colors include a PRODUCT (RED) version, the nano is $149 for 8GB and $199 for 16GB.
• iPod touch: The new touch rocks a similar curved form factor as the iPhone 3G, but sticks with its metal back. New features include a built-in Nike+ chip for use with the Nike+iPod product (also announced today to work with the touch), a built-in speaker with physical volume controls, and on-the-go Genius playlist creation. 8GB, 16GB, 32GB models available for $229, $299, and $399 respectively.
• iPod classic: Nothing spectacular for the classic today, Steve did kill of the 160GB and 80GB versions and replaced them both with a thin 120GB model. It rocks a $249 price tag.
• iPhone firmware 2.1: The new firmware for iPhone should include tons of bug fixes, improve battery life, signal, and app crashing. Available Friday for all iPhone users.
