Apple unveils Leather iPod Pouches, Intel Mac Mini, iPod Hi-Fi Home Stereo

Steve Jobs lifted the curtains on Apple "fun new products".No Widescreen iBook or iTunes Video store yet, Apple's focus is your Living Room digital entertainment.

The new Apple devices were shown to the media in a variety of staged rooms, including a dorm room, kitchen and den.

First, Jobs announced new Mac Mini with Intel processors.

The look of the Mac Mini hasn't changed, but now there's an Intel chip inside. The new Mac Mini remains Apple's no-frills budget computer that lacks a keyboard, a mouse or a monitor.


The Front Row media software (plus IR remote control) is included for controlling music, movies, and photos from the couch.

Jobs demonstrated a new feature of Front Row that allows users to stream music that's stored on a nearby computer using Apple's Bonjour technology for automatically discovering resources on a network.

Apple then introduced the iPod Hi-Fi, a home-stereo quality speaker set for the iPod. On the top of it, there's a universal iPod dock connector, as well as an auxiliary port to connect an iPod Shuffle or other device.



Priced at $349, Jobs said the iPod Hi-fi produces better sound than some third-party systems like Bose's $299 SoundDock speaker system for the iPod.

Jobs also introduced Apple-branded leather cases for the video iPod and iPod Nano.

There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall.
