Christmas has for many centuries been a time for the giving and exchanging of gifts, particularly between friends and family members. A number of figures of both Christian and mythical origin have been associated with Christmas and the seasonal giving of gifts. Among these are Father Christmas, also known as Santa Claus, Père Noël, and the Weihnachtsmann; Saint Nicholas or Sinterklaas; the Christkind; Kris Kringle; Joulupukki; Babbo Natale; Saint Basil; Father Frost; and, more recently, Steve Jobs.

Apple announces new iPods, iTunes 10 (with Ping),  tv, and iOS 4.1 (and 4.2).

Merry Christmas!

This post was deleted for the following reason: If there's a apple announcement post worth making, someone really needs to just make that post. Dressing it up like this is just kind of weirdly stuntish. -- cortex

Except instead of being nice all year, all you need to get gifts from Steve Jobs is to pay him.

In essence, nothing has changed.

Quick, someone start a Metatalk thread about this thread so we can discuss the new products there instead.

Or perhaps a cleverly disguised AskMe thread instead. Something like "I'm curious about the new Apple products announced a few hours ago..."

Holy fuck, not just Yet Another Product Post but ALSO a stunt post.

Flagged so hard.

iTunes 10 has a new logo that drops the CD in the image.
