Apple's iPod/iPhone announcements from yesterday: new video Nano, 160GB iPod "Classic," new iPod Touch that's like an iPhone without the phone—with with wi-fi and a web browser, wi-fi iTunes store for iPod Touch and iPhone, plans for a cute Starbucks feature, and the ability to make iPhone ringtones out of some—but not all—iTunes music store purchases.

And a $200 price cut on the 8GB iPhone. $399.

If you bought an 8GB iPhone within the last 2 weeks, you are eligible for a refund down to the new price as part of Apple's "price protection" feature. If you bought it from Apple, call Apple Sales at 1-800-676-2775, or take a receipt into an Apple Store. If you bought it at an AT&T store, you might want to wait a day or so. As of this writing, stores are still awaiting instructions on how to handle price-protected refunds.

They've discontinued the 4GB model, which is now selling for $299 while supplies last (and they may be all gone by the time this entry gets posted).

Art on the Nike+iPod web site has been updated with the new Nano. I didn't expect them to obsolete the Sport Kit, but it's nice to have confirmation that it works.
