Apple launches in built iTunes service 'Ping'
San Francisco: In a move to enter the social networking business, Apple has introduced Ping, a service built into iTunes that aims to help users discover new music and, presumably, buy more songs from Apple. Apple CEO Steve Jobs has showcased Ping at Apple's annual music event along with a string of other new products including updates to iPod line of music players and new software that allows wireless printing from iPads and iPhones. With Ping, users will be able to follow friends and see what music they have bought or enjoyed, what concerts they plan to attend and what music they have reviewed. They will also be able to follow bands and get updates on their new releases, concert tours and other events. Three new iPods were announced, an iPod Shuffle that ditches the previous no-button style in returning to a more classic look, a smaller iPod Nano that now has a touch screen but can no longer play video, and a thinner iPod Touch that has most of the features first introduced on the iPhone 4. The new iPods will be available next week.
