The other makeover from Apple's showtime presentation

Steve Jobs fashion make over

Apple launched a series of new iPods (my new Nano has crashed already) and film download service. They also announced a PC to TV interface due early next year.

Much has been written about those developments, the thing that intrigued me however was the move of Steve Jobs to wearing a more formal shirt. From such an image conscious leader, what did it mean and more importantly what has happened with all the Apple Kremlin watchers not making such a big deal about it?

Has Apple descended to a more earth bound appreciation since the iPod has diluted the fervor of the High Church of the Macintosh? Has Apple's relationship with consumers altered becoming less of a phenomena and more of a bog-standard commercial enterprise?

If you have to reset your iPod here is a link to everything that you need to know.
