Apple Inc. and Steve Jobs unveiled today new versions of the iPod Nano and iPod Touch.  The Nanos have an oval shape and are apparently the thinnest iPods that Apple has ever sold, at a quarter of an inch thick.  According to Jobs, customers have purchased 160 million iPods since 2001.  With such popularity, iPods should be of interest to those engaged in marketing for law firms and internet marketing for lawyers.  More and more professional conferences are providing iPods or other MP3 players to attendees as a premium and/or content delivery mechanism; law firms could consider doing the same thing.  Since clients and the general public are using iPods at record levels, it pays for lawyers and law firms to be in iTunes through legal-related podcasts.  Apple's iPod and iTunes empire has profound implications for those engaged in marketing for lawyers.
