Apple chief executive Steve Jobs last night unveiled new iPod models and iTunes stores upgrades.

He also addressed concerns about iPhone 3G performance problems by saying a free iPhone 2.1 update will be released on Friday to fix the troubles.

'It's a big update,' Jobs said of the iPhone software release at a press conference in San Francisco. 'It fixes a lot of bugs.'

New products announced by Jobs include high-definition television shows available on Apple's online iTunes store and a slim new Nano model that upgrades the technology while returning the gum stick shape people preferred.

Jobs also showed off an upgraded iPod Touch model made slimmer than the original version and with a built-in speaker.
