Shortly after introducing the world’s thinnest notebook Apple is surprising us with another superlative, the world’s thinnest CD rack - the new iShelf touch. It’s ultra thin, and ultra unlike anything else.

Now you can really show off your CD collection, not just on your tiny iPod touch screen or your notebook, but mounted on the wall in your stylish living room.

The iShelf interface still superficially resembles iTunes Cover Flow, but now it comes with some great improvements. It can show 7 covers at a time instead of just one - this is one more than competitor BeoSound 9000 for example, and the lyrics of an entire album can be displayed on a single screen. A new batch of widgets is set to be released, including a ruler application and a 24h sand clock.

Built-in Ethernet, AirPort Extreme, and Bluetooth 2.0 come as standards. Additionally the iShelf supports a wealth of audio connections, with Mini-DVS port, DVS output using Mini-DVS to headphone adapter (sold separately), Mini-DVS to cinch audio adapter (sold separately), and Mini-DVS to optical (sold separately).
