 If you thought you knew what Apple was planning for its first widescreen video iPod, you were sort of right, sort of wrong. Surprising the millions of people who expected the company to add a hard disk and remove the cell phone from its iPhone design, the new iPod touch does remove the cell phone, but continues to use flash memory -- now 8GB ($299) or 16GB ($399) of it. The good news is that both versions sport an 8mm thick enclosure that's even thinner than the iPhone, and continue to include the Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) functionality found in the iPhone, enabling you to -- for the first time ever -- browse the Internet from an iPod, as well as access Wi-Fi hotspots to download music directly to the iPod from the new iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store. In essence, iPod touch is a stripped-down iPhone that shares many of the same applications but adds only two major new features to the formula: video output to a TV, and the option of extra storage capacity. One color is available -- black -- and the headphone port has interestingly been moved to the device's bottom. We'll be updating this piece with additional details and photos shortly.

 The iPod classic is available in up to a 160GB, that's a heck of a lot of space for music and video, in fact its probably bigger than most laptop HDDs of current users.Just like the iPod nano, the iPod classic sports the new enhanced interface, which promises a whole new way to browse and view music and video. Its two column format allows you to scroll through your library on the left side while getting a preview on the right.
Cover Flow is now a standard among all iPods with screens. Use the Click Wheel to flip through album covers. Now you'll have to be more anal about makings sure all your music has album art and they all look nice and even. Trust me, I've been there, spending hours tweaking my album art so they look great on my iPhone.The 80GB which can store up to 20,000 songs, up to 25,000 photos, or up to 100 hours of video is priced at $249, while the humungous 160GB model is priced at $349 and can store a whopping 40,000 songs, 25,000 photos, or 200 hours of video. Now that's a whole lot in your pocket.Battery life is an amazing 40 hours of audio and 7 hours of video.The same 3 games, iQuiz, Klondike and Vortex now come free with the iPod classic as well. Think you've heard it all, hold you breath and skip to the story above. The best is yet to come.

The Apple iPod Nano sets new standards for gadget design and stretches the boundaries of technology. It's the world's first 4GB flash player, yet it's also one of the thinnest. Plus, it boasts a bright color screen that takes advantage of the bigger iPod's photo capabilities, though be aware that the Nano's screen scratches easily. Throw in some ancillary improvements, and you have not only the latest MP3 player phenom but a glance into the future. The flash-based Nano (the name is curiously similar to the Creative Zen Nano Plus's) comes in classic white or black and three capacities: 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB at $149, $199 and $249, respectively. It also replaces the current popular iPod Mini line. |
