Last Wednesday the tech community was pleasantly surprised, so much that they gave a nearly minute long standing ovation, to see the trusted leader in the revolution of portable music, Steve Jobs, who recently recovered from a liver transplant, deliver the not so surprising news that yet another generation of iPods will be hitting the market. The latest version of the gems that will help justify your need to replace the one you just bought and sell your outdated version on eBay now comes in a few forms.
First up, the new Nano will come in 9 colors, will have a larger screen, an FM tuner with live pause, a camera that can take video and a built in pedometer!
Speed and price are what’s going to make you finally want a Touch, with 50% faster processor on the 32GB and new 64GB versions, and a price cut to $299 and $399. Steve made it known that size does matter by bumping up the iPod Classic capacity from 120GB to 160GB (that’s over 40,000 songs) and shrinking the price size down to $249.
Lastly, Shuffle fans will now have the choice of 5 different colors, and the ability to use a variety of different headphones, instead of being limited to Apple’s version.
As for software updates, iTunes lovers can expect to see an improved iTunes store – now boasting the world’s largest online music, movies, games, podcasts and application collection. This new iTunes version will be Facebook friendly so you can let your friends know what you’re into, listening to and purchasing and will have a much cleaner layout that’s easier to navigate. Cool new features include the ability to download “LP” type information such as artist and group pics, song lyrics and liner notes, special new video features, and comes with increased home sharing capabilities. So look out Zune, although you have HD playback, this new line up should really give you a run for your money!
