Apple Unveils New iPods...Uh, Sort of
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 08:00 AM
"AppleŽ today announced that the iPodŽ and iPod photo lines are merging, creating a single line of white iPods that all feature color displays with the ability to view album artwork, photos and play slideshows in stunning color. The simplified iPod lineup features a 20GB model, holding up to 5,000 songs priced at just $299 and a 60GB model, holding up to 15,000 songs priced at $399. Also starting today, iPods will offer an easy to use Podcast menu, including bookmarking within a Podcast and the ability to display Podcast artwork in color."
Ok, so basically this isn't a product announcement, more like a repositioning of the brand. iPod + iPod Photo = iPod Color. Color me underwhelmed. One nice aspect to this announcement is the previous iPod Photo can now be had for $299. I paid $333 (via Amazon) just a few weeks ago.
