All new iPods
Yes, that means: new iPod, new iPod nano and new iPod shuffle. The star is of course the new iPod nano: new aluminum body, comes in either green, silver, black, blue or pink, 24 hour batter life, and… get this: it is thinner than the current nano! Man, now that’s one mean feat of engineering. Actually, that worries me - will it snap?
The new iPod shuffle is rather cute being much smaller. But it now requires the USB cable if you wish to connect it to the computer (as opposed to the built-in USB connector on the old models). The new iPod shuffle is also clad in aluminum like the new iPod nanos. I wonder when the big iPods will also get this aluminum treatment. I mean, with the current iPod material, the front coating scratches easily and so does the shiny chrome back. It would definitely benefit from aluminum and it would also make the whole iPod line consistent. No?
Well, besides iPods, the much rumoured iTunes video store was also announced but only Disney are onboard right now. Best of all, it’s only available in the US right now. Pffffffffff… that means, it’ll be summer 2008 for Japan (if the Japanese iTunes music store is any indication). Oh well… checkout all the announced and mentioned about stuff at the Apple website.
I’m gonna get a 8GB black one!
Shouldn’t you be in bed at this time? Off work “again” tomorrow?
Welcome to the world of iPods! Can’t believe u never had one all this time!
Took the day off tomorrow (today) to show some out of town visitors around Tokyo. Maybe I will go by the Apple store?
By the way, I like the new iTunes! Browsing by album covers is awesome!
I wonder if the touch pad is actually illiuminated? And if so, does the black light up too?
The click wheel illuminates? Doesn’t say so on the website…
I’m in the Apple Store right now and they have all the new ipod nanos in stock!!!! OMG, I’m soo tempted to get one. Eddie stop me!!
I just assumed by looking at that picture of the ad on your blog. Of course I can’t view that ad on my PC at school. Doh!
Im glad they didnt bring out any super beefed up ipod video players as I already got two 60GB ipods
