New iPods Announced: Updated Classic, touch, and nano
New iPods predictably shuffled into Apple's media event today, including an updated classic and touch, and new nano. All are shipping from Apple now and should reach stores in the next several days. The classic got a storage bump to 120GB for $249, while the touch and nano improvements were bigger.
Both include the Genius automatic playlist feature found in iTunes 8, so you can let the iPod AI mix songs away from a Mac. It's like your iPod is always passing you mixtapes in class. iPod touch hardware improvements make it more similar to the iPhone, including a thinner shape and built-in speaker. Nike + is built into the touch, too, so you can connect to your Nike shoe pedometer without needing the iPod dock connector. (That connector will continue to work with all nanos.) The new touch comes in 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB sizes for $229, $299, or $399.
If the iPod classic is fat/phat, the new nano is tall. A curved, glass display wraps around the front of its oval shape. It also includes an accelerometer, so if you tilt the device horizontally, the lengthy display better matches wide video. And a quick shake shuffles songs.
Available in blue, purple, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, and silver, the nano comes in 8GB and 16GB sizes for $149 or $199. New earphones are bundled with the media player that include a button to control playback and a microphone to record voice notes. Apple will sell premium, in-ear headphones in October for $79.

I am dying to get an ipod now. I'm a guitar teacher and one of my students actually bought me a cd/ipod player for christmas! Problem is I don't have a ipod yet. That's how I found this blog, I was searching for info about ipods and I found this nice blog. I just recently started blogging and I have a site on what I do (my real job) which is about external hard drive data recovery so this blog is soooo cool for me. Excellent article.

I think that this is all an elaborate practical joke by Apple to get revenge for that Steve Jobs obituary. I can't wait to see the ebay traffic for 160 GB iPods.

Do you really NEED to have more that 120 GB of music in your pocket?

Okay - what is going on at Apple!? They made the iPod Classics ONE size only?? 120 GB?? What happened to the 160GB iPods? Wouldn't that be a better ONE SIZE FITS ALL? Since when to iPods get smaller......?
I was expecting the 160GB to get cheaper and them to announce a new 220GB or something for the higher $349.
one size fits all. go figure.

What? No camera on the new iPod Touch? Well, at least I won't be envious of others since I already just got mine. (Free!) A speaker would be nice *imagines playing More Cowbell and Tiny Violin* but I can live without it.
