Introducing…the (new) iPods!

Today, September 5, 2007, Steve Jobs revealed his new line of iPods. I must say, the iPod Classic and Shuffle haven’t changed much alright. Alas, I can’t say the same for the iPod Nano – and the new iPod Touch though.

Well, let’s start off with the Nano. It’s gotten stretched vertically – way stretched, actually. I can imagine it would be to accommodate the new video capabilities that it has been outfitted with. However, though it has been struck a bit in the looks department (in my opinion – not too bad, but I always thought of the Nano as slim), I do think the technical specifications are much more impressive than its predecessors. At an announced battery life of five hours (when watching videos, mind you), it outranks even my iPod 5.5g! Now that’s strong.

The iPod Touch is basically an iPhone – lacking a few features, but boasting an eight or sixteen-gigabyte hard drive (depending on which you purchase). Prices start at $299 USD, which is quite reasonable – for a new, hot product.

Even with all these iPods emerging left and right, I think I’ll stick with my iPod “Classic”. It’s been reliable throughout the years – and I just don’t dig the looks of these new iPods enough. Maybe next time.

Oh, yeah, and Apple lowered their iPhone’s price to $399 for the now-dominating eight-gigabyte version. Just a piece of news – and to gloat about where you read about it first!
