View Full Version : News: Apple Unveils New Line of iPods

Apple on Wednesday revamped its entire iPod lineup – an upgrade chief executive Steve Jobs called the "biggest change in the iPod lineup ever."

Most notably, Apple added a front-facing camera and FaceTime to the iPod touch. It also added a rear-facing camera with HD video recording, the retina display currently available on the iPhone 4, the Apple A4 chip, and 3-axis gyro for better gaming.

The iPod touch also includes iOS 4.1 with Game Center, and 40 hours of music playback. Gaming has become a major draw for the iPod touch, Jobs said, making the device "the most popular portable game player in the world."

The new iPod touch will be available in three models: an 8GB version for $229; a 32GB version for $299; and a 64GB version for $399.

Apple added multi-touch to the new iPod nano, which Jobs said is 46 percent smaller and 42 percent lighter. It now includes a clip for easy portability, a hard volume button, voice over, FM radio, and support for 29 languages.

The new iPod nano will have 24-hour battery life. The touch-based device includes home-screen buttons like those found on the iPhone and iPod touch. It also includes a feature that will let you pinch and rotate the screen, and includes support for photos.

The new iPod nano comes in six colors, including a Product (RED) version. An 8GB version will sell for $148 and a 16GB version will retail for $179.

Jobs also introduced a $49 2GB iPod shuffle that includes buttons, voice over, playlists, and genius mixes. It will hold up to 15 hours of music.

All of the new iPods will be available next week, and are available for pre-order today, Jobs said.

Am I the only person perfectly happy with an ipod classic?

I have a black classic that I got in 2009 and I love it. It is 120 GB, really durable and does everything required of a music player, I find the touches a tad excessive, but if you have the money why not I guess.
I loved my older ipod even more but it got stolen :(

That isn't really a formula for success. No electronic device will ever be perfected and finished. I mean, they could even just make a small feature update - if the iPod nano has an FM radio then surely the iPod could have one too.

I got my 120GB classic for less money than an 8BG touch and I would much rather have the memory than a bigger screen and other such stuff.

Those who already have an Apple TV don't need to upgrade because essentially the only difference is software enabling TV rentals. That will likely be pushed to existing ATV users.

Could not care less about just about everything else (though, I have to say, I thought the OLD iTunes logo was really nothing special, so all the logo change was was a lateral motion), but I've been waiting to hear about the exact changes to the Touch for about two months, and now I know that I will (finally) join the Apple conglomerate when the new one comes out.
