Say Hello to the New iPods

As expected, Apple unveiled the new iPod models, and even decided to further develop the "family":
- the iPod Shuffles were not massively modified as other models. The storage capacity remain unchanged, only colors change, and a RED model is added. The price remains (too high) unchanged 79€.

- IPod nano enclosure was strongly modified, becoming smaller, but also wider to accommodate a larger display (2"). Capacity did not change, but one can play video on the iPod nano (needs good eyes). The 4GB model is only available in Silver (159€), while color models are all featuring 8GB storage space for 209€.

- The iPods are on diet, and become thinner, with doubled storage space (80GB or 160GB), increased battery lifetime (30-40hours audio, 6-7hours videos). Prices: 80GB model for 259€ and 160GB for 359€.

- And the new family member, the iPod Touch. In other word, an iPhone without the phone, but with a WiFi function around which Apple has built some important new features: web browser, virtual keyboard to search on the web, integrated access to YouTube, and of course the new partnership with Starbucks (see the dedicated news for additional comments on this topic). Featuring 8GB (309€) or 16GB(409€) storage space, the iPod Touch will have a battery lifetime of 22hours for audio and 5hours for videos.
