Touch screen iPod? Not quite. ★
We haven’t got the iPod we’ve been waiting for. We didn’t see any big changes in the iPod. What we got was pretty much what we expected. The iTunes Music Store has now become the iTunes Store. This means you finally get to see full feature films that you can purchase from iTS.
Well we did see that the 5.5G iPod(60 GB and 80 GB) that they released yesterday has search capabilities, so that you may listen to the track you want not only by browsing the whole library but by simple text-searching. This is of course the only new feature the iPod or any other mp4/mp3 player has never had before.
Update: This feature is seen even with the 5G iPods with a firmware update.
The not-so-interesting iPod shuffle has had a very-interesting cosmetic change. Not only has it become smaller, it has also become cheaper. Seeing Apple’s web cast I noticed that it is indeed the smallest mp3 player in the world and also a gadget that could get lost so very easily.

iTV is the new media streaming device to be launched next year. It looks like a smaller mac mini and can really lighten up our living rooms, because it’s made by…Apple! I cant explain it better than engadget can. So, click here.
The new ipods are indeed cool. Wish I could buy one of the new nanos…….
If you were in the US, then you would’ve got one free with your MacBook Pro.
You know, iTunes Music Store sounded better. And I dont like the idea of apple deviating from their music -> video iPod. They could have release two different devices with two different purposes.
And with those new iPods, it didn’t at all look like Apple’s been spending too much time with iPods.
Dunno about that. It is something that Apple had to do. iTMS had to become iTS.
The iPods are a set of gadget already very popular. Apple added video to the iPod so that it get’s even more recognition. Most people these days want an all-in-one device that can do everything.
