What I think about the New iPods

iPod Shuffles- The Colors! The colors they are not as bright or as noticeable as the new colors. The new colors are dull.

iPod Nanos- The new nanos are very interesting by the means of their look. They offer a screen .5 inches smaller than the iPod video and classic, but you get a nice product for your moneys worth. The new interface works very well with the screen on the iPod nano. I have the same opinions on the colors for the nanos.

iPod Classic- This is a huge improvement in terms of memory for the iPod (You can now buy 160GB for your iPod, 40,000 songs.) The new interface is very well layed out. And the rounded corners and new faceplate make scratches less noticeable.

iPod Touch- The almost iPhone like iPod brings a whole new way to buy music. You can now use Safari and buy iTunes content if you are at a Wi-Fi hot spot. The pricing is a little bit high.

Other news headlines:

4GB iPhones are no longer available and the 8GB model is one hundred dollars cheaper than the old 4GB model. Apple should be making an update soon so that you can buy iTunes content on your iPhone, like the iPod Touch.

College students will not get the free* iPod nano on the new iPods but old models will be available and discounted at Apple stores until they run out of stock.
