Crikey!
Considering rumours were flying about new iPods, Apple have really surprised this time by almost totally revamping the iPod line (with the exception of the Shuffle which only gets new colours).
The new line-up is as follows:
- iPod Shuffle (1GB)
- iPod Nano (4GB or 8GB)
- iPod Classic (80GB or 160GB)
- iPod Touch (8GB or 16GB)
- iPhone
The interesting bit in all of this is the iPod Touch which is basically an iPhone without the phone or camera! It’s the cheap peoples iPhone! And we get it here in Austerailia before Xmas. It’s also a “revolutionary internet communications device”, with built-in 802.11B-G WiFi and the mobile Safari browser. So our iPhone apps should also work on iPod touch (although a bit more limited by the wireless coverage).
