Well on September 5th Apple announced their new line up of their iPods, even added a new version, the iPod Touch. By the name of it you can tell it most likely has a touch screen and it does. It is basically a iPhone without the phone feature, it has internet, contacts and what not and a 3.5" screen, great for movie, but costs $300 for the 8 gig version, and the $400 is only 16 gigs, so in my opinion this is pointless since they have also lowered the price of their iPhone by $200 so if your going to get the $400 iPod Touch why not just get the iPhone.
They also revamped the other iPods and still have the iPod classic, which was the iPod video but now way better. They also still have the Nano but now looks like a little fat nugget instead of something sleek which Apple is known for, but it now plays videos, they also still have the Shuffle, looks basically the same.
Overall I think the best of it all is the iPod classic because they really did a great job with it, except for no wide screen. They come in 80 GIGS! for $250 and 160 gigs for $350 and video playback of up to 5 hours and 20-40 hours audio playback making this one damn good iPod and too me the best buy if you are thinking about getting a new iPod. Plus with all that memory you could fit a lot of great movies on it in pretty good quality, but I would like to have seen a wide screen but oh well Apple can’t please everyone.
There is also rumors going around that Apple is might be releasing a Movie rental program in iTunes which would be really cool, even thought I might not use it too much since I have NetFlix, also Apple is trying to lower TV episodes to 99 cents and I just have to say good luck Apple on that one.
