New iPods Are Out
Apple released their new line of iPods yesterday. Pretty impressive and a bit of a delay since there last major release of iPods over a year ago (unless you want to count the iPhone).
The problem is, I want a new one now. I can remember when I purchased my 30GB iPod Video. It was sleek and black and they were close to CA$400. I bought a used one on eBay for CA$300 plus shipping and thought I had a real deal. Even polished the scratches out of the screen with Brasso and a cloth. I knew this day would come though. I do feel bad for the iPhone owners. The price on the iPhone was dropped by $200 and it only came out a couple months ago. I can see why, the iPod Touch does not have the phone features, but it can do everything else and more.
Here is the breakdown.
iPod Touch
This is the next level of iPod for sure. It features a screen like the iPhone. It is touch controlled and can play video in widescreen format. Now they have added wi-fi and the Apple Safari web browser is installed so you can browse the internet.
There are 8GB and 16GB versions that come with flash drives so low power consumption will be a plus.
Prices start at CA$329 for the 8GB and CA$449 for the 16GB version. Check out the iPod Touch.
iPod Classic
This is the remake of my video iPod. They come with 80GB and 160GB versions now. They are still using a hard drive, but with that kind of storage, who cares? Apparently the interface has been re-jigged a bit and you can even browse through albums by their cover.
It is of course a bit thinner too. Check out the iPod Classic. Prices start at CA$279 for the 80GB and $399 for the 160GB.
iPod Nano
I would be tempted to pick one of these now. They are more of a square shape and can play video. The screen has been given a much higher resolution and they are still ultra thin (less then 7mm thick).
Starting at CA$169 and you can get it in 4GB and for CA$219 you can get the 8GB version. Check out the iPod Nano.
