While not too terribly related to the iPhone I thought I should write a little article about the new iPods. Even the New York Timesdid an article about new iPods. The next generation of iPods were introduced Tuesday, but were a bit upstaged by the insane iPhone price drop. All of Apple’s iPods got at least a little makeover with the iPod Nano being totally re-designed and a brand-spanking new iPod category was introduced.
Behold, the iPod Touch. It’s like an iPhone, but without the phone part! That’s right, it looks exactly like the iPhone and has iPhone’s neat-o touch interface; it even has Wi-Fi access and a Safari browser. iPod Touch comes in two sizes, 8GB ($299) and 16GB ($399) and features a Wi-Fi iTunes music store. Awesome.
For hard-core music hoarders the “iPod Classic” is now available in a thinner, all-metal design that holds up to…wait for it…160GB of data. I wish Wordpress had one of those little “O face” emotes, because that would have been a perfect place for one. 
Anyway, the 80GB model goes for $249 with the 160GB model selling for $349.
Next up, the brand new iPod Nano! Now the new iPod Nano’s design has been pretty heavily criticized. It’s been called everything from “stubby” to “fat” to “fugly” to “Hobbit-like,” but y’know what? I think they’re adorable. And now they come with video, so there! The 4GB model is $149 and the 8GB (which comes in new, slightly questionable colors) is $199.
Last, but not least (although it is the smallest and the cheapest), the iPod Shuffle has a new palette of, slightly muted, colors. Still just 1GB for $79, the iPod Shuffle is the iPod for bargain seekers with 240 songs.
