After rumors have been swirling the last few weeks about Apple releasing an iPod that can do video, it’s official now. They have a 30GB and 60GB iPod with a slightly larger screen that is capable of doing video (realtime decoding of MPEG4 and H.264 with 260,000 colors). Pricing doesn’t change ($299 and $399). It’s also 31% thinner than the previous model it’s replacing.
It also comes in black like the Nano. I’m tempted to throw away my existing 60GB iPod Photo and get one of the black 60GB Video iPods…
Shawn – where did you find this out? I was trying to follow the story ‘live’, and your blog was the first place I saw that had confirmation.
macrumors? I just noticed it.
Let me make a forecast. In two-three years time Apple will have a DVR a wireless IPOD and a type of iTunes on demand. Apple hasn’t been innovating any brand new technlogies, but they seem to be the only ones who can implement.
Apple, you’ve earned the 2005 Gold Star!
