Apple launches new iPods

Apple on Wednesday unveiled a slick touch-screen iPod and also cut the price of its 8GB iPhone to $399 (Rs.16,200 approx). The new touchscreen iPod – dubbed IPod Touch – features the Safari Web browser and a built in wireless antenna, meaning users can connect directly to the Internet through Wi-Fi, just like they might with a laptop. It also includes Google and Yahoo search functions into the iPod touch, along with YouTube video viewing and iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store compatibility.
IPod touch will be available in an 8GB model priced at $299 (Rs.12,200 approx) and a 16GB model priced $399 (Rs.16,200 approx). The devices are essentially iPhones without the mobile phone capabilities.
“We think it’s one of the seven wonders of the world,” Apple’s chief executive Steve Jobs quipped.
Apple’s overhaul includes match booked-sized iPod Shuffles in new colours, and iPod Nanos built with video and games capabilities. A 4GB Nano is priced at $149 (Rs.6,000 approx), while the 8GB model will cost $199 (Rs.8,000 approx).
Jobs also officially christened the original iPod model the “Classic”, and said it would be available in 80GB and 160GB models.
