New iPods

New iPods came out a few days ago.

New 20 gig U2 Special Edition iPod:


It's basically exactly the same as the current low-end 20 gig iPod. Only difference is of course the black face and red click wheel. It has the signitures of all the U2 members on the back and it costs $50 more than the standard iPod. That $50 premium is offset partly by giving the buyer a $50 discount on the complete U2 digital set. If you're a big U2 fan or just like the new look or both then you'll like the black/red iPod.

New 40 and 60 gig:



The new color iPods have a color screen, can sync your iPhoto collection (through iTunes), show album art when playing a song, and run a slideshow complete with music on either the color screen or a tv. It also has improved battery life (15 hours), but is slightly thicker and heavier than normal iPods. I'm not quite sure about that I think about the new color iPods. On the one hand they are nifty, who wouldn't want a color screen? On the other hand, how often do you really want to carry around every picture you own?
