Apple unveils iPod Photo

Apple introduced the iPod Photo, that has a capacity to hold up to 25,000 digital photos, along with a music library and displays a high-resolution color screen. The user can scan through the photo library almost instantly using the iPod's patent pending Click Wheel. 

It comes in storage capacities of 40GB or 60GB, which holds up to 10,000 or 15,000 songs and has a battery life of 15 hours of music playback or up to five hours of slideshows. It features the Auto-Sync technology, making it easy to automatically download the user's digital music and digital photo library onto the iPod and keeping it up-to-date whenever it is plugged into a Mac or Windows computer, using FireWire or
USB. 

Windows users can auto sync their iPod with their photo collection in Adobe Photoshop Elements, Photoshop Album or their My Pictures folder. The iPod works with iTunes 4.7, providing users access to the iTunes Music Store and digital jukebox. The Click Wheel combines the smooth and continuous scrolling of a touch-sensitive wheel with five push buttons for one-handed navigation to find, view and share photographs. 

The 40GB iPod is available for Rs 34,100, while the 60GB iPod is priced at 41,700.
