Apple unveils iPod with music, photos and video features

Apple introduced the new iPod, featuring a gorgeous 2.5-inch color screen
which can display album artwork and photos and play video including music
videos, video Podcasts, home movies and television shows. The new iPod holds up
to 15,000 songs, 25,000 photos or over 150 hours of video and is available in a
30GB model for $299 and a 60GB model for $399, with both models available in
stunning white or black designs.

"The new iPod is the best music player ever - it's 30% thinner and has
50% more storage than its predecessor, yet it sells for the same price and plays
stunning video on its 2.5-inch color screen," said Steve Jobs, Apple's
CEO. "Because millions of people around the world will buy this new iPod to
play music, it will quickly become the most popular portable video player in
history."

The
new iPod plays music, audiobooks, audio Podcasts, video Podcasts, home movies,
music videos and popular television shows like 'Lost' and 'Desperate
Housewives'. The unrivaled combination of iPod and iTunes 6 now provides
customers with a seamless experience for buying, managing and playing video as
well as audio content, including over 2,000 music videos, six short films from
the Academy-Award winning Pixar Animation Studios, and five television shows
from ABC and Disney Channel.

The new iPod features the ability to view video content on a larger color
display. Its Click Wheel allows for one-handed navigation and the portable
design is ideal for putting music, Podcasts, photos, audiobooks, home movies,
music videos

and television shows in a pocket. iPod users can also watch their video content
and slideshows of their photos on a television via optional Apple accessories.

Featuring seamless integration with the iTunes Music Store and the iTunes
digital music jukebox, iPod features Apple's patent pending Auto-Sync
technology that automatically downloads digital music, Podcasts, photos,
audiobooks, home movies, music videos and popular television shows onto the iPod
and keeps them up-to-date whenever the iPod is plugged into a Mac or Windows
computer using USB 2.0.

The 30GB model features up to 14 hours of battery life for music playback and
the 60GB model features up to 20 hours of battery life for music playback.
