Hello, Apple…

By Thomas Henwood · June 28, 2005 ·

What is going on over at Apple? Without warning they appear to have got rid of the old B&W iPod in favour of a version of the iPod photo (whose name has also been scrapped), known as the iPod color just the iPod. Hard drives come in 20gb and 60gb, which is rather a large gap in sizes. Prices are £209/£299 which is the same as before. This makes the iPod even better value than before, which can only be a good thing. If you miss the B&W screen, don’t worry! The iPod mini still sports one; though for how much longer we will have to wait and see.

Update: In the past few hours since I posted this, a new version of iTunes has been released. It features podcast support among other things. This also requires a software update for your iPod, which clocks in at a fairly hefty (for a music player update) 50mb.

Update 2: 1GB iPod Shuffle has been reduced to £89/$129.
