Apple’s 2007 iPod Line Up- iPod Nano, Classic, and Touch
The most noticeable difference is the “matured” look of the iPods. Gone are the vibrant, young colours of the shuffles: now replaced by more subdued pastels.
The star of the line up is, of course, the iPod Touch. It’s the iPod that’s designed almost exactly like the iPhone. It has a 3.5 inch widescreen display, the “slide to unlock” feature, the ability to “flick” through your photos, WiFi, 22 hours of battery life with audio, and 5 hours when playing video. The iPod Touch is available in 8GB or 16GB, and it will cost you $299 or $399 respectively.
The next updated iPod is the iPod Classic: an update to the iPod video. It has a new interface with Cover Flow, and comes in 80GB or 160GB! Whoa… that’s a lot of music. The battery life is 30 hours for audio playback/6 hours of video playback for the 80GB version, and 40 hours of audio playback/7 hours of video playback for the mammoth 160GB player. The 80GB version will run you $249, while the 160GB one will cost you $349.
The iPod Nano (nicknamed the iPod “fatty” for its wider stature) is the third generation of iPod Nanos. The new iPod Nanos have a 2 inch QVGA screens that are 65% brighter than previous models, a new UI, and a Cover Flow feature. The Nanos also come with three games, and have improved battery life (24 hours for audio playback, 5 hours for video). The 4 GB model is only available in silver for $149, while the 8 GB model is available in a rainbow of colours for $199. If you’re looking into buying the Nano, think about buying the ProductRED nano, which gives a portion of the sale back to the Project Red Charity.
The iPod shuffle are the same adorable fellows as always, but now available in new colours! If screen-less mp3 players are your thing, then you can’t go wrong with the iPod Shuffle. Only $80 for 1 GB.
New iPod Shuffles are on the Top Row

Chubby iPod Nano Rumours
The above is an artistic rendering of the upcoming iPod Nano that Gizmodo created to avoid legal suits. Basically, Apple just confirmed the legitimacy of the above photo. And I’m sure that you can still find some of the “spy shots” online… (check here). I, along with others, am not a fan of the new look. But, perhaps, it grows on you. According to analysts, the price point will be competitively below $300, and the fatty Nano should be released in September.
Bowers & Wilkins Proud of Zeppelin iPod Speakers
Bowers & Wilkins are normally known for their high-end home speakers, but now they’ve created something completely different- the Zeppelin. Around a behemoth 2 feet in size, the Zeppelin has 5 drivers, a 5 inch woofer, glass-fiber cones, and fancy tube tweeters. The Zeppelin also boasts an impressive 100w and has connectivity to send pictures or video to a TV. The gigantic Zeppelin will cost you $599 whenever it is released. Personally, I think it looks ridiculous, but to each his own.
