It finally happened. The Video iPod is now a reality. I was watching the live blogging they were doing at the press event via engadget and they tell the specs.
"New iPod announced! The new iPod, as speculated, features video capabilities and the wider display, but it’s still a
music-first device.
The device will feature a 2.5-inch display, QVGA resolution (320 x 240), and will MPEG-4 h.264 (natch), and
presumably Quicktime.
The new iPod will be 30% thinner than the current 20GB iPod (making it 0.44-inches thick—say wha?), and will feature
a 60GB version (which should be thinner than the current 0.63-inch thick 20GB iPod), and editions of both in black.
The 20GB should go for $299, and the 60GB for $399. They’ll be shipping next week."
That is like 20 minutes after it happened. so I will let you know more as I find out. Woohoo. But now I have to figure out how to get one.
**Update**
More details from Engadget
"Stevie has iTunes 6.0 up there—only about a month after introducing iTunes 5.0.
iTunes 6.0 will feature video downloads (big surprise, right?)—at launch over 2,000 music videos will be made
available at a cost of $1.99 apiece."
**Update 2**
"Oh, and one more thing…
It’s not only music videos you can buy. No, Apple’s set up to allow you to purchase TV shows for $1.99 apiece. Get
Desperate Housewives or four other ABC shows premiering on iTunes at two bucks an ep."
