  Man does it look sweet. And of course this now means that my model... the one I have had for about a month... has now been discontinued. blah... These new models are also 100 dollars cheaper than their respective counter parts!! Which is pretty unheard of in the computer industry.
It goes to show you how well sales are going for Apple. Supposedly they TRIPLED their annual profits this year solely due to the iPod. The last music carrying device to have such swooping effect was the Walkman released by Sony 25 years ago. The new model features Apple's "Click Wheel". It combines the Play/Pause and Menu buttons, and the touch scroll wheel into one convenient unit.
It was introduced with the iPod mini and was so well taken to that they decided to port it over to the regular iPod. It also features an upgraded OS which has the usual tweaks here and there. Hopefully Apple will release an update for my (3G model) iPod sometime in the future. Sigh.. my iPod may no longer be the latest and the greatest, but its still pretty cool. :-)
