Apple Releases 4th Gen iPod

As predicted, Apple announced the 4th generation iPod today.

Apple today introduced the new iPod, the fourth generation of the worlds number one portable digital music player, featuring Apples patent pending Click Wheel, which combines the smooth and continuous scrolling of a touch-sensitive wheel with five push buttons for superior one handed navigation. The new iPod also features up to 12 hours battery life and Shuffle Songs, a new command in the main menu which gives users instant access to one of the most exciting new ways to listen to their music library. All iPods work effortlessly with Apples iTunes, providing music fans with the best digital jukebox on either a Mac or Windows computer and access to the iTunes Music Store, the number one digital music service in the world. The new iPod is available immediately in a 20GB model for $299 and a 40GB model for $399.


Apple's online store has been updated to reflect the new product.

Looks very nice...

However, I will wait until the 60gb is announced (40gb isn't enough for me!), hopefully with AirTunes compatibility!

I ordered a 40 gig on the 15th and it wasn't supposed to ship until the 26th. But my order has now been changed to the newer 40 gig and will be shipping by the 21st! W00t! :)

Nothing special, but I do like the new look. I won't be getting one though, because I just ordered my mini the other day.

my 30 3g is still looking fine. i will wait for the 60 as well. the clickwheel and extra 30 gigs is what i want and right now the clickwheel is all i get! The battery life is nice too, but nonetheless, i'll wait a bit.

These look pretty sweet. I really would have preferred some AirTunes compatibility, though.

The 20GB has no dock and the iPod no longer has a remote control :rolleyes: is that correct?

Apparently the software update is 4G only. Sniffle...no new features for my 30 GB 3G...
