Cover Flow - lets you navigate through album art to mimic flipping through a CD collection. details

Free Album Art - automatically fetching of album art for CDs you import (with iTunes account).

iPod Games - $4.99 in the iTunes store. details

iPod Summary - at-a-glance information, including storage allocation. details

TV Show Resolution - TV shows will now be sold at 640x480 px h264. While the updated 5G iPods announced today will be able to play the new format, there has not been any indication from Apple of yet that the new shows will be playable on older 5G iPods. Apple's official knowledge-base article still states that h264-encoded movies must be 320 x 240 at 30 fps.
