iPod Generation 4 Released
I_am_Rambi writes "According to MSNBC "The considerably tweaked fourth-generation iPod will roll out this week, and Newsweek got an advance peek. It looks a bit different, operates more efficiently, has a few more features and costs less. Here are the highlights...." Improved battery life, upto 12 hours, a click wheel, more efficient menus, multiple on the go play list, and probably one of the best changes is a lower price. $399 (down from $499) for a 40 gig, $299 (down from $399) for a 20 gig, and there are no 15 gig versions." And you can read Apple's iPod site for the full details.
Does it play ogg?
as if there was any other feature that really mattered...
Is the ipod battery user-replaceable? Or does it have one of those 'no user serviceable parts inside' warnings.
Why do they refuse to offer an iPod for $200? They'd sell like hotcakes. Not everyone needs 40 freakin' gigs.
Look at it from apples point of view.
iPods already sell like hotcake at the profits their making.

Looks like the 20Gb is the new 15 - no dock.
Bought one anyway. And the dock separately for thirty somethin bucks.

It clicks.
Smokey, this is not 'Nam, this is bowling. There are rules.
What is this "reduced price" I'm reading about? It looks like an iPod with more space than I need will still cost $299.
The presentation says it plays "a variety of formats".
Does is finally support Ogg Vorbis?

It doesn't matter that the "low end has always been without a dock and case", the point is that apple only shaved 22 dollars of the price of the 20gb not 100.
- what is the definition of simultanagnosia?! I've been meaning to look it up!
who cares about docks and cases, did they fix the fact that the built in batteries will probably die after 18 months????
