Apple Updates iPod

TheRaven64 writes "Apple seems to have quietly updated the iPod Photo and iPod Mini lines. The Mini now comes in 4GB and 6GB flavours, priced at $199 and $249 respectively. The iPod Photo now comes in a 30GB flavour for $349 - only $50 more than the 20GB iPod with a mono screen and shorter battery life."

  1. Some help please. by El+Camino+SS · · Score: 1, Troll


    Anyone have any good options to an iPod? I am not a fan of iTunes for some reason, and was wondering if there was anything I could get besides an iPod, CHEAPER, that would make me just as happy.

    I don't care what it looks like, unless it is just ugly as hell.

  2. Still no user replacable battery by falser · · Score: 0, Troll

    Creative got on the ball with their iPod mini competitor. The thing comes with 2 battery packs right off the bat. The word is definitely getting out about the iPod's battery failure rates, and the expense of replacing it. I'll never be a purchaser until they fix this stuff.

    yeah, well considering the 60gb photo used to be 599 and now it's 449, so is it really a big deal that they took away the dock (which I don't think most people even know what to do with)?

    Apple seems to have quietly updated

    The quieter they are about something, the more free advertising they seem to get from places like this.

    It's just a music player with more space. There's absolutely nothing revolutionary about it, and the evolutionary aspect is expected.

    Slow news day, I guess.

    Thank you, oh great and final arbiter of all that is and is not Slashdot, User 668092.

    Go read the FAQ for this site and come back when you are done. Until then, STFU.
