New iPods Released – Video, Wi-Fi and More!

Apple has announced their new line of iPods and they are nothing short of brilliant. For the first time, the iPod Nano will have the ability to store and view up to 5 hours of video with an enhanced interface. The iPod classic now comes in sizes up to a whopping 160 gigs and boasts a sleeker, all metal design. Cover flow, a featured introduced in the iPhone to flip through album art is also available in the Classic. Prices start at $249 for the Classic and $139 for the Nano. It doesn’t end there though. The biggest news is the new iPod touch. This iPod is basically an iPhone without the Phone. Welcome to the future of handheld computing. The touch is supported by the Mac OSX operating system and has the same multi-touch technology of the iPhone along with Wi-Fi and a full version of the Safari web browser. A big 3.5 inch wide screen display will play video at a quality you won’t believe until you see it. Soon Apple will take the wraps off of a Wi-Fi version of the iTunes music store where you will be able to preview and buy music directly from your Wi-Fi connection. When you go back to your computer to sync your iPod it will add it to your iTunes library. The iPod touch starts at $299. These new features and devices will be a boon to any real estate professional that has iTunes compatible video content. (Flash based real estate videos, including YouTube (see comments), are not compatible with the iPod touch or iPhone). Looks like it’s going to be another huge holiday season for Apple.
