What I am most excited about is the new iPod Photo. It’s a 40- or 60GB iPod, so you can carry up to 15,000 songs with you, with full-color artwork. But the coolest part is you can also carry up to 25,000 photos with you, and it automatically syncs with iPhoto. Basically, you could take 100 pictures of your kids each month for the next 18 years, and still have room for more photos. To me, that’s pretty amazing.
But who wants to pass around a little iPod to look at pictures? Well, with the included AV connector, you can plug the iPod Photo into a TV and watch your slideshows…with music from your collection, of course. The iPod Photo even automatically formats output to fit on a 4:3 or 16:9 screen. In addition to the cool new color interface, the standard font is Myriad, which is a personal favorite of mine. All this for only $499 for the 40GB version, or $599 for the 60GB.
