../ Apple Releases New iPodsApple Computer, Inc. recently announced two new models of iPods that haven't produced the major buzz they were hoping would ignite sales for the holiday season.The new iPod Photo comes in two incarnations, a 40 GB model for $499 and a 60 GB model for $599. Both models feature a new, full color, 220x176 resolution LCD screen with built-in backlighting. The iPod Photo also touts improved battery life with a claimed 15 hours of continuous music. Our tests have never achieved Apple's claimed battery life numbers, so your mileage will definitely vary.
The iPod U2 Special Edition is a little more inspiring visually since it comes in a sleek black case with a vivid red "Click Wheel." On the chrome back-side it has the etched autographs of all four band members and the U2 logo. The 20 GB $349 U2 iPod showcases how cool the iPod could be if it took the marketing lead of its baby sister, the iPod Mini, and came in some other colors besides diaper white. The Future: The iPod Photo is not the direction that many devoted iPod users wanted the digital music player to move when forging ahead into the future. Showing off your iPhoto library on a screen the size of a postage stamp is just not that compelling, especially at $600 bucks. The iPod U2 may be the perfect companion for playing the new U2 album that was recently leaked on KaZaA last week.
