iPod coming Tuesday
That’s right. There’s a new iPod coming most likely on Tuesday. And we know about it thanks to the boneheads at Newsweek screwing up and printing the story a little to early. Anyway there are some new things:
- A ‘clickwheel’ combines the buttons and the wheel, to make the interface even more compact and streamlined. As you can see in the picture.
- “more efficient menu’s”
- “Multiple on-the-go playlists”, ability to delete songs from mixes.
- Audiobooks can be listened to at normal, slower or 25% faster without ’sounding like a munchkin’
- 50% boost in battery life
- Lower price: $399 for 40GB, $299 for 20 GB. No 15GB.
Score one for Apple. I’m sure Jobs is pleased with the results, he’s got another winner in line.

Please Apple,
Make this new iPod ship to Australia first.
We are very unhappy that the iPod mini was available in USA for more than 6 months before taking orders international.
