Bellamy Posted February 23, 2005 at 02:24 PM Posted February 23, 2005 at 02:24 PM Apple unveils new 6GB iPod mini, drops 4GB price to $199 Apple today introduced the second-generation iPod mini lineup, reducing the price of its first-generation 4GB model to $199, while introducing a new 6GB model priced at $249. Both iPod mini models feature increased battery life of up to 18 hours, and retain the same black-and-white screen found in the initial model. The 4GB and 6GB models of iPod mini for Mac or Windows are available worldwide immediately in a choice of silver, pink, blue or green. Each of the three latter colors is an updated, stronger shade of the previous iPod mini color, while gold - a color long tipped to be relatively unpopular - has quietly been discontinued. Apple has also apparently dropped both FireWire cables ($19) and FireWire Power Adapters ($29) from the iPod mini boxes, and now includes only a single USB 2.0 cable - presumably for computer-aided recharging. The company now separately sells a USB Power Adapter ($29), recently reviewed on iPodlounge, for wall power charging. Simultaneous with the release of the new iPod mini, Apple has also announced five new colors of its neoprene exercise Armband - orange, yellow, blue, pink, and grey - in addition to its previous black version. Each is priced at $29, and is an "Apple Store Exclusive." A single iPod mini lanyard ($19) has also been introduced, and appears to attach to the mini's bottom. Apple intros new iPod photo models, Camera Connector In addition to updated iPod minis, Apple today announced a revamped iPod photo family, including a new "slim" 30GB model for $349 and a 60GB model for $449 - a $150 price drop from its previous level. Apple's 30GB model loses 10 Gigabytes, $150, 0.5 ounces of weight and 0.12" thickness from the earlier 40GB iPod photo, while the 60GB model remains the same size. Both the 30GB and 60GB iPod photos are available immediately. Apple is also promising updated iPod photo software for a March release to include "new slideshow transitions" that can be picked "on the go." Both of the new models feature the ability to import photos directly from your digital camera via an optional new iPod Camera Connector for instant viewing and slide show playback on iPod photo. The Connector is expected to be available in late March for $29. The new iPod photo models no longer include iPod photo Docks, iPod photo AV cables, or cases, and more surprisingly, Apple has also apparently dropped both FireWire cables and FireWire Power Adapters from the iPod photo boxes. Each iPod photo now includes only a single USB 2.0 cable - presumably for computer-aided recharging. The company now separately sells a USB Power Adapter ($29), recently reviewed on iPodlounge, for wall power charging, and each of the other items is available separately. On a related note, Apple has discontinued the 40GB fourth-generation iPod (previously $399) and the 40GB iPod photo ($499). The fourth-generation 20GB iPod remains at a $299 price point.

Well how can we ask for more... We might make love in some sacred place... The look on your face is delicate

Bellamy Posted February 24, 2005 at 11:07 AM Author Posted February 24, 2005 at 11:07 AM Apple offers discounts on original iPod photo models The Special Deals section of Apple's online store is offering the original iPod photo models at discounted prices following today's announcement of updated models. The 40GB iPod photo is now priced at $379 (was $499) and the 60GB model is priced at $479 (was $599). Keep in mind that today's iPod photos sell for $349 for a 30GB model and $449 for the 60GB model. However, the original iPod photos came with a number of accessories that today's models lack--such as an Apple carrying case ($29 retail), photo Dock ($39), FireWire cable ($19), and AV cable ($19). Both the original and second-generation iPod photos ship with Apple earphones, AC adapter, and USB 2.0 cable.
