New iPod lineup from Apple features photos, color
"iPod customers love to enhance their listening experience with color," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of iPod Product Marketing. "By simplifying our iPod lineup to include 20GB and 60GB models with color screens and the new Podcast menu, iPod and iTunes provide the world's easiest and appealing way to discover, subscribe, manage and listen to Podcasts."
The 20GB and 60GB iPods for Mac or Windows are available immediately worldwide for a suggested retail price of $300 and $400 (a $50 price drop). The new iPod U2 Special Edition also includes a color screen, has been reduced in price to $330 (from $350), and only ships with a USB 2.0 cable. Apple also reduced 1GB iPod shuffle is now $130. Apple said the new Podcast menu is available starting today via a free iPod software update for all Click Wheel iPods and iPod minis.

At least one would hope.
But what's the deal with just a 20 and 60 GB models. No 40? Why not start at 40? Seems like a big gap there.
As usual w/ their announcements, much is left out. What about that "updated" CPU that is far, far more power efficient than the old one (that allowed the latest mini's to get 20 hours of use)? I was expecting it to be a feature of the next round of updates...
My 2ct.

Where did Apple announce this? Or did you believe rumor sites? There's a reason Apple doesn't like rumor sites.
I knew the News catagory would exist, but expected at least some of the FOX, and CNN news casts to be online. ABC has a newscast and they also make Nightline available..but that's it.. Oh yeah, CNBC had somethinb but does anyone watch/listen to that station?
Anyway, I didn't even see Rush and I'm not a Rush fan persay but he's HUGE on the iPod (no pun intended) but he does Podcast. I can only assume maybe he charges for it (which I can see, unfortunately).
Anyway, I also noticed that there are VERY FEW morning shows... I really was looking forward to seeing more than 4 online..its sad.

Not impressed about the number of podcasts? The software has been out for a few HOURS!
SHADDUP!
But some update is better than none. Still, the iPod is behind in features.
