Newsweek cover shows off new iPod

Steve Jobs is holding a new iPod, due for release Monday, on the cover of the July 26th issue of Newsweek. The new version of the iPod features a similar click-wheel to the iPod mini, 12 hours of battery life -- achieved through better conservation of power rather than a larger battery -- and multiple on-the-go playlists, among other features detailed in the cover story. The 20GB model replaces the 15GB for $300, while the 40GB model drops $100 to $400. There's no word on whether a rumored 60GB version will be announced or available at a later date. [updated]

In January 2002, an exclusive article in TIME magazine on Apple's then-unannounced flat-panel iMac was also inadvertantly leaked on the Web through an apparent snafu, unveiling Apple's revolutionary flat-panel iMac a few days before Steve Jobs was expected to publicly debut the iMac at Macworld Expo San Francisco.
