So new iPods came out today, and woah. If you have yet to notice yet, I am quite a bit of a Mac fanboy so I get pretty excited when things like this happen. I watched the whole keynote that Steve Jobs gave at his special event. Ok now on to the ipods. The biggest change in the lineup comes in the iPod nano. This is now it's 4th generation. The biggest change is how it has gone back to it's tall and skinny design with a long display that still provides a decent video watching mode. Other than that and the addition of Genius, which is a new iTunes feature that not only suggests songs to you based on your music library, but also can compile playlists that will fit together seamlessly with one click. The new iPod touch also supports this new feature in addition to dropping in price and getting a new redesign with a few ascetic changes like it being thinner, gaining volume controls on the side like the iPhone and also gaining an internal speaker for "casual listening."
