Apple certainly hasn't been quiet in recent months in regard to the iPod. First was the diminutive Nano, then the iTunes-enabled telephone, the Motorola ROKR, and now the video iPod. The new iPod is similar to previous versions of the top-end model, with the recognisable white and metal colours and scroll wheel, although it is thinner than the last version. The standout feature of the new model is the large 6.35 cm colour screen, which allows you to view pictures or watch videos. A limited selection of videos is downloadable through Apple's online iTunes Music Store, which went live in Australia, after an excruciating wait, on 25 October 2005. Oh, and it's also available in black, showing that perhaps black is, after all, the new black.
