Newsweek cover reveals new iPod
July 17, 2004 - 20:53 PDT
The cover of the July 26th issue of Newsweek reveals the much-rumored next generation iPod, which is expected to be unveiled early next week. The new digital music device appears to be slightly smaller in size than the third generation model and sports a new scroll wheel very similar to the one found on Apple's iPod mini. The new iPod also retains a black and white screen (sorry folks, no color this time). Newsweek's headline reads: "iPod, Therefore i Am. Steve Jobs and The Must-Have Music Player Everyone Is Talking About." MacMinute is working to obtain a copy of the magazine for more details on the new iPods such as storage size, pricing, battery life, etc.
Update: The new iPod will be available in 40GB ($399) and 20GB ($299) capacities only -- Apple said it is phasing out the 15GB model. The 4G iPod is about a millimeter thinner than the previous generation and features: 12 hours of battery life (a 50 percent boost); an iPod mini-like click wheel; more efficient menus (less thumbing required); and the ability to create multiple on-the-go playlists and delete songs from them.
