The Rumor ended up to actually be true.

The largest change of all of the iPods is the iPod Nano. They have come out with something called the nano- chromatic. It is similar to the first and second generation iPod, but with a larger screen, accelerometer controls like the iPod Touch, and a larger hard drive.

Another major change that has taken place is the remake of the iPod Touch. The new model has external volume controls and a curve to the back of it. The main change is the lowering of the price. The new 8GB iPod Touch is only $229.

The last major change in the iPod line is the iPod Classic. All of these are 120GB for $249.

There is a minor change in the ipod shuffle’s. All they have done is changed the colors back to the origional colors they were when they first came out.

iTunes 8 has also come out, just as predicted. Two major changes have occured. The iTunes library has been changed so it can be organized by album, artist, composer, or Genre. The other major change is the addition of the new tool called Genius. It is a new playlist service that can scan your songs and playlists and can come up with new playlists based on the Genre of music.

This is all Apple has come out with so far. There is still a hope for new laptops to come out sometime soon before the holidays.
