The new super-slim iPod once again
redefines what a digital music player should be. It’s lighter
than 2 CDs, can hold up to 7500 songs, and downloads music at
blazing speeds. Now you can take your entire music collection with
you wherever you go. Available for Mac and Windows.
Three lighter thinner models
Smaller than ever (just 0.62 inches thick), the new iPod fits
comfortably in the palm of your hand and slips easily into your
pocket — and your life. At 5.6 ounces, it weighs less than 2
compact discs, and even many cell phones. And yet the iPod gives
you a huge 10GB, 15GB or 30GB hard drive. Do the math: that’s
space enough to store three weeks of music — played
continuously, 24/7 — or one new song a day for the next 20
years.

Compared to 2 compact discs, iPod is 15% lighter, 65% smaller and can
hold over 7,000 more songs.
Ahead-of-the-curve design
Once again, Apple turns the portable digital music player market on its ear with
hassle-free functionality and stunning, well-considered design that place iPod
far ahead of the curve and the competition. Building on the success of the touch
wheel (which made scrolling through an entire music collection quick and easy),
the new iPod has been re-engineered with a all-touch interface for enhanced
durability and sensitivity. With an LCD screen and buttons that feature a
backlight for clear visibility in low-light conditions, iPod is designed for
easy one-handed operation. So the best way to take an entire music collection
anywhere is now even better.
Downloads done right
The perfect companion to iPod, the iTunes
Music Store is a groundbreaking new way to preview, buy and download music.
Within a minute of finding a song you like, you can own it. Make unlimited
playlists, burn individual songs to CD as many times as you like, and take all
your music with you.
The iPod Dock
The 15GB and 30GB iPod models come with a dock that makes charging and syncing
easier than ever — no more reaching around, looking for the right port. An
elegant, convenient home base for iPod on a desk or connected to a home stereo
system, the dock provides syncing via FireWire or USB 2.0*,
charging via FireWire and audio line out for connecting to powered speakers or a
stereo system.
High fidelity
Designed to give you the best portable digital music experience ever, the iPod
delivers the highest sound quality from input to output. iPod supports the most
popular audio formats — including MP3 (up to 320 kbps), MP3 Variable Bit Rate
(VBR) and WAV — giving you access to a wide range of audio file types. And
iPod is the only portable digital music player that supports the AAC format
(Mac-only), which features CD-quality audio in smaller file sizes than MP3, so
that even more songs fit on your iPod.
More ways to have fun
The iPod now lets you do a whole lot more in addition to maintaining your
contacts, calendar and to-do lists. iPod now includes Solitaire,
Brick and Parachute, three great games you can play anywhere (a feature you’re
sure to appreciate the next time you’re standing in line or waiting for
someone). You can even use your own music as the soundtrack to a game.
iPod also includes a notes
reader that lets you download text-based information and read it on the
screen. This way you can have the information you need — on everything from
restaurant reviews to nightlife guides, and from news articles to exercise
routines — at your fingertips.
The perfect travel companion
The iPod features a sleep timer, so you can fall asleep to your music. And with
the iPod’s new alarm
clock, you can choose either an alarm tone or your favorite music to wake
you up.
*Syncing with USB 2.0 (Windows-only) requires optional USB
2.0 + FireWire Cable and free software update (available in June).
