I was really looking forward to the u2 Ipod, but having a look at it yesterday, made me drop it from the consideration set pronto. matte black woul dhav elooked good. the glossy black and ferrari red click whel, just don't cut it. with my CD collection running into hundreds. iPod mini has too little space to be of practical use... the 60G iPod is obscenely priced at $600 US. this rules that out.
So now the toss up is between the 40 Gig iPod 4G and the 40 Gig iPod Photo.
What does the Photo version have that the 4G doesn't?
Colour Screen
Photo Viewer
Carrying Case
25% more playback time
-8 mins skip protection
TV out
+.2 ounces in weight
AV Cable
The Official case alone retails for 20 USD. If they'd added the remote. the new Photo bundle would dhave been a fabulous deal at 500 USD.. they could have evn dropped the case and kept the remote, even then would have been a good deal... but right now, I just can't justify the extra 100 USD for above features. Now that the new prod hype is done. I guess the 4G is the best bang for the buck iPod.
Of course there are the other players as well.. but with no support in India (free or otherwise), it rules them out very quickly.
