They also released the iPod Hi-Fi
It’s basically a speaker system for your iPod. It will retail with $349. Alot of after market accesories manufacturers (like Bose) might be a little angry about this.
Lastly,
they announced new leather cases for the 5G iPod and the iPod Nano. they are $99 which frankly, I think is far too expensive for a simple case.
