Apple has announced a new iPod which has a video function with a larger widescreen display but it's still about the music. This is not the iPod Video users may have been expecting. The new iPod has a 2.5 inch display, and run in the widescreen 16:9 resolution, 320 x of 240 pixels and supports MPEG 4, H.264. The 30 gigabyte model is $299, and is supposed to be 31% thinner than the current 20 gigabyte model. The 60 gigabyte is still thinner than the 20Gb that Apple currently sell. Both are to be released in black and white next week.

iTunes has an 84% market share in the US. Five weeks after the launch of iTunes 5, here's iTunes 6. Surely video downloads are the order of the day? Music Videos. 2000 available to buy. From Stuffmag, "- here are the big changes: firstly, 'gifting' - you can buy music for other people, who get an email telling them to download. Next: customer reviews - Amazon-style peer reviews of music. Third: Just For You (beta) - a recommendation service, again similar to what Amazon offers. - and finally... music videos. Currently there are 2000 available to buy. But they're gonna cost $1.99. And Pixar are offering 6 short films, also for $1.99. The price seems a bit high, and didn't get a cheer from the audience. The videos take the space of six songs (so about 20MB)." Videos downloaded will only work on five registered computers based on DRM and unlimited iPods

AND ONE MORE THING... You'll be able to buy TV shows from the iTunes Music Store. Desperate Housewives, Lost and more shows from ABC and Disney. Five shows will be available to watch on iPod or on your computer: Lost, Desperate Housewives, Nightstalker and The Suite Life. $1.99 an episode.
