New Ipods

[spray]

rather underwhelming it seems that the new ipods are available.

i must say, i like.

i currently own a karma but spent a long time deliberating between the two, battery life and on the fly playlist was the clincher.

now it seems that apple have got everything you could need, "12 hour" battery, likely to be 10 in the real world but thats good enough for a full days use. they've got on the fly-playlists so look ready to bring down the competition.

The current generation has about 8 hours promised, more like 6 but that's by far enough for my use. I've gone to work and had it running throughout (if you don't mess with it, it uses up FAR less battery as it does less hard drive accessing) for the whole day and use up about 1/2 battery. Plus it only takes an hour to charge it back up to 95% capacity or something ridiculous. I don't need any more battery life

As I see on the screenshot, they finally managed to make the song shuffling to the main menu.
That's the only thing annoying me a bit on my original iPod

But maybe they'll fix this now with a FW upgrade

jfyi, 40GB iPods are 310 quid at ebuyer, thats 90 quid off retail.
