ipod classis v/s ipod nano v/s ipod touch which one?

So Apple has been pretty busy it seems.

At the “beat goes on” special event they unveiled 3 new iPods, as everybody who doesn’t live under a rock predicted.

Here’s a rundown:


iPod Nano

The new units will include 2-inch, QVGA, 320 x 240 screens that are 65-percent brighter than previous models and have the highest pixel density the company has ever shipped (204 pixels per inch). In addition to the new screens, the extra-wide player will sport an enhanced UI and its own version of Cover Flow. The Nano will come bundled with three games, including a circular-Arkanoid rip-off called Vortex, and apparently you’ll be able to purchase more from the iTunes store. The player’s battery life has also been extended to 24 hours of playback for audio, and 5 hours for video.

The 4GB model will be selling for $149, though it’s only available in silver, while the rainbow-colored 8GB will leave you $199 lighter in the wallet.

iPod Classic

Like the brand new Nano, the flagship iPod is also sporting an all-new interface with Cover Flow. The iPod comes in 80GB and 160GB capacities, with 30 hours of battery for audio playback, 6 hours of video on the 80GB version, and 40 hours audio, 7 hours video for the 160GB device.

The iPod Classic is getting a new all-metal shell, and is selling at $249 for the 80gb, $349 for 160.

iPod Touch

The new iPod Touch has “the same size screen as the iPhone, but it’s even thinner” and it also touts the “same multi-touch interface” found on the firm’s handset. Additionally, it boasts a 3.5-inch widescreen display, the ability to “flick through your photos,” and you even get the “slide to unlock” feature, too. And yes, this thing actually has WiFi, which means web-surfing. As for battery life, the Touch will last 22-hours when playing back audio and 5 hours when watching video.

The iPod touch will be arriving in 8GB and 16GB flavors and will be priced at $299 and $399, respectively.
