New iPods arrived, so how about the names ?

In the times before yesterday, there was really simple iPod line-up. As Apple started making iPods more available to general public by making them cheaper, it always affected the features. First the mini, it was only 4GB (later 6GB) so it was kinda limited compared to "the iPod" (I'll get to this later). They they made the shuffle, again, no display, flash only memory. Tell me it was aimed at different target group but after all it was limited compared to his big brothers. "The iPod" then gained photo support, cool color display and mini was still there, black and white. Later on, Apple decided to kill the most successful iPod of the time, the mini as they introduced the nano and iPod video. But video was only nickname. It was still called "The iPod". It was on top them all. Nano could do the photos as the iPod with color display...but 5th generation brought in video support and it had plenty of storage compared to nano. So again "the iPod" was on top of them all!

That all changed yesterday. They had to give "classic" attribute to "the iPod" which was generally just upgraded with cooler OS and twice the storage.

"The iPod" is GONE!

Admit it, there's just no prime iPod that would be superior to any others...see, the touch has sleek interface, mostly everything the iPhone has but the storage is limited to 16GB. The iPod classic has tons of space, endless battery life but you can't pinch your photos or browse the web on it...the nano is the classic with smaller screen and less flash memory...but same otherwise, it can even import photos with the iPod Camera Connector. And that's a thing the "touch" can't do! WTF ? Why not?! Click the link to see for yourself...

Summary? You can't be "cool" and "on top if it all" with just one iPod today.

>P.S.: Apple just killed the original color of iPod yesterday. No love for white anymore :(
