New TV Advert By Apple For The New iPod

Apple has created a new TV advert in order to show the public their new ideas for the iPod Touch, Nano and the Shuffle. It still seems strange that there is a market for the iPod when there are so many Smartphone's and mobile phones that can offer music storage.

According to the Apple website this what you can expect to find in the new iPod;

For the first time, iPod touch is made from the same kind of anodised aluminium used in the MacBook line. And it's made the same way too: by machining the enclosure from a single piece of aluminium. Which means the first thing you'll notice about iPod touch is its barely-there weight. Then its super-smooth finish. Then all those Apple details - like the highly polished bevelled edges. And iPod touch is made from one of the strongest grades of aluminium there is. Which means that it not only looks and feels incredible, it's tough enough to tag along on more than a few crazy nights out.

The new iPods are already shipping prices start from 40 in the UK or $65 in the US.
