What do you think about the new iPod Lineup?

Hi, this being my second blog post, I'd like to point something out; I love seeing what my readers think of the things I talk about. So in this, as the title states, I'd like to know what you think about the new, 2010 iPod Line!
The new iPod Touch has some pretty great features, including not one, but two cameras! The one on the front is for a feature called FaceTime. If you're not familiar, it was introduced with the iPhone 4, and allows users to video call other iPhone users. Now it's available in the iPod touch. The new iPod touch is, I believe, A whopping  2mm thinner than the previous generation. It's got the most amazing display I've seen in a phone; the Retina Display. It's got an extremely large number of pixels-326 Per inch! As you can see, the new iPod Touch seems to be an iPhone 4 without the phone. Now let's get to the iPod Nano. Many people are skeptical about buying this product because of the lack of features. Did you know it doesn't even play video? Yes, that's right, it's the only iPod in at least 3 years that doesn't play video. It does have a Multi- Touch screen, and resembles iOS 4, even though Apple states that it doesn't run the OS. It also lost the beloved click-wheel. Being around since 2001, the click wheel can only be found currently on the iPod Classic line, which by the way was not changed at all. Anyway, the new iPod Nano just plays music, and includes a clock and FM radio. Personally, I don't think this new iPod Nano is the way to go. The iPod Shuffle now has " the best of both worlds" according to Apple. Voice-Over and Click-Wheel. I don't really know what it was like to own the previous generation, because the only one I ever owned was the predecessor to that model. But I can tell you that there was no way to control the  iPod without the included headphones (or another apple remote pair). If these weren't comfortable, I'm not really seeing how you would change songs with a different pair. Anyway, the new iPod Shuffle now has clickable controls once again. Voice-Over is a feature that has came with Mac OS X for many years, but Apple put it in the iPod shuffle last year. At least you had a way of knowing the song that would play, before it played. Like I said before, the new iPod Shuffle now has "The best of both worlds."

Thank's for reading this lengthy article, and please comment with your opinion. Thanks!
