Apple has just released a second generation Apple iPod. iPod, Apple's populair MP3 player has been upgraded and has now a 10 GB capacity to store your legally converted MP3 files on the device.

Another new feature is the Contacts feature that lets you view names and addresses downloaded from applications like Microsoft Entourage, Palm Desktop and Mac OS X Address Book for access to your personal information.

Now with a choice of a 5GB or 10GB iPod, you can take your entire music collection with you wherever you go.

Super. Let me know when I can get one for $150. I'm not paying $500 for a toy.

I think that $500 US is a lot of money for an iPod. I also think that the 23" Cinema Display they announced for $3,599 US is a lot of money as well. Good to see Apple keeping the reputation of being expensive :P

It really sucks that Apple is intent on behaving as if they are the only vendor on the market. The iPod is a great product. Unfortunately, you can get equally good products from Creative and Archos for barely over $100.
