Apple Finally Unveils Video iPod

Nate Mook writes in BetaNews:

It's official. At an event in San Jose Wednesday, Apple ended months of speculation by introducing the first generation video-enabled iPod, moving the company into the portable media center space. The new iPod will sport a 2.5-inch TFT display and stays in the familiar form factor used by its predecessors.

The 320x240 pixel display supports only 260,000 colors, but does include a video-out jack for hooking the iPod up to a TV. Real-time decoding of MPEG-4 and H.264 video content is supported. Apple is releasing the video iPod in two models: a 30GB version for $299 USD and a 60GB version for $399 USD. Both models are thinner than the current 20GB iPod and include a case to prevent scratching.
