Apple has launched a new version of the iPod that plays both audio and video. The new video iPod comes in a 30GB version for $299 and a 60GB version that costs $399. Apple is now selling music videos for the iPod at its iTunes store for $1.99. They have also cut a very interesting deal with ABC and Disney television that makes individual episodes of popular shows like Lost and Desperate Housewives available for purchase at iTunes.com for $1.99 per episode. We think this new iPod will be one of the most popular holiday gifts. Despite the small 2.5-inch iPod screen the portability of the device makes it worth it for viewing video. Being able to watch an episode of your favorite show while traveling on a plane or waiting for the oil to be changed on your car will be very popular. The Disney shows and Pixar shorts could also help keep your kids quiet during a long car road. For more information, USA Today offers has a Q&A about the new iPod works.
