As expected:
The iPod photo now has the ability to directly grab photos from your digital camera. No bluetooth however.
No color screen. Improved battery life though (18 hours) and the gold version got dropped.
Apple can’t come out hitting homeruns every announcement. Nice upgrades, but all these damn rumor sites got me too excited. My own damn fault.

1I think the ability to connect it to the camera directly is awesome. Should have been there from the start though.
I didn’t read all the rumor sites so I’m not disappointed by it. :)

2Can it really be that expensive to put a color LCD into a mini? I mean, just about every cellphone has a color screen these days.
Nice upgrades. I would have liked to have seen the color screen in the Mini, but the capacity bump is nice.
The bluetooth-capable iPod will probably be the next big thing…maybe announced at WWDC in June?

3I’m still lost as to why we need photos in our iPods. I want the iPhone.

4Donnie, (with this new connector anyway) it’s so you don’t have to tote around a laptop to dump photos off your camera whenever you fill up your 512 or 1g or whatever card. And so execs and soccer moms can do slideshows of their presentations/vacations and feel special. lol

Why do iPods need colour LCD screens if you’re using them to play music? Frankly, I’m glad Apple had the good sense to stick with a monochrome display to keep costs down for lower end iPods.
