Apple Finally Releases iPod Video - No Widescreen Yet

Spec-wise, the new iPod comes in 30 and 60 gigabyte capacities for $299 and $399 each, both of which can output video on a TV with an optional composite video cable. The 30GB has enough power for 14 hours of music, 3 hours of slide shows and 2 hours of video playback. The 60GB model boasts a larger battery pack that can play 20 hours of music, 4 hours of slide shows, and 3 hours of video.

While the iPod's new screen may not be as hi-res as the Sony PSP's, there is some speculation across the web that Apple's easier to manage interface for syncing video and the built in hard drive could force Sony to rethink their strategy and start producing more games for their handheld console. Here's hoping it's true!
