Apple iPod snaps, crackles and pops

As expected the iPod Photo, is very pretty and comes with reassuringly expensive price tags of $499 and $599.

It can store up to 25,000 wallet-size digital images and display them on a television via a cable. It comes with 40GB or 60GBe disk storage, and stores more than 15,000 songs.

The juke-box was released by Apple guru Steven Jobs with the motto "all of your songs and photos in your pocket." It will hit the shops in the US next week. µ
