It sports a color screen, 2 or 4GB sizes, 14 hour battery life and is not a whole lot larger than the iPod Shuffle. It sells for $199 (2GB) or $249 (4GB). The high end is only $50 less than the 20GB iPod which seems like a bit of a stretch to me, but I guess people will buy it because it&#8217;s small and looks cool, not because of how much music it holds (that&#8217;s why they bought the minis right?).<\/p>\n<p><strong>iTunes 5.0<\/strong><br \/>\nApple also released a new version of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itunes.com\">iTunes (ver. 5.0) <\/a>which sports a new (more streamlined\/rounded) look similar to the new Mail.App in Tiger.<br \/>\nAlso new in this release:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Search Bar<\/strong>\n<p>Find stuff fast and refine your search with the handy new Search Bar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smart Shuffle<\/strong>\n<p>Adjust random playback to hear what you want.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sync from Outlook<\/strong>\n<p>iTunes now supports iPod syncing for Outlook and Outlook Express on Windows PCs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Playlist Folders<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nOrganize all your playlists into folders.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parental Controls<\/strong>\n<p>Limit kids\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 access to the iTunes Music Store and sharing features.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Album Reviews<\/strong>\n<p>Browse over 1,000 album reviews.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iTunes for Your Mobile Phone<\/strong>\n<p>Sync music to the Motorola ROKR E1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><br \/>\niPod Phone (ROKR E1)<\/strong><br \/>\nApple&#8217;s third (and least impressive) release today was the iPod Phone from Motorola.
