Breaking News: Apple Releases "ProPod"
Following up on last week's announcement of a beefed-up 10 gigabyte iPod, Apple has released a 15 GB iPod-like portable named "ProPod." The unit has all the MP3 and contact managing features of the iPod and adds all the capabilities of a full-size DJ mixing deck, including 256 different beats, turntable-like scratching controlled by the center jog dial, and a 32 bit equalizer.
The unit also features an upgraded color screen that displays iTunes-style visuals. With an optional $49 cord that attaches to the unit's standard FireWire port, the visuals can be output to any projector or monitor with composite video input capability, which fully completes the "party soundsystem in your pocket" package that the ProPod includes. Apple's marketing is already taking this angle: the ProPod page <http://www.apple.com/ipod/propod/> at Apple has the tagline "A Kickass Psychedelic All-Night Rave....To Go." The ProPod's price has been set at $699 and will be available in "two weeks" according to the company's press release.
