I see they have 20 and 60gb models and were wondering if they were unchanged with the new photo capabilities across the line.

Thanks,

Yeah just a price drop on the 60 and the 20 is now color, I think that's all.
g4/1.5 GHz 12 inch powerbook / 1.25 RAM / 80 gig / Superdrive / 10.5.6
g3/400 MHz Pismo / 640 RAM / 40 gig / Combo Drive / 10.3.9

i can confirm that is the only modification... also the 20 gb version is a 30 shell with a 20gig drive... they are the same dimentions (there was a small tweak in the port location on the 30 gig)

It's a shame - a 30GB for $299 would be hot -

u can get a ipod photo 30gb for $300 i did....... just go to the apple web site and click on the education link on the right... it will ask u if u work at a school or if u are a student... if you are
just find your school...... if you dont work at a school or arn't a student just find some random school and do it anyway...... after you have done this it should say education ind green font under the search box..... type in "ipod" in the search and there should be a 30gb ipod photo for $300. this works bcause since they came out with a newer model the 30gb now sells for $330 and the education discount takes $30 of the price......
it a really great deal... and extra 10gb for FREE this also will work with a U2 ipod so u get it for $300.... or use it for any apple purchise to get about 30% off....

Seems like doing that would be illegal and unfair if you aren't a student.

Yes it would be. If you aren't a student, don't mess it up for the rest of us who are.

Just remember that the Internet is public.

Anyone who wants to read it can. Including Apple.
