Apple revisit iPod lineup


Apple gave the iPod touch some much needed attention. The nano and shuffle, however, seem to just get a new array of colors.

The new iPod touch gets boosted up to the current A8 CPU, 8 MP f/2.4 camera, and 1 GB of memory. The upgrade breaths new life into the portable media player and brings it basically up to speed with the iPhone 6.

I'm sure it's no coincidence that the iPod touch is finally updated just following the launch of the new Apple Music service. The iPod touch originally shipped largely as a gateway into the iOS app ecosystem and here Apple is probably trying to do something similar for its streaming service.

Pricing is $199 for the 16 GB model, $249 for the 32 GB and $299 for the 64 GB.
