The fifth generation iPod is also priced lower, $249 for a 30 GB model and $349 for an 80 GB model.
And that 80GB model may come in handy because Apple announced movies on iTunes.

The designs are thinner.

Apple says the 1GB iPod shuffle is "the world’s smallest digital music player and all new, from the inside out"
sporting a
sturdy, built-in clip.

It's a little over an inch and half long and weighs about half an ounce.
iTunes
Apple announced a new version 7 of iTunes with new features of course!
Apple says:
Music, movies, TV shows, and audiobooks, or download free podcasts from the iTunes Store 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Play everything on your Mac or PC. Then sync it to your iPod and bring it along. Anywhere.

television shows and popular video games.
Apple calls this a this a fifth generation iPod.
and many of the games were designed specifically for it.
The new iPod is available in a 30GB model and an 80GB model.
Of course that kind of storage holds up to 20,000 songs or 100 hours of video,
but believe me if you start compiling videos the storage will go fast!
The 30GB model is priced at US$249 which is lower than it was before.
The 80GB model sells for $349 which reflects a top-of-the-line price
for all that storage capacity.
