Just up the road from where I am at the moment, Apple today introduced the iPod Photo, that lets you take your entire music and photo library with you wherever you go.
Sadly, I didn't get an invite to the event (I'm at a conference at the moment) but I can tell you that at the hotel I am in there is an O'Reilly Mac OS X conference also (more on that at a later date) and many people were anxiously awaiting today's announcement.
More from the Apple press release (sorry folks, need to get back to the conference)....
iPod Photo
holds up to 25,000 digital photos alongside your music library and
displays them on a high-resolution color screen, allowing
you to scroll through your photo library almost instantly using iPod's
patent pending Click Wheel. iPod Photo lets you combine your music and
your favorite photos to create magical slideshows on your iPod, and
features TV-out for sharing your slideshows on big screen televisions
and projectors.
iPod Photo comes in 40GB or 60GB models which hold up to 10,000 or 15,000 songs, and its extended battery life gives users up to 15 hours of music playback or up to 5 hours of slideshows.
"Having both your entire photo and music collections with you wherever you go is the next big thing," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Everyone has a digital camera and wants to enjoy and share their growing library of digital photos wherever they are. Unlike video content, photo content is free and abundant, and there are no copyright issues to deal with."
With its vivid color screen and backlight, iPod Photo displays crisp, clear photos both indoors and outdoors, so users can take their digital photo collection wherever they go and easily share their memories with family and friends. iPod Photo creates an entirely new iPod experience in full color for viewing album artwork, calendars, contacts and games, adding even more excitement to iPod.
Featuring Apple's patent pending Auto-Sync technology, iPod Photo makes it easy to automatically download your entire digital music and digital photo library onto iPod and keep it up-to-date whenever it is plugged into a Mac or Windows computer using FireWire or USB. Mac users can Auto-Sync their iPod with their photo library in iPhoto?
