As predicted, new iPod have hit the virtual online shelf at the Apple store.

These include new ranges on the Shuffle, Nano, Classic and Touch series.

The Shuffle starts from AU$65 with 1GB and AU$89 for 2GB.

The Nano, which now comes with a much bigger screen (2 inches) to support better video viewing, starts from AU$199 for 8GB and AU$279 for 16GB.

However the 16GB has a 7-10 day delivery period within Australia while the other will ship withing 24 hours.

The Classic – which only has one model storing 120GB sells for AU$339

Finally the iPod Touch, starts at AU$329 for 8GB, AU$419 for 16GB and AU$549 for 32GB. It has the biggest screen of all at 3.5 inches supporting Multi Touch and is WiFi capable.

I haven’t had a hands on feel on any of these models – but I’m sure the Apple Store on George St, Sydney as well as other Apple Stores in Myer and David Jones would stock them too.

Despite the new releases of the iPod range – Apple’s stock have dropped $6.24 (-3.95%) closing on Tuesday 9th (American time). I will be reviewing this tomorrow to see the results of stock close on 10th Sept (American time).
