If you haven’t heard by now, you can now get your hands on the new iPod which features a color display.

It now comes in two sizes (instead of the previous three), 20GB and 60GB, and features a 220×176-pixel display capable of 65,536-colours. Not only that, it is also Podcast-ready!

You can read more about the new iPod at the Apple.ca website.

The Sony Walkman has sold over 300 million units since it’s creation in 1979. It used to be the must-have personal music player, but that title has since been taken over by the Apple iPod.

To fight back, Sony is planning a comeback with a re-engineered, re-designed version of the Walkman. The current Walkman, the Network Walkman, is able to store up to 13,000 songs and sells for $299. The upcoming Walkman can only be even better and is set to debut sometime in the next 6 months. I guess we’ll have to wait a bit to see if it comes even close the iPod and the other players in the iPod family.

The new Coldplay-branded Solio, the new solar-powered iPod charger, is incredible (just like the new Coldplay CD!). The Solio was introduced at MacWorld San Francisco 2005 and is offered through the Coldplay website, where only 200 units will be available.

Engadget is reporting that Motorola is close to shipping an iTunes capable cellphone. Finally.

This news comes after much debate about which party, Steve Jobs et al or the wireless carriers themselves, who were delaying the release of such iTunes cellphones.

Logitech has just launched a set of wireless iPod headphones, and they look incredible!

They are expected to weigh 3.2 oz and come with a wireless adapter, which will connect to the iPod through the headphone jack. The wearer will be able to control his iPod using the controls on the side of the headset, which communicates back to the iPod using Bluetooth technology.

“Wireless headphones unleash people from their music player and remove the nuisance of cords,” said Ray Weikel, director of product marketing for Logitech’s Audio Business Unit. “No more untangling those earbuds when you pull your iPod out of the bag, or managing the cords while trying to enjoy your music. We believe our wireless headphones will truly be liberating for iPod owners.”

Pretty nice, eh!
