Apple unveils new video-playing iPod
Apple has revealed a new top of the range iPod that plays songs and videos. The video-playing iPod has a 2.5 inch (6.35cm) color screen that is 320 by 240 pixels in size.

Apple has upgraded the original white iPod to a version that plays video.
The gadget will be available in the US next week and crams more storage and a bigger screen into a thinner package. Still mainly a music player, the revamped gadget will have 30 or 60 GB of storage and will be available in two colours – black and white. To give people something to watch on their video-playing iPod Apple is planning to make available more than 2,000 music videos on the iTunes store that will cost $1.99 each.
