Two tidbits of Apple news today.

First of all, they’ve messed with the iPod line. There’s no more plain ol’ iPod; all of them are now iPod photos. Also, now there’s just 20GB and a 60GB models. (There are still iPod minis and shuffles, of course.) They must have realized things were getting a little hectic with all the different versions. Look at the new lineup here.

Second, iTunes 4.9 is out. The big new feature is podcast support. Podcasts, if you’re too lazy to click on the link I just made, are essentially homemade ameteur radio shows, packaged as MP3s for your downloading pleasure. They’ve been gaining popularity recently, and their integration into iTunes will probably ensure their long-term success. Apple’s info on this new feature can be found here.
