The rumors were true. Two new iPods were released today. The first is the iPod photo and comes in 40 GB and 60 GB models featuring a colour screen to view all your photos. While the colour screen is a nice touch, I have a feeling many people will find it a tad expensive to start – but still very nice! Of course, most people initially feel that Apple’s products are a bit expensive when they are first announced but then Apple can’t keep up with the demand. This will probably be the case this time again! These are available to purchase immediately.

The second is the U2 iPod that has been passed through the rumor mill for the past few days. It’s a black iPod with red scroll wheel on the front to correspond with the album cover for U2’s new album. These will be available in November when U2’s album is released.

Many European countries were added to the iTunes music store today as well. While Canada is still left out, Apple also officially confirmed today that we would be getting our own music store in November. Looks like the November 26th date that’s been floating around might be correct afterall.
