Apple Unveils iPod Music Players for Windows PCs By REUTERS Filed at 10:53 a.m. ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL.O) Chairman Steve Jobs said on Wednesday Apple will expand the audience for its popular iPod music player with new versions of the device designed to work with Windows-based personal computers. Speaking to an audience of Apple loyalists at the bi-annual Macworld trade show here, Jobs also said it was cutting $100 off the prices of the two existing iPod models that run on Apple computers. Apple said it would offer its 1,000-song, five-gigabyte iPod for $299 and a 2,000-song, 10-gigabyte iPod for $399. It also said it would introduce a new $499 model capable of storing 4,000 songs, or roughly 20 billion bytes of data. All three models will be available to run on both Apple and PCs running Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT.O) Windows operating system. The Windows versions will be available starting in late August. "Isn't that cool?'' Jobs asked the audience of Apple faithful repeatedly as he demonstrated new software features to be offered on the Internet-based music-playing device. 4000 songs????

Hey, that's great! The price and the OS compatibility have kept me away from the iPod. Perhaps it's worth a look now. I have a friend who loooooooves his iPod and has been gushing about the damn thing for weeks...

Still a bit too expensive for my tastes.

Twenty gig mp3 players were cool about a year ago when they first came out. You can get the Archos 20 GB for about $200 less than the iPOD. Sonic Blue's 20 GB player costs even less than that.
Dammit, Apple, bring "cool stuff" out in a timely manner and at a decent price... then you may make a dent in the PC lovers' market. Where's the innovation? This is just marketing bs to keep minions flocking to their overpriced wares.

My Rio Riot was $329.00 and it holds around 4000 songs. It is great on long trips. You just set it to randomly play everything and you are entertained for hours.
