As we promised last week, we're revisiting iPod pricing this week, now that dealers have had plenty of time to add the new models to their online stores.

iPod classicApple updated the iPod line on Sept. 9. While many had anticipated the end of the iPod classic, Apple instead introduced a new 160 GB model.

The iPod classic retains the traditional iPod size and format, but it's thinner than before. It's the only current iPod with a hard drive. The iPod classic has an improved navigation system compared with older hard drive iPods, and it uses Cover Flow.

iPods aren't just for music, photos, and video; they're also a great way to backup and transport files between computers, especially with the capacity of hard drive-based models.

Because of the breadth of the iPod line, we have separate iPod price trackers for classic iPods, iPod touch, iPod nano, and iPod shuffle.

Apple released a helpful guide, Identifying Different iPod Models, and we've also produced Low End iPod's iPod Guide. In brief:

  • 1G iPods (2001/02) have a scroll wheel that physically turns with buttons surrounding the wheel and a FireWire port up top.
  • 2G iPods (2002) have a touch wheel and a FireWire port up top.
  • 3G iPods (2003/04) have a touch wheel, four buttons, and a dock connector.
  • 4G iPods (2004) have a click wheel and a dock connector.

4G iPods with color displays are listed as color or photo. 5G and 5.5G iPods are video iPods; they are not compatible with iTunes Movie Rentals. The iPod classic is compatible with rented movies.

Multiple vendors listed if within one dollar of lowest price.
