Apple Refreshes iPods And iTunes Adds “Genius”

In preparation for the holiday sales season Apple tweaked its iPod product line:

• 160G iPod is out replaced at the top of the line with a sleeker 120G model
• a new taller and thinner Nano
• Three new IPod Touch models: an 8-gigabyte for $229; a 15G @ $299 and a 32 GB model for $399

iTunes 8 software also became available yesterday.  The major addition is a Pandora like music recommendation feature dubbed Genius.  Tell Genius that Over The Rhine suits your mood and it generates a playlist from your library that includes them and other similar sounding acts.
