There was whispering awhile back that iPod and MP3s were going to die off due to new technology forecasts. But Apple sure put a fast stop to these rumors by releasing news of its plan, in conjunction with automakers, to include factory-connections for iPods, and more importantly, its new iPod version.

Apple unveiled the new iPod on September 12, and it is a winner! The new iPod is a 5th generation toy with capacity sizes of 30GB and a giant 80GB. The 30 GB gives the listener 14 hours of music play, while the 80GB gives up to 20 hours. Both sizes give you a 2.5 inch color display with a 60% brighter display according to Apple.

The newest player has received excellent reviews far and wide, with PC Magazine giving it their prestigious Editor's Choice Award.

With everything these little toys are capable of, users will continue to listen to songs, watch movies and videos, play games, listen to audio books, view photos and watch TV shows for a very long time to come.

The technology is amazing and Apple continues to lead the way in portable entertainment. With the news of a breakthrough in laser-transmitted signals, the amount of information that will be able to be transmitted from processors even faster and more effectively has all techies waiting for the newest breakout in technology to be available for the general public. But alas, the news of this laser breakthrough also states it will be a couple more years before the tech community will be able to harness this power for you and I.

That's okay though'with the amazing breakthroughs over just the last couple of years, time is going very quickly when it comes to upgrading technologies we already have and enjoying the ultra-fast journey. The journey seems to begin anew every 3 ' 6 months, doesn't it?

Available downloads for all kinds of portable players are all over the web. Some sites are quite distrustful, and others are easy to acknowledge as safe. As with all things in life'common sense rules!

So, let's enjoy what we have, and look towards the future with anticipation. We will get our collective socks knocked off again and again if the past is any indication.
