No super special name, just called The iPod, this new iPod has two versions, 20GB for $299 and 60GB for $399 and will be 30% thinner than the current 20GB models. The big news: video!

Engadget was there to break it down live:

Tunes 6.0 will also feature video and the iTunes Music Store will feature Fairplay DRMed video downloads (big surprise, right?). At launch over 2,000 music videos will be made available at a cost of $1.99 apiece. You can download iTunes 6.0 starting today. Oh, and one more thing … It’s not only music videos you can buy. No, Apple’s set up to allow you to purchase TV shows for $1.99 apiece. Get Desperate Housewives or four other ABC shows premiering on iTunes at two bucks an ep. Videos are native QVGA resolution.

Considering iTunes 5.0 is merely a month old, this is a quick leap new version. Downloaded iTunes 6.0 with video on the Mac and will have more on that later at my Mac blog most likely. Will check out the Windows version later as well.

Note: You’ll need version 7.0.3 of Quicktime to play videos inside iTunes, so might want to upgrade Quicktime as well.

Did this post make you go hmm?
