Harry Potter iPod with crest engraved on back and entire Hary Potter audiobook set for $548. Picture: Apple's website.

iTunes 5 with new user interface. "Super shuffle" mode, songs can be made to repeat only after all songs have been played at least once. Download now.

Motorola ROKR phone with 100 song capacity; See Cingular store link and Apple. Very underwhelming, the Nokia N91 is still preferable for these reasons.

iPod nano replaces iPod mini. See official website here.

Compared to the iPod mini, the iPod nano is half the thickness and 62 percent smaller by volume. Dimensions: 3.5" x 1.6" x 0.27" and 42 grams. 1.5" colour display. Uses dock connector. USB 2.0 only, no firewire. 14-hour battery. Ships today in 2GB and 4GB configurations for US$199 and $249 respectively.
Accessories: $39 lanyard with built-in headphones, color-coordinated armbands for $29 each, and "nanotubes" -- green, purple, blue and pink slipcases, sold in boxes of five, for $29 each. These slipcases mean that third party clear case vendors are out of luck. Comes in signature iPod white, and also in black. The black one looks amazing.

(all prices USD - pssst. Creative, you're screwed.)

iPod your Car: A host of top automakers offer elegant solutions for both new cars and prior-year models. Or choose iPod integration options from leading car stereo accessory manufacturers and outfit any car to play well with iPod. - Very sweet.
