New iPod: games and… well, games.

The regular iPod must feel like the neglected middle brother of the iPod family this week. Apple updated the display to have be 60% brighter, they've improved the interface with some welcome changes to help navigate large music libraries, and the biggest change is that it now supports downloadable games. For $5 you can purchase and download games from the iTunes Store. I never play the games that come free on iPods so I'm not too impressed. Oh, and the 60GB model is replaced by an 80GB model.

The 30GB model now runs $249 and the new 80GB model will drain $349 out of your bank account. Both are available now from the Apple Store.

Perhaps the lack of updated features will only fuel the rumors of an impending "true" widescreen video iPod that everyone wants to see Apple make. Me, I'm still waiting for the iPod with wearable video display.
