This was a little sooner than I expected. This may mean that Apple has something more in store for the Christmas season. They're merging the photo line into the standard player line, and calling it the iPod color. Also, support for podcasts is being added.
Apple® today announced that the iPod® and iPod photo lines are merging, creating a single line of white iPods that all feature color displays with the ability to view album artwork, photos and play slideshows in stunning color. The simplified iPod lineup features a 20GB model, holding up to 5,000 songs priced at just $299 and a 60GB model, holding up to 15,000 songs priced at $399. Also starting today, iPods will offer an easy to use Podcast menu, including bookmarking within a Podcast and the ability to display Podcast artwork in color.
I am a little disappointed to not see a 40 GB model at a more affordable price point. I think this just leaves them open for another company to fill the midsize gap. Also, take a look at CNET's commentary on this.
