Apple shows new iPods, no phone

San Francisco (dpa) - Apple on Tuesday unveiled a new line-up of its popular Ipod digital media players Tuesday and said it was starting a movie download service, but it disappointed those who had expected the company to announce an Ipod phone.

The new Ipod line is now headed by an 80-gigabyte version that will sell for 350 dollars. Among the other new gadgets announced was a tiny new Ipod shuffle barely larger than a sugar cube, and a thinner version of the Ipod nano.

The movie download service on the company's Itunes store will debut with some 75 titles from Disney, Pixar, Touchstone and Miramax, which users will be able to download for some 13 dollars.

The movies, like iTunes music, are not available to Internet users outside the United States.

"In less than one year we've grown from offering just five TV shows to offering over 220 TV shows, and we hope to do the same with movies," chief executive Steve Jobs said in a statement. "Itunes is selling over 1 million videos a week, and we hope to match this with movies in less than a year."

The new products come as the Silicon Valley company faces growing challenges to its dominance of digital entertainment media, as Microsoft readies its own player Zune. Amazon.com also launched a movie download site last week, while a new company Spiralfrog is to offer free music downloads by then end of the year on an advertising supported model. bangkokpost.com
