Apple overhauled the iPod line in September, and now there are four different models: shuffle, nano, classic, and touch - not to mention the iPhone. Because of the breadth of the iPod line, we now have four iPod price trackers, one for classic iPods, one for the iPod touch, one for the nano, and one for the shuffle.

The iPod classic retains the traditional iPod size and format, but it's thinner than ever. It's also the only iPod model with a hard drive - and this time around, you can go as big as 160 GB! The iPod classic has an improved navigation system and uses Cover Flow.

iPods aren't just for music, photos, and video, they're also a great way to backup and transport files between computers.

Apple released a helpful guide, Identifying Different iPod Models, and we've also produced Low End iPod's iPod Guide. In brief:

1G iPods (2001/02) have a scroll wheel that physically turns with buttons surrounding the wheel and a FireWire port up top.
2G iPods (2002) have a touch wheel and a FireWire port up top.
3G iPods (2003/04) have a touch wheel, four buttons, and a dock connector.
4G iPods (2004) have a click wheel and a dock connector.

4G iPods with color displays are listed as color or photo. 5G and 5.5G iPods are video iPods, and they are not compatible with iTunes Movie Rentals. The iPod classic is compatible with rented movies and is the first full-sized iPod to have have a name other than plain old "iPod".
