The speculation can thankfully come to an end. For now. Steve Jobs pulled out the usual stops at the California Theatre in San Jose today to announce the birth of a video-capable iPod. The device looks remarkably similar to existing iPods, with one small difference: the screen is now wider. The device still sits upright in your hand, albeit it it is somewhat wider. But don't let its girth fool you, because it's quite thin on the depth side. More on that in a second.
The device sports a 2.5' TFT display at 320x240 and 260,000 colors, with support for H.264 video. It also has TV-out in the forum of mini-jack to 3 RCA composite cables.
There will be two models, 30GB and 60GB, priced at $299 and $399 respectively. The Steve says that the 30GB model can hold 75 hours of video. The 30GB model is 31% thinner than the existing 20GB model, while the 60GB is 12% thinner.
