`Apple Unveils New iPods
`
`5GB, 10GB and 20GB Versions for Mac & Windows
`
`MACWORLD EXPO, NEW YORK—]u|y I7, 2002—App|e® today extended its lead in the portable digital music market with the
`introduction of the next generation iPod"", available in three configurations: a 5GB model that now starts at just $299 (US); a
`10GB model that is 10 percent thinnerforjust $399 (US); and a new 20GB model that can hold 4,000 songs forjust $499 (US).
`Both the 10GB and the 20GB models feature the industry’s first solid —state touch wheel for incredible precision, accuracy and
`durability, and include a new Apple carrying case and wired remote. The new iPods will be available for the first time to both
`Mac® and Windows customers.
`
`“The award—winning iPod now comes in models that are more -affordable, thinnerand hold up to 4,000 songs in your pocket,"
`said Steve Jobs, Ap'p'le"s CEO. “But the biggest news is that we‘re bringing the iPod to Windows users, so they can join this
`amazing portable digital music revolution."
`
`iPod is the only portable digital music player with Auto-sync, an innovative feature that automatically downloads an entire
`digital music library into an iPod and keeps it up—to—date whenever the iPod is plugged back into a Mac. With iPod’s built—in
`FireWire@ port, a massive 4,000 song library can be downloaded in just over 30 minutes verses the more than 13 hours it
`would take to transfer 4,000 songs with USB‘—based devices. The iPod’s battery provides up to lo hours of continuous music
`and recharges automatically whenever iPod is connected, using power supplied overthe FireWire cable.
`For Mac users, the
`new iPod will include the new iTunes“" 3, Apple's award—winning digital music software.* iTunes 3 adds dozens of new
`features including Smart Playlists that automatically and dynamically update playlists based on simple rules set by the user,
`Sound Check for consistent volu me playback and support for audio programming from Audible.com. With these new features,
`Mac users caneasily transfer audio programming and sound quality adjyustments to their iPod to use whe rever they go. Use rs
`can now sync information back to iTu nes to bookmark where they left off listening to Audible programming, or to update
`song p|a'y—counts or last—played dates for iTu nes’ Smart Playlists. iPod’s newrdigital clock adds the necessary time and date
`stamp to individual songs.
`
`For Windows use rs, the iPod now works seamlessly with MUSICMATCH Ju kebox, the number one selling music software for
`PCs. iPod is the only MP3 player to provide Windows customers with Apple's exclusive Aut_o—s,ync technology, to keep their
`iPod automatically updated every time it is plugged into their PC. Users also have the option to manually transfer individual
`songs or playlists from their MUSICMATCH library to their iPod. iPod for Windows will ship with MUSICMATCH Jukebox.
`
`iPod for Mac or Windows comes with improved headphones that offer enhanced bass response, smoother transitions and
`moreaccurate high—end sound reproduction. iPod also features ;a redesigned and more portable thin FireWire cable; 20GB and
`10GB iPod models include a built—in protective cover for the Firewire port.
