Determined to keep that healthy MP3 marketshare, Apple unveiled and is selling a new iPod Photo edition for the Mac and PC.

40GBs for $499 and 60GBs for $599, sounds pretty pricey, just like the Macs are. Some things never change. But it sure sounds cool:

“iPod Photo’s menu is easier to read than ever. That’s thanks in part to the clarity of the display — it offers 220×176-pixel resolution — and in part to the new Myriad typeface. Both sizes feature a razor sharp LCD display that lets you see your photos in vivid color — 65,000 colors, to be exact. And with its built-in backlighting, you’ll be able to admire those photos indoors or out.”

“Like its famous siblings, iPod Photo sports the touch-sensitive Click Wheel. You’ll use it to navigate iPod Photo’s new photo menu scroll effortlessly through dozens of playlists, hundreds of albums, or thousand of songs.”
