Apple Computer on Monday updated its IPod product line to include new 20GB and 40GB models--the high-end model can now hold up to 10,000 songs.

The IPod line has been refreshed to include a new, higher-capacity high-end model. The line now includes a 10GB model for $299, a new 20GB model for $399, and a new 40GB model for $499.

The 20GB and 40GB models replace the 15GB and 30GB models previously available, for the same retail price.

Sales Stats

"The IPod is a rocket," Greg Joswiak, vice president of hardware product marketing, told MacCentral.

"The success we've had in what should be a seasonally low time has been just astounding. The IPod is the number one selling digital music player and we just keep making it better, staying further and further ahead of our competition."

Outside of the higher capacities of the midrange and high-end models, the IPod feature set remains the same. The new models feature a dock connector to attach the IPod to a Mac or PC, a "no moving parts" navigation wheel, backlit buttons, and a rechargeable lithium ion battery that offers up to 8 hours of continuous music.
