This update of EveryMac.com features complete specs (and a handful of Q&As) on the new video camera-equipped iPod nano 5G, faster iPod touch 3G, higher capacity iPod classic, and more colorful iPod shuffle 3G. Details on the latest Apple TV configuration have been added as well.

Additionally, the "By Year", "By Processor","By Case Type", and "By Capability" specification listings have been updated and the "Ultimate Mac & iPod Comparison" has been updated too.

For those interested in saving money, site sponsor Adorama sells the new iPods -- and used ones -- free of sales tax. New iPod nano, iPod touch, iPod classic, and Apple TV models are offered with free shipping also.

If you missed it previously, be sure to see the MacOS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" Q&A, which covers 64-bit, OpenCL, and Grand Central Dispatch details, upgrade options, performance, compatibility, and more.

In case you missed one, Q&As since the last major update include:

  • What are the "pros and cons" of each of the new iPod models? Which is best for my needs?
  • What are the differences between the iPod touch 3G and the iPod touch 2G?
  • What are the differences between the iPod nano 5G models? What are the differences between these models and the iPod nano 4G models they replaced?
  • What are the differences between the iPod shuffle 3G and the earlier iPod shuffle 2G?
  • What is the difference between the iPod classic (2G) and the "original" iPod classic?
  • What are the differences between the Apple TV and the Mac mini?
