<p>Apple Introduces New 20GB and 40GB iPods<br />
Up to 10,000 Songs in Your Pocket</p>
<p>CUPERTINO, California-September 8, 2003-Apple today announced new 20GB and<br />
40GB models of its best-selling iPod digital music player. The new 40GB<br />
iPod holds up to 10,000 CD-quality songs (playing each song back-to-back<br />
takes a month) in a stunning enclosure that is lighter and thinner than two<br />
CDs. iPods are available in three models: a 10GB model for just $299 (US),<br />
the new 20GB model for $399 (US) and the new 40GB model for $499 (US); and<br />
offer the perfect combination of ease of use, storage capacity, audio<br />
performance and ultra-portable design.</p>
<p>"iPod is the best-selling digital music player and the 'gold standard' to<br />
which all portable music players are compared," said Steve Jobs, Apple's<br />
CEO. "The iPod and the iTunes Music Store offer music lovers an unbeatable<br />
combination that our competitors can't even come close to."</p>
<p>iPod is the only portable music player with Apple's patent pending<br />
Auto-Sync, an innovative feature that automatically downloads your entire<br />
digital music library onto iPod and keeps it up-to-date whenever the iPod<br />
is plugged into your Mac or Windows PC using FireWire or USB 2.0. The<br />
ultra-portable iPods are designed with a solid-state "no moving parts"<br />
navigation wheel and backlit buttons for precise, effortless navigation<br />
through thousands of songs; an elegant dock for easy syncing and charging<br />
with an audio line out for quick connection to a home stereo or powered<br />
speakers; an "On-The-Go" playlist so users can build a playlist right on<br />
their iPod; a customizable main menu so users can promote the features they<br />
use most often to their top level menu; and a rechargeable lithium-ion<br />
battery for more than eight hours of continuous music.</p>
<p>The iTunes Music Store has sold over ten million songs since its launch<br />
just over four months ago and is the perfect companion to the iPod. Now<br />
listeners can easily find, purchase and download their music online with<br />
one click. Music purchased from the iTunes Music Store is downloaded right<br />
into Apple's popular iTunes 4 digital music jukebox, where users can easily<br />
manage their music library, create playlists, burn custom CDs and easily<br />
download their entire music library into their iPods for on-the-go<br />
listening anywhere. The iTunes Music Store will be available to Windows<br />
users by the end of this year.</p>
<p>Pricing & Availability<br />
New iPods for Mac and Windows PCs are available today for a suggested<br />
retail price of $299 (US) for the 10GB iPod, $399 (US) for the 20GB iPod<br />
