Apple today released a 'new' version of the classic iPod:

The new 20 & 60 GB models ($299 / $399) boast the same features as the previous 30/60GB iPod Photo models, albeit at a lower pricepoint. So they all now have a colour screen and are compatible with the Camera connector.

The U2 iPod also now features a colour display.

New is the mentioned 'Podcast Support' which is probably an additional menu for your podcasts to live in.
This is also available as a feature for older iPods via the new iPod software update.
iPod updater

This would seem to pave the road for a new higher pricepoint iPod, possibly with video capability, possibly to be announced along with an iTunes enabled phone on the 7.7.

I want a color mini, not to view photos on but those color screens are just easier to read.

There also appears to be a small price drop for the 1gb shuffle

I just figured this out from the apple site. My sister got an ipod 2 days ago. First we went to walmart and they had the old 20 gb model (for $300). So I told my sister to go to the apple store. Long story short. She got the newer color screen(20gb)
