Apple Computer has created a fourth-generation iPod that offers a slimmer case, click-wheel navigation and significantly improved battery life.
According to Newsweek magazine, the two new models will offer greater capacity for the same price as the current lineup. A 20GB iPod will sell for $299, while the top-of-the-line 40GB model will retail for $399. Currently, Apple sells a 15GB version for $299, a 20GB version for $399 and a 40GB model for $499.
Newsweek did not say when the new iPods would be available, and an Apple representative was not available for comment. The new iPods were not featured on Apple's Web site Sunday morning.
The details were revealed as part of a cover story on the iPod and its impact. The cover shows Apple CEO Steve Jobs holding one of the new, still-white models. In January 2002, the new iMac was featured on the cover of Time.
The battery in the new iPod is said to offer 12 hours of battery life, up from an 8-hour rating for the current models. According to Newsweek, the jump comes from better power-management features, rather than a higher-capacity battery. The click-wheel interface is similar to the one Apple introduced in January with its iPod mini.
There are also software advances, including the ability to listen to audio books at a faster or slower rate, as well as ways to cr

Is it possible to make a great cup of coffee in your own home and not have to mess with coffee grounds? The people at Phillips and Dutch coffee roaster Douwe Egberts (Sara Lee Brands in the U.S.) think so. And they're betting that their Senseo coffee making system will be as big a hit here as it's been in Europe.
More than 5 million people around the world are enjoying their daily cuppa courtesy of their Senseo machines. I don't even want to think how many billions (2.5 billion at last count) of coffee pods they've used.
I love the ritual of making coffee. Actually, friends have joked that when I make coffee it looks as complicated as a science experiment. Sometimes they're right. Beans have to be ground just right, measured perfectly and brewed for the right amount of time in one of my very unusual coffee machines. They don't make fun of my coffee when they're drinking it, though.
Now, however, Senseo has simplified my life.
I've tried a bunch of the new, single-serve coffee makers that claim their coffee pods make great coffee. The only one that comes close to making coffee the way I like it, cup after cup, is Senseo's.
Some of the other "easy-to-use" machines produce final products that do not taste like coffee. I'm being kind. One provided each cup with two to three ounces of coffee grounds.
