Apple iPod Hi-Fi Photos, First Looks

iLounge posts their first look at the Apple iPod Hi-Fi which was released on February 28th 2006.

The first look hosts a number of photos of the new device, including unboxing photos, and size comparisons with other popular units:

Audio quality? We dont ever like to comment on this until weve done straight comparisons, but it was evident in each of Apples four demo rooms that the Hi-Fi is capable of revealing flaws in compressed audio - good for audiophiles, perhaps less so for average people or those accustomed to iTunes Music Store downloads.

Macworld provided their first impressions of the iPod Hi-Fi at the media event based on the demo rooms shown at the media event, and also received mixed reviews.

As previously mentioned, Inside Mac TV (iTunes) Video Podcast offers a relatively complete video of the introduction of the iPod Hi-Fi.
