Introduced in October 2004 alongside the iBook (FireWire) and several subsequent iBook models), which could be attached to a TV and used for photo slideshows. In addition, the Dock that shipped with the iPod photo included an s-video output. Photos were transfered to the iPod photo using iPhoto on Macs and by synching with a particular folder on PCs. The iPod photo was available with either a 40 or 60 GB hard drive, for $499 and $599, respectively.

In February 2005, Apple replaced the 40 GB model with a slimmer 30 GB model, and lowered the prices of the two models to $349 and $449. The high end model no longer shipped with a dock.
