I guess that can be your "thesis" like sentence. If you haven't already, expand your information on the new additions of these new iPod products. Maybe you can include how people have reacted when the news came out, or the reviews from people who have them if possible. Hope I helped Smile

That is just the first sentence. I'm going to expand on it in the subsequent paragraphs.
