The new iPod
Alzapiedi
16-08-2006
There is a new Ipod in the making supposedly, which can hold songs, images, videos, movies etc like the ipod video but the new ipod is a screen which fills up the whole Ipod as in the same shape as the ipod video, which is a touch screen aswell.

Does anyone know any more information? Like is it being made or when its being made or when it even is on sale.

No one knows.

Apple never release any form of information prior to release.

Is this the 'do-pod' I heard tell of last week, which is a mobile phone as well?

The only time we will ever know for sure is when Apple announce that it's on sale.

The full screen video iPod rumour has been doing the rounds for a while. There are a few mock ups of it floating around the web. No offical word from Apple yet though.

There is also supposed to be an Apple phone due for imminent release.

So these are two different projects?

I believe so yes. Full screen video iPod and 'iPhone' are 2 different products.

It also looks like there's a revamp on the Nano coming (which is no great surprise as the whole iPod line is due a bit of an overhaul soon.)

I'd liked to see an ipod with a bit more storage space maybe 80gb or 100gb
iDan

well, drives of that capacity are available, so i expect they'll be in the new iPods.

I'm not sure this will work - for me, one of the main iPod functions I like is the wheel in my pocket - I can alter the volume, skip songs, pause, and even turn it off without it leaving my pocket. If it's a touch-responsive screen, I think that will be much harder, and you'll probably have to take it out of your pocket.

Rumours are they might be adding voice commands to an upcoming design, so you may not have to even touch the unit.

I really don't see the point of having iPods playing videos. The screen is tiny for starters. The next time I get an MP3 player I'll stick with one which has good capacity and just plays music well, rather than costs a packet and tries to do everything.

Fake, as the video shows....

Apple *NEVER* get caught out on product releases, keep watching the rumours.

Yep, it's a pretty well know fake. Looks cool though

Rumours are the new nano will go the titanium look like the Mac pro after all the hassle they got with people complaining about scratching on the black nano. As Telly_Man pointed out though, it's rare they get caught out though, so who knows!

You'd look cool on the tube saying "Ipod Play!" to your pocket lol. Plus Apple's speech recognition has never been the best, my Macbook is ropey at the best of times.

The IPod video hasn't even been out a year yet either, they do churn them out at a rate!

Is it worth buying one now for Xmas?

Or will it be out before?

No one knows for sure, but, if you're thinking of buying one now, a new one is always going to be just around the corner....
