Well it has been nearly a year since the last new iPod was announced, and if the rumour mill is to believed, the Apple press conference on September 12 will launch the new product range to fill Santa’s sacks this holiday season.
Google “ipod rumors” (yes unfortunately the american spelling reaps the most rewards) and you will find suggestions of all or any of the following:
- Upgraded iPod Videos (40gb and 80gb respectively)
- A new iPod with a full-body screen and virtual click wheel used with touch-sensitive screen
- A new iPod nano with metallic body a la the mini, in many colours and (maybe) video capability with 8gb flash memory
- The iChat Mobile, a mobile phone that doubles as a nano
If you read the various sites, it seems that 1 and 3 are the most likely tomorrow, with 2 and 4 definitely in the pipeline, but it maybe a little too soon for them. We shall see. Which ones will persuade me to upgrade from my 2g 20gb iPod? Possibly all of them, maybe none, i’ll let you know on tuesday…
