New Apple iPod with Photo Capabilities
artlu was the first of many to submit: "I was just watching my Dow Jones streaming news wire, and I saw that Apple is releasing a new iPod that will have photo captabilities. The news stated that the new iPod will be able to hold 25,000 photos as well as your traditional iPod functionality." Apple's got a page up about the iPod Photo and of course a press release.
An iPod with picture capabilties: I dub thee The iPorn
Trolling is a art,
If so, please visit http://store.apple.com/ ... please?
Now, when do we get Linux on it?
No, it meows when you turn it on then it scratches your face off if you handle it too roughly and manage to ding its hard disk.
I think the "shit all over the carpet" feature is for the next generation.
Advertised 15 hour battery life
65k-color screen
220 x 176 pixel resolution
Same click wheel as previous generation
Still only a single click wheel? What a joke - they'll never be able to compete with Windows until they add a second one.
When you have nothing left to burn you must set yourself on fire
Will you also have to store receipts from the CD that you bought and ripped into your iPod ? Remember, Ballmer sez that iPod users are all thieves... Or I think it will be a good place to store those Ballmer inspired monkeyboy vid clips. This one is the best of the bunch: bPod
iCaramba!
Not to mention $600 (and $500 for that matter) is really reaching, considering we are just talking about music and pictures.
Sheesh!
We've been complaining about Apple not having a sub-grand machine, and now it's too much? Come on! It's got Firewire and USB 2.0, a generous 220x176 built-in display (with AV-out if a 2" screen is too small for you whiners), and comes with real games (my Ti PB can't touch this)! Plus, it's portable! Plug in a keyboard, mouse, and your 37" TV and you've got one mean machine.
Now we just need that Doom 3 port and we're set. I don't think Brick will hold my attention all that long...
Look, I'm whining again already. Sheesh...
... Until I find out if it will play my photos in Ogg Vorbis. Whatever that is.
my password is private, but unchanged.
I checked out the site you linked, and this "Archos" thing you are talking about is NOT MADE BY APPLE! Why would I buy something not made by Apple? Apple is what al my friends are buying and that is what I will buy too. Idiot.
If you're using a piece of electronics for "sex appeal" you have something seriously wrong with you. With your logic, carrying around one of these curvaceous things around should get you laid instantly.
And it doesn't play Ogg Vorbis yet? You've got to be kidding me.
That's the only thing I've been waiting for to pick one of these up...
Perhaps Apple will be opening another store soon -- for adults only!
I can't! I'm still thinking different!
How do you ruin a black iPod?
Answer: Make it look like a cat walking away.
But you keep these earphone for a long time, as opposed to throwing them out when the battery wears down.
KIDDING! I'm just kidding!
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
I live in NYC too and I agree with the OP; iPods are a dime a dozen around here.
Wow. I've got to get into New York. I can't find an iPod for under $100 anywhere around here...
I hereby place the above post in the public domain.
