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.

ipod photo does not play movies. It only works with photos.
Q.
Are you having trouble reading? I didn't say it played movies (yet). I said THINK movies. And I also said look at the last paragraph of this post.
I've used them a couple of times- they hurt my ears. Painfully so. The only headphones I've found that I like are an old pair of Sony behind-the-heads with the prongs that sit between the ear and the head ripped off (I wear glasses, thank you).
The Apple iPod earbuds, regardless of their quality, absolutely SCREAM "MUG MY RICH ASS!" in large friendly letters.
But as far as I know, the rest of the insert, the back cover, and the lyrics are not available digitally from a reliable source.
I have a hard time believing that Apple would have trouble getting cd booklets in a digitized form from the record companies if they believed they could sell them. And at that, I would be willing to bet that it would be a cheap proposition for Apple. The record companies already have the cd booklets in some digitized form, so it would simply be a matter of a little editing/conversion work to get them into something Apple could use. And if Apple can convince the record companies that there is money to be made by making those booklets available, I just don't see the record companies putting up any fight now that they've seen the kind of success Apple has produced with the iTMS.
