Apple Replaces B/W White iPods with Color Screens

Posted by timothy on from the bring-on-the-speculation dept.

FlameboyC11 writes "A quick check at the Apple online store shows no sign of the black-and-white screened 'white' iPods. The iPod Photo has replaced them in the 20GB and 60GB categories, but is keeping the same price scale ($300 for low end and $400 for high end). This seems like such a quick switch to color, perhaps a video player is coming faster than we think?"

    I think Apple should make an iPod video. Even if the market isn't huge. PSP video discs are surprising everyone's wildest expectations. The best argument against it, IMO is the copyright issues, to get the content people want on such a device, generally requires software that is against the copy protection circumvention laws.

    And yes, I don't think the current tiny screen would work well, which I'd suggest using the 320x480 screens used on some Palms, T5, and the Tapwave, because those screens are beautiful and don't require a needlessly large device package.
