More Rumblings on Apple Video iPod

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the only-a-matter-of-time dept.

Chris Holland writes "Beyond the WSJ Story, Om Malik gives us inside information obtained by Business 2.0 Magazine about the Apple Video iPod. 'Steve Jobs has spoken with Disney President and soon-to-be CEO Bob Iger about ways to license various Disney content for a video iPod, according to an internal Disney email I have obtained. That could include anything from clips from ESPN and ABC News to short cartoons.' "

    So after the video iPod has been out awhile will Steve announce an ultra portable version without a screen?

    The comment has already been made. Let's move it along people. Nothing to see here.

    "Especially when MTV and VH1 already pump out the same drek day in, day out." The only way the video iPod could compete with MTV in its field would be if it was capable of storing and playing a 48-hour "Road Rules" marathon.

    Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.

    A type of content which has a too narrow appeal of the same techno hipster show-offs who insist they keep their iPod mini's in their hands so they can show it off to the world.

    I keep my mini out because I look like I'm reaching for my twigs and berries through my pocket while I'm fumbling for the next track button.

    For me, while not the techno hipster, its mostly just to avoid an indecent exposure rap

    Isn't there a "Too much informative" mod?

    Phew. The *great* thing about a video iPod is that I'll no longer have to be in the bathroom trying to watch pr0n and balancing a huge laptop with one hand!

    Actually, since Apple switched to Intel chips, basically, any crazy rumor anyone told me about Apple now, I'm likely to believe.

    For instance, you could tell me that Steve Ballmer inserted a brain parasite into Steve Jobs' ass, and now Steve Jobs is Microsoft's puppet, and Apple will be building Palladium support into OS X, I would believe it.

    Never in a million years did I once think Apple would actually switch to x86 chips. I mean - I thought that MAYBE they'd pursue a dual-platform strategy: x86 for iMacs, laptops, and Minis, PPC for servers and high-end workstations. Never thought they'd dump PPC entirely. Just too surreal for me.

    Dear PinkX;

    Album rock is dead. Time to move on.

    Sincerely,
    Apple

    I vote that we stop giving free hype fuel for the apple hype machine.

    I agree. Let's get back to real stuff like Longhorn, an easy to use Linux GUI, and all that SCO code in the Linux kernal!
