Video iPod Oct 12?

Petey_Alchemist writes "Apple Insider is reporting that Apple will release a video iPod on October 12th, possibly in conjunction with the announcement of Apple's fourth quarter results. From the article 'Although details are scarce, sources who claim to have seen the new iPod describe it as being similar to Apple's 60GB iPod photo player, but several millimeters thinner. The device reportedly sports a smaller click-wheel akin to that of the iPod nano's, making way for a larger, higher-resolution color display that extends further down the face of the device.' "

First you need to have good karma to get to meta-moderate and earn mod-points. Bigoted Apple Zealots like you, normally don't get good karma. Esp ones who post as Anonymous Coward.

Second, I answered this already to one of the other iPod Fanboys who thought that Apple never said that, and that the iPod was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I proved that not only did they say it, but use it as marketing to promote the iPod, and that it is incorrect. {SARCASM}Of course, you may question the sources, being the Apple iPod web page, and CNet posting an article from a MP3.COM author, after all, what does Apple know about their own products, and what does anyone from MP3.COM know about the history of MP3 players? {/SARCASM}

Perhaps you just have small pockets and a bad fashion sense? It fit fine in my pockets.

iPod = I've pwned other devices

Even my shirts have pockets. I have jackets made with large pockets, due to me being a time traveller and needing to hold things in them. I have pants with large pockets in them that can hold CD Players, and large tools. I learned my fashion sense from Doctor Who and other time travellers.

#1 the iPod was not the first MP3 player.

#2 The iPod was not the first MP3 player with a hard drive.

#3 The iPod was not the first MP3 player to fit in a pocket. Other MP3 players fit in pockets, but didn't always use microdrives.

#4 The iPod was not the first MP3 player with a HD to fit in a pocket (I have large pockets as part of my good fashion sense) and large and extra-large pockets count in that definition. Not teeny tiny pockets that match the manhood of some male iPod users.

#5 iTunes was not the first MP3 music store on the Internet.

#6 Adding a 1.8" HD to a MP3 player is not innovative. Not any more than adding a 1.8" HD to a laptop or desktop computer. Say if I add a 1.6" HD to a MP3 player, and called it the iRion, would you consider that to be innovative?

#7 There are less expensive, and better MP3 players than the iPod out there.

#8 There are already hand held video players out on the market. The iPod Video will be a Johnny-come-lately.

#9 There are already video stores on the Internet.

#10 Apple, the iPod, the Macintosh, and Steve Jobs are all out of fashion. The new fashion styles are Linux organizations, open source MP3 players, Linux PCs, and Linus Torvalds. "Finn is in!" Big pockets are in too.
