Video iPod Oct 12?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the rumors-flow-like-honey dept.

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.' "

    Yeah, what's up with that? How is it Music Television when there are just shows on there?

    Yeah, and I tried to buy a telegraph from AT&T the other day, but they said they don't do that anymore!

    I was thinking almost the same thing: "Why can't my iPod stream coffee from the coffeeshop?" I mean, I wouldn't have to wait in line or anything...
