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.' "

    I concur, apple is not stupid enough to release a video ipod and piss of all the people who just bought a nano but would have gotten a video ipod instead. Granted they are two different markets but I just got a nano as my first ipod and would most likely have prefered a video ipod if one was done well.

    Yes... since an iPod DOES play MP3s. Don't confuse it with iTunes which only lets you download in the AAS format. The fact that you didn't know this shows your bias against Apple.

    Then at least try to know something about a product before being critical of it, especially in a public forum.
