New iPods on the Horizon

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the still-waiting-for-video dept.

RemovableBait writes "Apple Computer plans to introduce more iPods before the end of the year", a company executive said Tuesday. From the article: Executive Vice President Tim Cook didn't say whether the new iPods will come at a press event Apple has scheduled for Wednesday morning. But during a conference call with analysts, he suggested that the iPod Nano won't be the last new iPod of the year."

  1. That's great! by Emrikol · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I am _SO_ glad I read this! On my way to work today, I talked myself 100% into buying a nano today. I am going to hold off for a few more days to see what else might be out there.

    It would be nice if I could get like a 6GB or 8GB nano. Or even an Ipod with removable/upgradable storage.

  2. Is it just me... by ninja_assault_kitten · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    or is anyone else completely sick of hearing about iPods? Who freaking cares. Like Linux, iPods were cool until everyone knew about them.

  3. AAA batteries and Longer life by failedlogic · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If Apple wants me to buy an Ipod, two things will convince me: longer battery life and use of AAA batteries.

    10, 12 or 20 hours between charges is not acceptable for an MP3 player (w.o harddrive). Getting rid of the colour screen might help on the Nano. I've had 2 flash based MP3 players, all last 30 to 40 hours on one AAA or AA battery. The mini-Disc player (for which the software blows, thanks Sony!) laster upwards of 50 hours on a AA battery.
