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. iPods keep gettin worse! by SenorCitizen · · Score: 1, Troll
    They are definitely going for the worse. There's still no gapless playback for any format, let alone mp3, but the newest generation can't even play Lame encoded VBR mp3's correctly! Apparently it's due to the aggressive power saving feature that can't keep up with the wild fluctuations in bitrate, causing stutters on some material.

    I would strongly advise against buying an iPod now, but instead to wait and see if this cardinal bug will be fixed or not.
