    This picture of the new ipod has just been posted up on macrumors:

    http://www.macrumors.com/downloads/5G_ipod.jpg

    Looks legit to me, has a larger screen but not as large as everyone seems to be expecting.

    A friend of mine who reads chinese says that one of the options means "repeat broadcast" maybe a chinese slasdot member could conrim it.

  3. Apple/BBC on New iPods on the Horizon · · Score: 0

    I know I shouldn't bother with these rumours as we will find out soon enough, however thinksecret made a really interesting observation yesterday:

    "Apple will be hosting a media event at the BBC's headquarters in London tomorrow to coincide with the media event in California, suggesting a tie-in with that broadcasting entity."

    If you put the rumours about video ipods, dvrs, airport video etc etc together with this and the BBCs reported interest in allowing UK citizens to download BBC content from the internet, then this could be very interesting.

    "Although the UK does not have a Constitution"

    I know this is a bit pedantic, but the UK DOES have a Constitution. According to websters http://www.webster-dictionary.org/definition/const itution the definition of a Constitution is:

    The fundamental, organic law or principles of government of men, embodied in written documents, or implied in the institutions and usages of the country or society; also, a written instrument embodying such organic law, and laying down fundamental rules and principles for the conduct of affairs.

    The UK Constitution consists of various legislation and conventions such as the Magna Carta 1215, Bill of Rights 1689 and the Act of Union (with scotland) of 1800....etc

  11. Re:Price differentiation on iTunes Europe Goes Live · · Score: 1

    I just tried to purchase from the German store with my account (which is registered to the UK store). It wouldn't let me, an error message informed me that my account can only purchase music from the UK store. As the parent says, is this legal under EU law?
