Video iPods?

Oh yes!... and I thought I was going to have to wait till the end of september for the Paris Conference.

It’s here!... can’t wait…

new iPods… maybe this will be the preview, and the Paris conference would be the launch?

September is going to be one hell of a month for Apple.

Hate to spoil the speculation, but apparently the announcement is for the new iPod/Motorola MP3 phones. Apparently…

I doubt they’d premier it and then make us wait for the September conference, Apple likes to debut things and have them in the store at about the same time.

Or back ordered anyway.

Sadly this seems like the most plausable reason for Apple to have an announcement this early in the month. It makes sense since these IPod phones were supposed to be announced sometime in August. C’mon Apple announce the 5th generation IPod’s, my 2nd generation is on it’s deathbed.

I’ll be damned if they come out with the 5th Gen iPods now… I just purchased my 60GB iPod colour sometime at the end of this July! Nooo!!

probably the moto phoney thing.. bleh..

Late sept, I’m hoping for a 5th Gen ipod shipping with Bluetooth & FM tuner built in, made with same casing as ipod mini.

i could have sworn the iPhone would only be capable of holding 100 songs, not one thousand.

That’s right, because as soon as they announce the 5th gen iPod, yours will CEASE TO FUNCTION!

I don´t think it is some new iPods - there´s an money-back-offer to students right now that ends at the start of october…

Every time I hear about something like this, I find myself:

a) feeling like a dumbass for buying an ipod color with audio problems right before a new release
b) wondering whether to sell my current iPod
c) hoping like hell it’s either not true, or is some unrelated product (i.e. iPod mini or iPod phone)

I think that it is a video iPod it is long over due if Apple wants to stay on top of the MP3 player catagory and it will provide a new revenue stream for Apple from the ITMS.

Also if you are worried abot an iPod that you just purchased I don’t think that this will affect any other iPod’s as it will be a new product to the line, 80GB?  don’t expect the 20GB’s to play movies even if they could, Apple will have to get some premium $$ for this iPod to pay for the R&D.

Let’s hope it’s not JUST the ROKR phone

My bet is this will be something very new and unexpected—like “1000 odors in your pocket.” Right now I have 3 or 4 at most.

(And if new iPods show up—nobody should feel bad about buying a technology product mere weeks/months before a new model. That’s ALWAYS going to be the case. OK, scratch that, I’ve enjoyed my iPod for a year and I will STILL feel bad if a color Mini shows up )

calm down peeps. It’s only an apple.

I’m strongly hopeing that this is Apple going to introduce a video iPod. The PMP market is seriously hotting up at the moment (Creative Zen Vision, Cowon iAudio A2, Archos AV500, iStation V43) and this would be the perfect time for Apple to enter the PMP market. I fear, however, that this is just going to be the much over-hyped iTunes phone.

That invitation really has got me guessing though. This sounds big.
