“new video nano with larger screen”

Why do people want video on a nano so much? Why would you want to watch videos on a screen that’s smaller than 2.5”? Besides, how much videos AND music can you fit on a nano even if it has 8 GB?

I really hope there will be a new ipod.
I have held back getting any ipod since my ipod mini died.
So far I have missed out, the photo, nano, and now video.
Hope my wait will pay off.

Showtime relates to movies, which means the annoucement will probably be about an iTunes movie service.
They may well introduce new iPods, but I doubt that will be the main focus of the events.

ITMovieS…movies, obviously, downloaded like tv or tunes currently….

and a revised airport that streams movies to tv from computer….so these movies are high enough res to play in HD:  the only way paying $15 for a new release is “worth it”.

(gleaned from other mac sites…makes the most sense to me)

guys… the name of the event is “It’s Showtime”, and they invited Ilounge, so obviously we’re talking here about a new iPod with expanded video capabilities or, at least, the full movie download service on iTunes…

From the event name, it seems certain that they will debut new movie downloads for iTunes, but I wouldn’t bet on anything else.  They may not even announce any iPods- although I hope they do.

Hey, when they mensioned Red Therater Curtains, they released the iPod 5G and Frontrow. If its showtime that means movies, so I guess new iMac, iMovies (for buying or renting, not iLife program), and updates to all the iPods. The nano might be replaced, but I expect a new version like the Mini.

iPod 5G Video is widescreen already.  It asks you. They might introduce true widescreen, 16:9 aspect ratio

i hear that this event may announce the introduction of a new mac mini with an up’d spec…...i guess we have a few days to wait to find out.
but obviously he main thing everyone is waiting for is the new ipod.

I really am hoping for MacMini with DVR capability. And, Apple decided not using Intel ever again.

what about a global itunes store?

I am sick of the country restrictions, it is soooo stupid ( I know it comes from the media companies)
