Rumors: iTunes update coming soon?

Macintouch.com reader Rex Raymond writes in with the possibility of an iTunes update coming soon.

“I just filled out the iPod repair form on the Apple website (my scrollwheel is sticking/dragging), and the form asks which version of iTunes I’m using. The options were for 2.0, 2.1 or Other. Looks like a new version of iTunes is coming, maybe at MacWorld SF.”

Rumors: Apple’s iWalk
[Updated: 11:34 AM PST]

We hate to burst your bubble, but compelling arguments at Appleturns.com makes the iWalk out to be another hoax. It was very well done, but one thing we noticed, is how much the iWalk’s jog wheel looks like the top of the iBook power adapter plug. If anything, the iWalk PDA would be sporting the latest scroll wheel ala iPod, or something similar.

Spymac.com has evidence of Apples next digital hub device. Is this what all the hype appearing on Apple.com is about? The photos and videos appearing on Spymac.com is very convincing. We have even gone as far as securing domain names…one of them being iWalklounge.com. If it is real, we just might build a web site for it.

Forums: An iPod Horror Story with a Happy Ending

iLounger, “Professor X” posts an incredible story about snow, a buck (the deer kind) and his iPod:

Here’s my story, sad but true… While in North Dakota for Christmas break my girlfriend and I were out driving enjoying tunes on my iPod (a little christmas present to myself) while singing along with the music (“silly love songs” covered by Tool) I looked away from the road and looked up to see a 6 point buck right in front of me. After the impact we pulled over to the side of the road and waited in the van of the people in front of us for the cops to arrive.
