Now for the REAL "Video iPod"
posted Friday, 10 February 2006
According to Think Secret:
There are a bunch of mockups of what this new iPod will look like. Here's one of my favorites (from Rainy Day Magazine):
Think Secret can confirm recent rumblings that Apple is nearing completion of a completely revamped video iPod that will shed the ubiquitous mechanical click wheel for a touch screen and will sport a 3.5-inch diagonal display.advertisementThis video iPod, which has been in development and on the table since before Apple released the 5G iPod last year with video playback, will feature a display that will occupy the entire front face of the device. Sources who have seen the device report that it features a digital click wheel, one that overlays the touch-sensitive display and appears when a finger touches it and disappears when the finger is removed.Wow, it looks like the Video iPod that we've all been waiting for may actually be coming out within the next month or two. A true widescreen aspect ratio will make this much more suited to viewing movies, and the screen expansion will be very welcome. I may have to take up a collection to upgrade because I'm sure as soon as this thing comes out, my 60GB 5G will sink in price and whatever money I get for it on eBay won't nearly enough to cover the new one.

outstanding on the newest ipod. will there eventually be an ipod museum
whereby all those early buyers may send those older ipods(perhaps even a
year old...:~)).

ooh that looks sweet as hell. I have the Archos unit and i am really not
wanting to give it up for an Apple just yet. The large screen is the
killer for me - love it to bits.
