New iPods 9/12?
The five-year anniversary of the iPod is fast approaching (Oct. 23rd) and it seems that new models are imminent. In recent days the Mac rumor community has reached consensus that September 12th will bring us the following:
- 2nd generation iPod Nanos, with increased capacities and possibly more colors.
- Upgraded 5g iPods w/videos (I'm hoping for bigger capacities, like 80 or 100gb)
- Movie sales through the ITMS (14.99 for new, 9.99 for older titles)
- 23" iMac
Hopefully a new version of iTunes, too, with more power-user playlist management features Like the ability to use sql to write really complex smart playlists (dream on, sigh.)
Update: AppleInsider is predicting that the "one more thing" surprise at the 9/12 event will be a video streaming device, an Airport Express for video. If so, sweet-I'd buy one of those in a second, as long as it worked with my current hardware-I wouldn't want to have to buy a new Mac Mini just to use it.
