New Video iPod Revealed?

[MacRumors]

http://www.macrumors.com/images/macrumorsthreadlogo.gif (http://www.macrumors.com)

Still over 30 minutes from Apple's media event, ApplexNet.com has posted (http://applexnet.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1622) what appear to be actual photos of the new iPod to be released today.

The new iPod was somewhat revealed (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2005/10/20051012113331.shtml) in poster ads published just an hour ago. The new iPod appears to have a wider screen and form factor than previous iPods.

The new iPod in the photo matches the artists renditions from the ads. It has a wider screen and the one in the pictures appears to be have a 30GB capacity.

Photo of new iPod is mirrored: New iPod (widerscreen) (http://www.macrumors.com/downloads/5G_ipod.jpg).

[crees!]

That is so NOT widescreen. Wider, yes but not widescreen.

[angelneo]

This is the first time I saw a chinese iPod... looks weird to me.

[tabascoishot]

holler!

[vouder17]

Nothing special in my opinion. It just looks like a fatter thinner iPod...meh.
I want PB's!!!!

[anastasis]

meh, I will pass

[wordmunger]

Photo of new iPod is mirrored: New iPod (widescreen) (http://www.macrumors.com/downloads/5G_ipod.jpg).
Boy. That's not pretty. Some of the fakes were much better looking.

[SiliconAddict]

Nothing special in my opinion. It just looks like a fatter thinner iPod...meh.
I want PB's!!!!


Then wait until 2006.

[Aaon]

Does the click wheel look oddly small to anyone else?

[_bnkr612]

Typical.

[anastasis]

Does the click wheel look oddly small to anyone else?

Same size.. the acutal ipod is wider.

[Detlev]

Nothing special in my opinion. It just looks like a fatter thinner iPod...meh.
I want PB's!!!!
Ditto that! We need real updates in real hardware. iPod makes iBored

[bellis1]

and what will be waiting for me when I return?

[Bubbasteve]

That looks alot like the nano just wider ... i say its fake

[GroundLoop]

I wonder what the standard resolution is ...640x480?

Hickman

[fklehman]

I must just be a dweeb, but I can't tell if the new iPod in the picture is actually wider than the current iPod, or if the larger screen is merely creating the illusion of wideness. Anyone else have an opinion?

[Lacero]

There goes the bloody surprise! :mad:

How you guys post when MR is getting hammered?

[Josh396]

Then wait until 2006.
We'll be seeing new PB's today.

[Modano]

How underwhelming. I really hope there are G5 upgrades today.

[Jesus]

all of you that looks like an ipod in packaging ready to go to a store. i like it personally. The iLounge ad goes with it in size. All of you will reget your words if this is released in 1/2 and hour.


Jesus

[iAlan]

doubt you could call that a 'video' iPod. Just a slightly bigger screen. It may have video capability but it ain't no iPod video

[speleoterra]

if thats it then, yawn, Stevie you've let me down.

[starfishprime]

We'll be seeing new PB's today.
I hope so... I've been waiting way too damned long. :D

[spaceballl]

hmmm i'm intrigued. Let's see what Stevie has in a half hour for us :-)

[Mr Maui]

There goes the bloody surprise! :mad:

How you guys post when MR is getting hammered?
Luck ... it's like the slot machine. :D

[Aaon]

Same size.. the acutal ipod is wider.

I suppose thats possible. It just seems disproportinate now. Like there is a lot more wasted white space then before.

[Jesus]

Is it wrong that I want one???
I like the proportions.


Jesus

[noelister]

looks like the casing on is going to be slightly different... From that picture it looks like the metal casing will be flush with the front of the iPod....

[Mr Maui]

We'll be seeing new PB's today.
The new thinner iPod slides into a slot on the side of your new slightly thicker Powerbook. ;)

[SiliconAddict]

Boy. That's not pretty. Some of the fakes were much better looking.

Yah why is it that Apple is incapable of making some of the most innovative devices I've ever seen from people NOT in the industry. IF some high school kid can whip up some cool design that would probably sell like mad why can’t Apple. Once again Apple has gone with the same old warmed over design. 30 years from now we are still going to be stuck with the same form factor just smaller.

[BakedBeans]

sure thats real? why the hell would it be in jap/chinese seeing as apple is an american company

[Uragon]

doubt you could call that a 'video' iPod. Just a slightly bigger screen. It may have video capability but it ain't no iPod video

Ipod = music, video is just an added feature.

I like to look at it this way.

[jsw]

sure thats real? why the hell would it be in jap/chinese seeing as apple is an american company
It's made there, assuming it exists.

[Mr Maui]

I suppose thats possible. It just seems disproportinate now. Like there is a lot more wasted white space then before.
Ask Steve to add a second click wheel with other controls on it in the wasted space. :p

[Modano]

Guess what's closed! (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa)

[Yvan256]

sure thats real? why the hell would it be in jap/chinese seeing as apple is an american company

1. Their devices aren't even made in america.
2. You can set your own iPod to Japanese or Chinese via the language menu.

[bruvone]

The scroll wheel looks so tiny next to that screen. I wonder if this thing will be super thin like the nano.

[starfishprime]

The apple store is down for updates!!! New stuff in only a few min :D Im so exited its rediculous :p

[gekko513]

You've always been able to choose language on the iPods, so it's not strange that it's in chinese.

It looks a bit weird, but maybe I'll get used to it.

I'm not waiting for the new iPod, though. Bring on the new Power updates.

[kbonnel]

Guess what's closed! (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa)


schweet!!!!

Kimo

[Mr Maui]

sure thats real? why the hell would it be in jap/chinese seeing as apple is an american company
Apple sells all over the world. Chinese iPods likely do not show English as the language on them ... nor Japanese ... nor German ... nor ... you get the point.

[Mr Maui]

The apple store is down for updates!!! New stuff in only a few min :D Im so exited its rediculous :p
Store has been down for 20 minutes now. :eek:

[XCool]

I entered the serial number on the left into www.apple.com/support and was given a "No info found. Please try again." The second serial gives me a "Please enter a valid serial number."

:)

[BlizzardBomb]

If that's real, we're gonna have a tough time putting it in a pocket! :rolleyes:

[Mr Maui]

Gotta admit I could use a high resolution screen on my Powerbook. Not enough room to open all the browser windows I want to have open. :D

[gwuMACaddict]

this may force me in to buying a nano... dont want that weird looking large mp3 player

[giveup]

It looks real.
your ipods, we made them. I saw them but just cant tell you yet.

[iAlan]

If that's real, we're gonna have a tough time putting it in a pocket! :rolleyes:

Is that one of those new iPod's in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

[Mr Maui]

If that's real, we're gonna have a tough time putting it in a pocket! :rolleyes:
Apple has struck a deal with Levi Strauss for Apple branded jeans with a special PodPocket. :p

[starfishprime]

I might as well just accept it... no work is getting done anytime this next hour :D ...just gotta keep looking busy!

[echosierratwo]

I honestly would not enjoy watching ANY movies on a screen that small (2.5-2.6"?). if you took a current gen iPod and rotated it 90 degrees left or right and stretched the LCD the length of the iPod, maybe I may bite. But hey, If Steve does release a Vid iPod, i hope he's packing some impressive capabilities as well (ala ROKR. the lack of). it will be such a disappointment if apple were to release one and it does not 10 up every PVP currently available.

[Mr Maui]

I might as well just accept it... no work is getting done anytime this next hour :D ...just gotta keep looking busy!
Luckily i don't start for two hours. May even get there a bit late today. :D

[iAlan]

It looks real.
your ipods, we made them. I saw them but just cant tell you yet.

Really, well you said it looks real but can't tell us because you make them?

So you can't tell us if it looks real?

SPILL IT - IS IT REAL.......grumble grumble grumble

[Mike Teezie]

Glad I got a Nano, that thing is pretty nasty looking.

Assuming it's real of course.

[ccrandall77]

I entered the serial number on the left into www.apple.com/support and was given a "No info found. Please try again." The second serial gives me a "Please enter a valid serial number."

:)

Not surprised... my Nano's serial number gives me the same response.

[fklehman]

APPLE STORE IS DOWN. I'm gonna have to pee into my coffee cup 'cause I can't make it to the bathroom, too excited...

[paradillon]

Maybe the screen is the same size but the ipod is smaller.

[morespce54]

Same size.. the acutal ipod is wider.
And the screen is wider... so the wheel seems smaller...

[Mr Maui]

I honestly would not enjoy watching ANY movies on a screen that small (2.5-2.6"?). if you took a current gen iPod and rotated it 90 degrees left or right and stretched the LCD the length of the iPod, maybe I may bite.

As many have said so far, it will not be a Video iPod, it will be an iPod with video playback capabilities. It is not designed to watch full-length feature films on the go. That may come at a later time, but not today.

[iAlan]

APPLE STORE IS DOWN. I'm gonna have to pee into my coffee cup 'cause I can't make it to the bathroom, too excited...

JUST DON'T FORGET IF YOU DO AND TAKE A SIP :eek: (this is the throw-up smiley)

[superkatalog]

two new pictures there!

http://applexnet.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1622

but hard to get in.

[madmaxmedia]

Yah why is it that Apple is incapable of making some of the most innovative devices I've ever seen from people NOT in the industry. IF some high school kid can whip up some cool design that would probably sell like mad why can’t Apple. Once again Apple has gone with the same old warmed over design. 30 years from now we are still going to be stuck with the same form factor just smaller.

Because said warmed-over design works incredibly well, and has revolutionized the music industry. It's only thing to create a Photoshop mockup that looks cool, it's another to create something like the original iPod. We're all standing on the shoulders of giants, not the other way around.

TV out is what will distinguish this iPod from other players. The mockups with the vertically oriented screen looked cool, but the scroll wheel is too low for comfortable 1-handed operation IMO.

Trust me when I say Apple probably had way more actual prototypes than the various Photoshop mockups people have made.

[brianhut]

NO LIVE UPDATING

http://live.macobserver.com/article/2005/10/specialevent_keynote.shtml

Guess we're gonna be waiting

[mattyshack]

If this is it, lets hope they made the drive up to 80 gigs, with blue tooth capabilities

[Mr Maui]

Only about a minute left till we begin to become thrilled as all heck, or disappointed to the max. Some will be thrilled with whatever is announced and some will be disappointed with whatever is announced, but at least Apple is announcing SOMETHING. Keep it up Apple ... eventually you'll announce PB updates. :D

[starfishprime]

Luckily i don't start for two hours. May even get there a bit late today. :D
Sweet... That was the plan for me today as well, but I got called in to fix stuff :mad: ...crappy peecees :p

[fklehman]

Looks like ThinkSecret is dying, too...took me forever to get their site to respond even though they don't appear to have anything. Haven't seen MacRumors' servers on the ropes like this for awhile.

[LimeiBook86]

This looks pretty cool! I think I'll buy this one, that is if it's not too expensive :D

[XCool]

http://www.xs4all.nl/~lucasrag/pics/

i can't seem to figure out the third item from the menu...

1st = music
2nd = photos
3rd = ???
4th = extras
5th = settings
6th = shuffle?

[nagromme]

Looks real to me and I hope so: it might be wider than current iPods (not sure) but I love the bigger screen and (apparently) thinner body. Video questions aside, it's a nice evolution. Who would vote negative? The market wouldn't have gone for some massive PSP-style iPod.

Right down to the minute on the leaks, aren't we? :D

[vrabz]

(1st post) :)
I have my credit card out...not for a vPod, iPod w/ video, iPod nano, or an iPod this or iPod that. I want a flippin' PowerBook. Somebody (ie Steve) needs to throw us a bone here today or I'm not going to be switching anytime soon :cool:

[MacSA]

We are expecting new iMacs (see previous report on iMacs with iSight and Media card reader, etc)

Appleinsider

[nomad01]

Have the movie trailers always been available on the Music Store? Have I just not noticed them before?? :confused:

Not a regular Music Store user so I've probably just missed them.

[kirk26]

Ok, so we’re still having issues, but here’s what we’ve got so far. Apparently there’s a Salling Clicker replacement for the Mac—a Mac remote, as it were. It’s called FrontRow.

We also have word of a new, flatter iMac with built-in iSight.

More details to come…

[clayj]

iLounge is reporting that they are unable to post live updates due to the lack of WiFi and/or bad cellular coverage (or intentional cellular blockage) at the California Theatre.

Looks like we may have to wait until Apple's sites are updated to see what's what... :(

[ebunton]

New white iPod with video revealed!
(just read it in the ars IRC channel #macintosh)

320*240 pixel 2.5inch display 260k colours

30 and 60GB

EDIT:

also available in black

$299 and $399 respectively with over 75 hours video playback (?)

iTunes 6 released for the video iPod with 4 new features:

1. gifting (give someone a song/playlist/album)
2. customer reviews a la Amazon
3. Just For You personalised recommendations (beta)
4. video (allows for music video purchase - $1.99 for song and video or 6 pixar short films 320*240 res. - has DRM but no burning of videos)

[kirk26]

The new iMac lineup prices are as follows: $1299 US for the 1.5GHZ 17-incher, $1799 US for the 2.1GHz 20-incher.

New iPod announced! The new iPod, as speculated, features video capabilities and the wider display, but it’s still a music-first device.

The device will feature a 2.5-inch display, QVGA resolution (320 x 240), and will MPEG-4 h.264 (natch), and presumably Quicktime.

More details to come…

[rogiercreemers]

the third menu item is ??, which translates as video frequency. I deciphered it before the announcement, but hey, busy server eh :p

[nagromme]

Gotta love it if part of the big announcement is new iMacs, not the stuff everyone was expecting. (Gotta NOT love it if Enderle was one of the few who got it right :D Although he said black iMacs, not mentioning features.)

If AI's rumor is right about a new iMac and its features, this would be one very cool iMac! A nice consolation for delaying PowerBooks another week?

(And I do think black Macs are bound to come sooner or later--if not today--now that Apple knows there's demand from the nano.)

Thinner, faster, black iMac with videophone built in? Dare I dream? Wait--I don't need a new Mac... I can wait for Intel... I can wait for Intel...

Sounds like a long shot, but it would be cool.

[steven_lufc]

Live updating here:

http://www.stuffmag.co.uk/hotstuffarticle.asp?de_id=594

[nagromme]

We also have word of a new, flatter iMac with built-in iSight.
Wow, I hope so--that would be a very grand exit for the consumer G5s! Any word of black? (I'm guessing it's too soon--Apple hasn't had much time to react since seeing the demand for black nanos.)

[tom_s]

iMac, (video)iPod, Remote Control - that's alot.

[kirk26]

The new iPod will be 30% thinner than the current 20GB iPod (making it 0.44-inches thick—say wha?), and will feature a 60GB version (which should be thinner than the current 0.63-inch thick 20GB iPod), and editions of both in black.

The 20GB should go for $299, and the 60GB for $399. They’ll be shipping next week.

What’s the device named, you ask? The iPod. That’s it, just The iPod. Well spare you the Prince jokes. The iPod will have TV out.

Stevie has iTunes 6.0 up there—only about a month after introducing iTunes 5.0.

[SiliconAddict]

OMG! It looks like you can "gift" your tracks to other people. e.g AS far as I can tell you can resell them. :eek: Am I wrong on this?!?!

[nagromme]

Remote control bundled with all iMacs now? Is FrontRow a physical remote or an app? Sold separately for other Macs maybe?

iTunes 5 to 6 already? :D

Photobooth sounds silly, but still fun. Why not?

[nagromme]

OMG! I looks like you can "gift" your tracks to other people. e.g AS far as I can tell you can resell them. :eek: Am I wrong on this?!?!
I think it means you can gift directly from the STORE, not from your library. They can then download the pre-paid song.

[pubwvj]

Thinner, faster, black iMac with videophone built in? Dare I dream? Wait--I don't need a new Mac... I can wait for Intel... I can wait for Intel....

Black is good. I love my Pismo. It hides rought treatment better than the white and aluminum cases. I couldn't care less about videophone built in. I don't particularly want to look at someone or have them see me. Better battery life, a second removable hard drive for inline backup and a rugged machine are more important.

[tom_s]

Remote control bundled with all iMacs now? Is FrontRow a physical remote or an app? Sold separately for other Macs maybe?


MR's frontpage says that it's a physical device. Six buttons, no display.

you can now buy TV shows from iTUnes!!

Demoing Desperate housewives and Lost

So far deals with ABC and Disney

episodes are about the size of 5 albums

$1.99 each!

available day after the broadcast

[jlewis2k1]

nah how about charmed and will & grace!!

[xsnightclub]

photo booth is like iphoto lite.

don't bother downloading it.

20 day demo if you want to bother.

[MightyB]

nah how about charmed and will & grace!!
pRon??!!?!?!

[puckhead193]

maybe in black in won't look like crap.....
edit- what about the U2 ipod

[madmaxmedia]

Trust me when I say Apple probably had way more actual prototypes than the various Photoshop mockups people have made.

If you want something that looks 'cool', go buy a Zen whatever with glowing blue lights, but isn't nearly as easy to use (I've tried.)

[paulypants]

don't bother downloading it.

20 day demo if you want to bother.

I'm confused, the PhotoBooth in that link is by Stunt Software, not Apple.

[clayj]

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/imaging_3d/photobooth.htmlAre you sure this is the same thing? The app you linked to was released in May 2005, and is not an Apple product.

[nagromme]

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/imaging_3d/photobooth.html
Ah, I see--Photobooth isn't an Apple app, it's shareware they were demoing.

EDIT; or is capital B "PhotoBooth" from Apple? (I see no mention of that shareware taking firewire stills.)

Now... when will Firefly be available for download? :)

[mongoos150]

I can't believe there's no new PowerBooks. I've lost all faith in Apple.

[superduperjacob]

US only?

[ebunton]

well it looks like the 'one more thing' for this event was the TV downloads thru iTUnes to the iPod and watching it on the computer or tv

btw iTunes 6 is available today

dunno yet about the TV shows whether it's US only

[mongoos150]

How anticlimactic. Can we play our own video files? Avi, mp4? Sounds like mp4, yes?

[nagromme]

I can't believe there's no new PowerBooks. I've lost all faith in Apple.
Apple, or Apple marketing? The decision to include PowerBooks in today's event, vs. releasing them separately (but likely still soon) is a MARKETING choice. And not a bad one I don't think: until Intel, the PowerBooks are unlikely to get a really big update. So keep it low-key. Makes sense not to include them in this event. Keep an eye on the coming Tuesdays.

If you think this means Apple's not interested in portables, remember that portables are one of the driving reasons behind a HUGE Apple project: the Intel transition.

[ebunton]

How anticlimactic. Can we play our own video files? Avi, mp4? Sounds like mp4, yes?

Yah, can play own videos yah mp4

[MacSA]

www.macosxrumors.com said there would be updates to ALL Apple Macs by early December :)

And you never know........other stuff might have been updated when that store comes back online. :D

[puckhead193]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051012/ap_on_hi_te/apple_ipod

still don't know for sure what it looks like

[ebunton]

Live performance from Wynton Marsalis

[madmaxmedia]

Lost faith in Apple?

Can anyone actually CONFIRM that the 7448 is avaiable in quantity yet?

Can you guys not understand that Apple would love to sell you a better PowerBook, but can't until they can actually MANUFACTURE them?

You think Steve Jobs and crew are sitting around the conference table, going "Update the PowerBooks, one of our highest margin, most expensive products? NAhhhhhh....."

[starfishprime]

Well if there are no new PBs, Im totally bummed :(
I really NEED a new PB to work on... I just cant justify the purchase considering the current hardware. Argh! Why does OSX have to be sooo good... I have no choice but to wait :mad:

Show and share
Use the optional iPod A/V cable to play videos and photo slideshows with music on your TV. Or combine the new Apple Remote with an optional iPod Universal Dock to control your music, videos and slideshows from across the room.

[nagromme]

My comments:

* A full "video iPod" never made sense for most people. It's too soon (if ever) and would have been perceived as a failure.

* Adding video to the MUSIC iPods as a cool extra (one you can always just ignore) makes good sense.

* Love the bigger screen and thinner body. Even the 60 is thinner than the old 20! This plus the nano makes a great lineup. They'll sell tons.

* Playing clips from my own camera would be cool, assuming you can play any clips you want. (I assume iTunes converts video to iPod-ready form, just like with photos.)

* TV (limited selection at first) and music videos on iTunes and iPods? No revolution for me, but a great step to take. A foothold in new areas, and a fun option for users to have. I might even buy one or two.... and paying double to get video vs. just the song doesn't bother me at all. (Especially if the music is full quality and can be shuffled with my music library like any other song? That would be welcome.)

* New iMacs--with built-in camera and remote control? How cool is that? (Now when will Apple make them in black?) iMacs are the fun (and unexpected) part of today, for me. (Did I mention selling tons?)

* The simplicity of an iMac contrasted with a "media center" PC is humorous, even if they aren't really parallel products.

* New PowerMacs and PowerBooks? The wait continues... hang in there. Next week?

[kirk26]

Too bad. I was hoping for some good updates.

[mongoos150]

Apple site is up.

[kirk26]

Powerbooks next Tuesday? :p

[Josh]

Video iPods, new iMacs, and iTunes 6.

Pretty sweet!

[paulypants]

iMac with PCI-Express woohoo!! X600 Pro or XT. About time, guess some signs of Intel patrnership seeping through...

[nomad01]

BBC News 24 have a news item coming up... just showing a bit of the advert for it.

Looks nice. :)

[ZenNerd]

Anyone else look in the tech specs? Looks like no firewire on the new Video iPods just like the Nanos. And that to me sucks, because regardless of whether USB2 is supposed to be able to hit 480 and firewire 400. Firewire still seems way faster to me. That's very disappointing about something that otherwise would have me pretty excited.

[Whyren]

Seriously, we'll probably just have an Apple update every other week until Christmas. How would that be for hyping up holiday shopping?

So, iTunes 5 is basically a joke? I guess that they needed an excuse to get to iTunes 6 for 2006, so the inclusion of buying videos worked for them. Still...

[nagromme]

Anyone else look in the tech specs? Looks like no firewire on the new Video iPods just like the Nanos.

That's too bad, I don't see FW as an option on the Specs page. I can see it's not important to MOST iPod buyers, but on a large-capacity iPod it makes sense. And for me: I need to be able to boot from my iPod, which I don't think USB allows (correct me if I'm wrong). Guess I did well to get the older 60 :)

[mi5moav]

Hopefully we'll see a shiny new black ipod shuffle the death of the U2 ipod and the ability to download last weeks network tv programs. I don't want to ever have to use my Tivo or VCR again. .99 - 1.99 for a network download seems about right. Lost, Desperate Housewifes,Alias...Night Stalker. Hopefully the video enabled

I really don't understand where the black ipod shuffle is and the $19.99 custom color ipod options???

[Kid Red]

Wow, I'm stunned :eek:

I didn't think they would release a tiny video iPod to watch music videos!?!? Oh well, they replace the current top photo iPods so I guess they will sell. Not sure the music video sales however.

Makes sence why the ads didn't focus on videos as this isn't a true video iPod in a PVP sense.
