16GB iPod Nanos, 32GB iPod Touches, Lots of Colors

I can't believe some people are still thinking the orange ipod spy shot is legit. I'm the one who doctored that photo and sent it in, and after 20 something pages of people complaining/whining someone finally debunked it (thank god.)
Anyways, who cares about iPods; aren't they exclusively for 10 year olds and little girls? Hell, I haven't seen anyone with an iPod in years.

Would it be possible to have a 48GB iPod Touch? Since the iPod Touch has room for 2 flash modules, so they could have a 32GB and a 16GB module together.
Incredible! I like that, even if the selection doesn't include "rainbow."
As I expected. I see 64 GB in H1 2009. I also see the 8 GB $50 less than the 16 GB. This also means that the iPod nano and iPod touch would get closer together in price.
Probably, at $249/$299 prices.

I really hope they come out with a $400 60GB iPod touch. that might make it actually worth buying. Right now its overpriced for what it is.

The classic may just get a capacity bump / price drop and the shuffle may just get a color change. Much smaller changes than the other iPods.
Maybe something secret to be announced. But nothing like that's been rumored recently. So I have my doubts on any (mini-)tablet or other surprise/"One More Thing…" item that we don't already know of.
I'm complaining about how dull the rumours are and hoping for something good. Isn't that the point?
Hate the muted colors. Glad their bringing orange back. Really a disappointment they are keeping a touch at 8GB. They should start at 16GB.
Amen!
Finally someone sensible around here
Talk about the emperors new clothes syndrome. "I can't sleep because a former IT company, nowadays more of a mp3 player maker decides to add a few new colors to the case of their mp3 player."
It's not like they are bringing out any new exiting products according to the rumors. No rocket packages that let's you fly or zero emission cars costing peanuts. Even a $500 Macbook would be considered existing.
A new color for the iPod?????? Talk about luxury problems.
But in a few hours we'll know if it's just hot air or actually something new that Apple will be showing. Talk about manpulating the masses and everyone is happy being a puppet of Jobs.

I hope they release the 2.1 firmware update with the rumored "secret" features.
The iPod Touch is probably getting GPS but there will need to be some way of predownloading maps so that you can actually view a route on the go. Otherwise, you would be stuck with no way to refresh the map without wifi.

and one more thing....purple iPods.....
Come on people. I seriously doubt Steve Jobs is showing up to show us colored iPods. Total diversion. Yeah, there will be purple ipods, but to think Apple would stage an event like to this just to show off some new colors.....doubt it.
Of course there's the theory this event is staged to show the world a "healthy" Steve. Bunk. If Steve wants to prove anything to anyone, he'll do it by walking into their office.
There may not be a big product release today, but there will be some kind of transitional revelation. It's all been discussed. We'll see.
Patent applications galore. Brilliant People and brilliant leadership (with a few miscues along the way). Apple is fine and today will bring at least of hint of what's under the tip of the iPhone.

Unless the iPod Touch gets a size boost up to 48 GB or 64 GB, there is nothing hardwarewise out today that I am interested in.
Obviously, the new software, whatever it is, will be nice to have.

People seem to be ignoring the fact that the iPod nano is being completely changed, in, not only colour, but in shape, size, and storage capacity.
The iPod touch is getting a more tapered shape, with possibly external volume control buttons.
Not to mention iPhone OS 2.1 firmware.
It's not just about colours...
Agree - unless there's the 'one more thing' to show, this is going to be a generic presentation. Orange is sweet though
They really need to do something about the ipod/itunes and syncing to your computer....
We had all our songs on my wife's desktop. when her computer died, I moved all my songs to my macbook (her music taste is a little different than mine).
Since I switched her from an HP desktop to a mac mini, and her music collection is much smaller (she maybe has 50-75 CD's; where as I have over 5,000 individually downloaded songs, songs from cassettes, songs from Cd's that since got trashed, preaching and Bible study internet streams, etc).... I was hoping just to take her songs from her ipod nano and move them to her itunes.
NOT GONNA HAPPEN... I received a pop-up that stated "You cannot update a windows formatted ipod from a mac". I was like what the heck.... Then it asked me if I wanted to reset it back to factory defaults. Since she is leaving for a trip tomorrow, I said no for now. But the problem is, now she won't be able to have her newest selections with her; and I am going to have to re-rip all her CD's since her original Itune collection was lost on the dead computer.
Looks like I am gonna have the same problem as I am a switcher. My 2004 antique ipod is going to have to be reformatted. I could see mine having an issue because it is sold old, but her's? which is only a couple of years old?
c'mon........ I mean if my mother-in-law's cheap $100 no-name mp3 player she won at a company banquet lets me drag songs from her player to itunes and then from itunes to her player on (both mac and windows) with no problems - then why can't ipod.
Oh, for those wondering why I call mine an antique - it is almost 5 years old, in the shape of the classic, has a monochrome screen, can' play videos, etc.....
Maybe we need an upgrade.....

As per my post elsewhere, I think we will see the new thin Nano.
Something to add though, semi-translucent click wheel, with the symbols as OLED screens. This will enable the Nano to be rotated and the symbols change to the correct orientation. That'll be cool.

I might pick up an orange or black iPod nano to compliment my iPhone 3G
Thank you for sharing your consumptive preferences with us. Great that buying more Apple gear is front and centre of your conscience.
Oh noble shopper, hope this interim gear will 'tide you over'...
Sorry mate, not to pick on you, it's just all, well, um, all underwhelming.
Don't we all own an iPod? Don't they work alright now? Who gives a rat's ass if it's bright orange or tall!
I mean if Apple is not making stuff that improves our lives or the lives of someone, somewhere, than what is the point?? Otherwise, it's just more coloured baubles bouncing in front of our lower selves, 'gimme gimme'!
Well, stuff that, give us something we really need, not yesterdays good idea in a new coat.
Go on Apple. Make my life.
