I would have to agree.
as for the multi-touch I can see that on the normal iPods but what changes does anyone see for the nano? just larger ?
Why not multi touch? I don't see how Apple couldn't. They introduce this great and cool technology on the iPhone and come up something less in the 6G iPod? I personally do believe that the next generation iPod will be kinda like an iPhone without the phone and all of the other features related to it. Apple couldn't sell new iPods after the debut of the iPhone with less than equivalent technology. A multi touch iPod where you can cycle through coverflow and scroll through menus with your finger a la iPhone is very possible and dare I say.. likely.
Depends on where you live... Where I live, fried chicken doesn't sell very fast. (Although, from your 'location' tag, you might very well live in Portland, Oregon, too.)
And, am I the only one that sees a little bit of racial profiling in the fact that the only two Popeye's Chicken locations in Portland are both on Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, in the most 'historically black' part of town? KFCs are spread all over, what is it with Popeye's? (There are a couple in the suburbs, though...)
the new iPod will be full-screen, multi-touch and it will have a camera at the back and the cool thing with the camera is it will already have a huge mirror on the back of the iPod.....and very doubtful, but i would love, is to have wi-fi!!!!! i have no idea what they could do with the nano though...?!
I hope that whatever they do to the nano, they still make it a great product to use while exercising. I'm afraid that multi-touch or what not may hinder that b/c of sweat and stuff, but either way, I'm pretty confident that whatever improvements they make I'll be happy (unless they really screw it up which is unlikely and then I can get a cheap refurbished 2G).
I think the nanos will keep the same body shape, but with a vertical widescreen for watching videos, which will warrant an upgrade to 4, 8 and 16GB capacities. I also think that there is a chance that the nano will be upgraded in September.
December's late for the Holiday Season, Likely September-October to first build hype and have it in the market for all spectrums of holiday shoppers.
Sure they can--so long as the price is well below $499/$599, and give you plenty of memory.
Pulled it out of mid air... that means it will be hot news on MacRumors front page in a few days or so. If not MR then Thinksecret or AppleInsider.
I hope they differentiate the design of the 6G from the iPhone, but make it sort of similar, just so you can tell the difference between the two.
Yeah, I think we're one of the few cities resentful that we don't have an MLB team. Although I am perfectly happy with the Beavers in PGE Park. If an MLB team came, we'd lose the nice feeling of PGE Park. (Gotta love a stadium that you can watch the game from the sidewalk through the fence without buying a ticket, and has a beer garden right on field level that is open to anyone with even a general admission ticket.)
shameless speculation
hahaha... time for some unabashed speculation. So flash-based drives and a bigger, touch-screen a-la iPhone are certainly wanted features (although their economical practicality is somewhat questionable for $250-350)
also add to the possibility pile the FM tuner that every electronics mag seems to denounce the iPod for not having. In the same ilk is an FM transmitter (iTrip, built in) for wire-free connectivity to car stereos. Bluetooth and/or wifi have been thrown around as well.
and while apple has more-or-less kept the ipod a portable music/video player, there are the other gadgetry they could stuff into its casing... a built in camera, more gaming capabilities, etc.
and to throw in my two cents... to distinguish itself from the iPhone apple should keep the iPod as a better music/video player (and by better i mean smaller, cheaper, better battery life and higher capacity). Its technologically easy to do at least two of those... building an iPod that satisfies all four (smaller, cheaper, better battery life and higher capacity) will be the real trick.

Apple can do it... they are getting a bunch of 30 year old men with wives to camp outside of the Apple Store in the rain for four days... they can build a better iPod.
Yes.
Does anyone have a link to what monthly/quarterly iPod sales figures are? Are they in fact slowly dropping? If so, Apple would seemingly have to do something to reinforce its big cash cow (iPhone won't have the volume to do it immediately/in '07).
Wouldn't that be something? I'd love to be able to browse the iTunes Store on my iPod via WiFi.. and its entirely feasible. That would be revolutionary, I think. You could download songs and h.264-quality movies with it.
Here in the UK, there are a lot more 3G networks, hopefully it will have 3G by the time it gets here. With that update, they may as well increase the storage and/or decrease prices.
Easy there tiger, a song, oui signor*, maybe movies is going a bit far, he hasn't even made them worldwide yet!
* No more GCSEs, ever, so who cares if I'm mixing and matching?
I don't know, but at a guess, I'd say September to October. Personally, the wait is killing me, all I have is a shuffle, and I've got $350 piled up, ready to buy the day they announce it. I'd get an iPhone, if only it had 60+GB storage. I've got tons of movies that I like to keep with me.
