Apple Resellers Report iPod Stocks Dwindling, All SKUs Being Discontinued

[macintoshtoffy]

All I can say; if they only thing they do is make 3.x standard on iPod Touch and increase the storage capacity to 64GB (or maybe even 128GB but I'd doubt it would happen), I would be a very happy man. I just hope that there is an increase to 64GB because right now 32GB is absolutely pathetic. Come on, some of us have more than a couple of cd's in our collection.

The current touch has a 3.5" (diagonal) screen and is 4.1" tall (or long, depends on how you're using it).

At current specs, a touch device with a 5.0" (diagonal) screen would have to be 5.75" x 3.35".

You must have some giant pockets...

I'd rather have the screen go to the whole device.

+1

I like to carry my whole collection (movies and tv shows too)

will this mean a change in current iPhone line-up. maybe a price deduction?

 

[Pegasus665]

Will there be a new Ipod Touch coming out, 3rd gen? As i have an unopened boxed 2nd gen which I was hoping to sell near enough to the RRP & buy an Iphone 3GS...?

My Prediction

Newest iPod Touch wiill have a samsung 30" LCD screen with multi-touch gestures and official support for PC Hackintosh Snow Leopard installs.

It will also run Newton OS out of the box and cook pizza with its battery in under 8 minutes.

iPod Shuffle becomes a new form of plastic explosive that's capable of demolishing even the most rugged composit jewelery safe resulting in a 10x increase in retail jewelery theft.

the iPhone remains unchanged, but the Classic iPod becomes a clay putty based amorphous blob audio device where you insert your CD's Cassette and 8track media and it assimilates them as easily as the South Park trapper-keeper while slowly evolving into a sentient life form bent on human destruction.

............ Or maybe they include a camera, higher pixel density screen & more touch sensitive devices........... your best guess is as good as mine

WHY IS THE WEEKEND OVER!!!!! I HATE SUNDAY NIGHTS!!!!!!!

Please, for the love of Jehovah, iPods that don't use that scratchtastic chrome on the back that Apple loves SOOO much. I baby my iPod completely but within a year the back looks like ****. I promise you Apple, you're very close to losing me to the Zune HD or Archos 5 with Android. Give the iPod touch the same back as the iPhone...pleaseeeeee.

I hold that my iPod which I put in my left pocket with NOTHING else should be able to stand up to pocket lint without looking like it was attacked by a rabid dog on the back.

 

[Ericatomars]

shuffles can shuffle themselves out the door..

I really really dislike the shuffles. I dont want them to speak to me. The shuffle should come with a tracking device so you when you lose it, you can recover it. I don't know what apple was thinking on that one!

So are most of the 2nd gen shuffles and about half of the nanos.

I think I am going to pick up a Zune HD unless apple releases the tablet or the touch is totaly redesigned. I have a 1st and 2nd gen touch and a 4th gen nano so I think Im just want something I never had before. I really like the OLED screen.

nope.

About the OLED screen - beautiful contrast and vivid color saturation while indoors - outdoors, however, the screen becomes washed out completely:

At this stage of development, OLEDs different color pixel elements degrade at widely different rates - the screens eventually become tinted blue/green. Until additional backlighting is available, or reflective pixel technology can be integrated within, OLEDs need some more time to evolve from these early stages.

Anything less than 50 cds.

Well that explains it. Nokia is crap. Every one knows that. They make cheep products that look at least 10-12 years old

Clever of Apple to get rid of stock through the student buy a Mac, get an iPod promotion

I agree - a smart way to entice people to buy their other products, while at the same time clearing stock to make way for the new stuff. Brilliant!

 

[katiepitt]

Yep they definetely would have had plenty of iPod touch's left over, a great way to get rid of them.

 

[Jensen]

oh please god no...
I need a damned click wheel... i hate touchscreens so much i just pray they don't drop it. I hardly use my touch nowadays as i just dont like touchscreens...

To me, the click wheel is just a round touch screen.
I did put a couple of extra clicky buttons on my mock-up (but I didn't make them look clicky).

 

[ChadJK]

Correct me if I'm wrong...

Isn't there a new iPod out for every Holiday shopping season? In fact, isn't one of the reasons they give away free iPods to students buying Macs to help clear stock ahead of the very predictable iPod revision every 4th quarter? So, is this really news?

Are you collecting them or something ? What was wrong with the 2 touches that you so needed a nano for ?

 

[gan6660]

Well I got my 1st gen Touch for my birthday in 2007 and I won a 3rd gen nano at my moms company picnic in summer 2008 but it was stolen but that person paid for a new one and the 2nd gen touch came with my MBP but I got the 16gb version so it cost me $70.
