Apple to Introduce an iPod Stick?

Could this be the iPod Stick, or, iPod Flex????
This was developed by the Chocolate agency and people were talking about this when the iPhone debuted. Can anyone tie Chocolate Agency with Apple? If yup, it's possible!
:D

Oh, by the way, this has an ePaper screen! Could this be the future of Apple displays???

I'll take two! :D
 
How would the screen work you can not roll a screen in or out with out breaking it. I think this is false becuase really who wants a roll out screen on an ipod

That crossed my mind since it has been noted that we've had a stick-like iPod before.

The "stick" in this claim, however, seems to refer to a rolled-up scroll design with a pull out flexible screen. Maybe even a flexible touch screen.

I'd love to see this technology put to use in an iPad. I would be a bit shocked if Apple doesn't have some experimental flexible screens in their labs.

That'll happen eventually when the technology is cheaper.
 
YUP the ipod "stick" was released today at just $79 and comes in 4gb in either silver or black.

No it wasn't, the original rumor said it would have wifi and a flexible screen. Also, we can read the front page thank you.
 
I don't think I like the new iPod shuffles. I have an iPhone, and a shuffle (the last generation before this one), and I don't see the advantage of the new 3G Shuffle.

I usually clip my shuffle on my shorts, and just go. Changing songs is easy, as it's right htere on my belt. Now you have to find the controls on the wire? What happens when you're running and the headphones are looped in your shirt?

Bad design.

Guys, please do not hijack the thread with off topic posts. It degrades the usefulness of the thread for members who are looking for information about the original topic. Read the first post. This thread is not about the new iPod Shuffle nor any existing Apple product. This is about a hypothetical iPod with a multi-touch flexible display.

And this hypothetical device is so important to you that you can't weed past a couple of harmless posts without commenting on them? Please. This is such an obvious joke that I can't even comprehend how this thread has lasted this long.

Multi-touch flexible display? Sounds cool, but does anyone have any idea how it might work? Thought not. The best part is the 7MP camera. I suppose they chose such a stupid number because "why would you make up a number like that? It must be true!"

:rolleyes:

Apparently, you can't weed past my comment without commenting on it, either. It's not the hypothetical device which is important, but the very real technology behind it. I suppose this thread has lasted so long because a few of us on this technology forum are actually interested in the way new and uncommon technologies may change things. Thanks for the patronizing response, though.

C'mon, man. Did you even read the thread before commenting? Thought not. If you had, you'd see several posts, pictures and links to videos demonstrating how this idea might work.

Nice mock-up! That's definitely the "stick" that this claim suggests. Complete with the 7 MP camera. I'd still market it as the iPod scroll, though. It sounds more elegant to say you've got a scroll in your pocket rather than a stick in your pocket.
