Wait wait.. let me just say this: if the new iPod can sync Events from iPhoto.. then we iPhone users had better get a firmware update tomorrow that lets us do it too! Currently we are stuck syncing only Albums, which are now semi-sorta-obsolete. A real bummer.
Got a tip for us?

Ah who cares, this is the first time I actually saw the original pictures.
Now for these screens.. I'm wondering how well this will work on such a small screen, but it's nice to see a change and I'm sure you can disable it. The large iPod is what I'm really waiting for. For me to actually buy one immediately it must have a larger, wider display, a larger hard drive, (At least 40GB) and hopefully internet access.
iPodtouch better have Wi-Fi access to Internet
I would buy this item immediately only if the Wi-Fi functionality isn't hamstrung, meaning I can't surf the web from the iPodtouch device. To come up with some sort of technology that allows users to "share songs" or "listen to Internet Radio streams" is at best mediocre. The touch functionality is fine, but for what it's worth, if the Wi-Fi doesn't allow you surf the Internet, well the Apple-AT&T deal is sweet for both corporations, not the consumer.
I'll wait for 3G iPhone to hit or when Research In Motion releases the first 3G BlackBerry available on AT&T. I currently have the 8700c and it does just about anything I need it for albeit on a slow EDGE network. I paid $250 for it and simply couldn't justify spending 600 big ones on the iPhone. I have a 4th Gen iPod Photo that has been put through hell but is still thankfully ticking with no signs of a weakening battery. But diatribes aside, iPodtouch + Wi-Fi gateway to Internet = EXTREMELY GOOD NEWS!

Errr... no. When turned on it's side, the ipod is wide screen. Not 16:9, but widescreen nonetheless. It's actually 13.5:9. A 1.5 aspect ratio. Standard 4:3 is a 1.333 aspect ratio. Plus, double click on a cropped 16:9 vid and it will shrink ever so slightly to letterbox it as 16:9. On a tiny 4:3 screen that would be a pretty extreme letterbox.

Why on earth would you think the wifi wouldn't allow you to surf the internet? Only edge and 3G require a cell phone connection. Not wifi. And even the iPhone lets you use wifi without cell connectivity.
I would hope/expect an iPod HiFi update if this is going to be an iPod dominated event.
Comon apple will not make their device top out at 12gigs, considering Creative has two players out with 16gig(and one of them even has a SDHC slot) one going for around $250 and one with the SDHC slot 300 for the 16gig. Then there is Cowon which has the iAudio6 at 16gigs for about $250 also. All of them do video(in some divx/xvid format) and have FM radio. So 12gig maybe an option, but 16gig will be the max.
Isn't the rumor that the Nano will top out at either 12GB or 16GB? Who said all iPods would top out at 12GB? Unless you mean only the Nanos. I think a limit of 12GB is perfectly reasonable; if it gets too large in capacity, the line between Nano and regular become blurred.
No one cares about radios. I'm amazed that other companies waste the time and space putting them into their MP3 players.
What is the possibility of Wifi support? I've heard its a major probability...but like this article says take it with a grain of sand?
seems lie 50/50
I definitely think the all allusive iPhone update will come out tomorrow (Voice activiated Dialing and iPhoto Events and maybe some form of iChat).
P.S. - I played with an iPhone today at the mall..very nice!! (as borat would say)...I'm so thankful that my verizon contract is up and that I can afford to buy such a cool thing because I'm young and don't have college to worry about just yet and no bills!!

Ok, just heard a rumor from a guy from an apple store in Melbourne that an apple shipment is sitting constrained (not too sure of the exact meaning, but I can sure guess) at the docks in australia.
My loins are moist with excitement.
Anyone point me towards a countdown for the event? Global time zones confuse me.

Touchscreens and coverflow seem like quite nice ways of navigating an ipod, but I just hope it's not to the exclusion of clickwheels and menus. I just can't see how the efficiency of the current system could be beat, at least with these schemes. Anybody with a 4 gig nano and a 4 gig iphone able to comment?
i have to have the best so i just sold me 5th gen iPod and i'll be getting the touchscreen one soon.
id love to see any other companie's media event to have so many rumours and speculations about it.
btw..just heard that apple is delaying the media event..due to resources being devoted to the iphone.
