New iPods on Monday?

I just hope they offer one in the classic white/silver motif. I'm all for giving colors to those who want them, but I'd probably be more inclined to buy a used classic than a new, colorized version.

I do love the new scroll wheel on the minis, though.
 
Interesting rumor, I was quite content with the previous rumors of August updates - that to me seemed a little more realistic. But I guess we'll see Monday! I'm not sure exactly how a different colored scroll whell would look though - I thought Apple might just color the entire iPods a la the iPod minis, but I'm curious to see how asthetically pleasing this new iPod will be if the rumors are indeed bang on.
 
airtunes

most interesting thing would be airtunes enabled ipods - would be really rockin' if you sit on the toilet with the ipod in your hands changing the sound in the living room ... well i would buy one ... i want to do this toilet thing :)

Updates are always cool. Looks like Steve is trying to get off his Tuesday announcement day.

I just wonder what this "out-of-the-ordinary publicity medium" will end up being?

Prices drops seem the most surprising, when the previous rumor was referring to prices staying at the current MSRP. But that rumor may turn out to be about the minis, and Apple would be crazy to lower the price on those with so much demand.

I wouldn't be surpriseed if the only changes would be the size and not the price. As stated in the thread, they can't make them fast enough and if Apple were to launch new iPods with a new lower prices, wouldn't they hype it?
 
I'd really like the battery life on the iPod to be a little better than it is now, just so all my iPod-bashing friends will shut up about battery life. If it goes DOWN with the new, sleeker, iPod, I'll be very disappointed. Unless they've found some magic new battery, or the other stuff takes up less room so they can improve battery life AND reduce size.

Oh well, I've already got my own 20GB 3rd gen, so I'm not worried.

AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I held out for 3 months waiting to buy a 4th gen!

Two weeks ago I break down and buy a personalized 40gig iPod!

%*&^(**^%%$#(*&^^%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody wanna buy a 40gig iPod with my name on it?? If not I may have to buy a 15gig just because I'm a nut job...
 
Where is everyone getting the new color from for the scroll wheel?

It says a new style, is all. It says nothing about color.
 
I can't believe only two people have commented about the battery. That would be one of my main concern is a drop (not too likely as would be a very bad move) or status quo battery capacity. Thinner is nice but the biggest grip about the iPod is batter life and now some more viable competitors are coming out with much longer battery capacities. Of course, I assume Apple recognizes this and is coming to market with a thinner, longer battery life iPod.

Of course, I also hope the iPod I just ordered last week turns out to be once of these new iPods.

THANK YOU!
Was just about to say that same thing.
 
I don't buy it. Toshiba announced the 60 GB hard drvies and Apple had pre-rdered a bunch. Those things weren't shipping until early August I believe. Unless Apple got a large number of thsoe things 1 month early this won't be happening. I wouldn't expect new iPods until sometime in August. I especially wouldn't expect them to ship until cram and jam finishes.

Just my opinion.

TS must of edited it. If you look at the front page of ts it will say color and design. Look like ts sources had a mix up.
 
Delivered through an out-of-the-ordinary publicity medium?

My guess is that it's a celebrity tie in. John Mayer with an iPod on stage? :) Al Gore with an iPod in a boardroom? :cool: Oh, wait, I know: Gwyneth Paltrow's baby "Apple" with an iPod in the nursery! :D
 
Lets throw a radio in there already!

If the new ipod has an AM/FM radio I will be very intrested in upgrading. I like to listen to the radio for news, sports and weather info. It's a litle rediculous that it doesn't have one already.
 
but how would Apple announce a product - explicitly??

"iPod. 15,000 songs in your mother$^%^# pocket. Smaller than a $*&^*$ pack of baseball cards." no, no that's "illicitly" damn, you're right, I meant "exclusively" :mad:
 
Wow... I was the first to post this topic and the front page has my first post! I feel kind of special, especially since I usually say stupid things on macrumors.com. Am I just happy about this for no good reason?

It could be the first portable to be compatible with HD Radio digital broadcasts. Got to get in early and trump the competition.
 
Wow, sooner than I expected, but I'm not complaining. Thinner would be way cool. It might be better when I go jogging.

If the 4G's look like the mini, but bigger, I would love that. That's what I'm talking about.
 
well ... my hopes are up. i ordered a 40GB on thursday, and it says shipping on or before 7/23. if it was just the in-stock 3G iPod i wouldn't think there would be much of a wait.

I do apologize; it does say exactly that on TS's front page. How odd that the color part vanished by the time it made it to macrumors......

Well, now I have to agree: keep it white already! People like it that way. If it ain't broke......
 
I just want bigger capacity and longer battery life (and a lower price wouldn't hurt either!).

If this does come to pass, I will be selling my 30GB iPod for sure and upgrading to the 60GB.

My 30GB is full to the max and I still have songs on my computer that are wanting to get on my iPod!!
