Next-Generation iPod Model Number List Revealed?

Other than a camera, and some tweaks, i recon they're going to keep the design of these models drifting along. The iPhone too got an arguably modest update (visually) so perhaps Apple are just trying to keep their new designs close to their chest until the economy picks up.
What about 32gb iPod nano. I thought that was going to be a given. They have been upping the nano since they came out! No hope for 64gb nano. Next year?
If nothing else, it proves that they don't have to take the store(s) down to change prices or content.
yeah the 80 was slimmer than the 160 but those were flat platic looking and the 120 was more of a rounded edge metal case.
80 and 160 cases were like this

120 is like this

I was semi-hoping for a bump too, but really, the nano isn't the product of choice for audiophiles and people with large libraries. That and Apple wants to force you to the next model up where there's more profit. It's all about the money. Maybe a 32 GB nano next year.
There are many who use their classics not as a portable walking Pod but for DJing, or at studios, work, home where its plugged into stereos. I have more than 160GB of music and yes I can't listen to it all at once, but I want my entire collection (especially when I travel) with me so I can choose.
I have a 160 and many of us are not opposed to a ticker pod since it's not about portability.
yes, I'm seeing this event being very disappointing and the howling on MR being pretty loud. Time to avoid this site for the next day or two...
still was a small redesign after the plasticy type classic the 160 and 80gb started out with
FWIW, I know two people who rip all their CDs to Apple Lossless format. In that case, 120/160 GB isn't really that large and the Classic becomes the manditory iPod of choice.
I wonder how many people still buy the classic? I'm sure it has its fans, but it just seems so outdated when compared to the touch.
Way to think right smack dab in the center of the inside of the box. I'm so sick of hearing people say this same thing over and over. "you could never listen to that many songs".
LISTEN TO ME RIGHT NOW. It's not about listening to EVERY song at once, it's about listening to ANY song at once! I have my entire music collection on my ipod 40GB, I can choose any song from my collection ANY time I want. I can shuffle through my collection whenever I feel like it. I hear songs I forgot about that I wouldn't even think of "syncing". It's the main reason i still have a 5 year old ipod instead of a touch. I'm hoping that changes today (or at least soon).
That's it. That right there is the reason why people want storage capacity. I have been eyeing ipod photo's/ipod video's because they offered enough storage for my library. However, I just got a 32gb iPhone two days ago and for now it will suffice. That is until I start loading it up with apps. Esp. if I buy that tomtom app I am on the fence about. I believe it is about 7 gigs or so.
yea, but they always bump every ipod. i mean except for the classic last year, but that was a diff story. ugh i really wanted a 32gb nano so that way i had more confirmation that next year there would be a 64gb ipod nano. i wanna get rid of my classic.
That is actually pretty easy, if you know how Apple works – they need to forward everything to servers all around the globe, and that's where I step in to get software from (sometimes up to a day ahead of the official release).
p.s. I cannot provide a direct download link, for obvious reasons
store with your name on it.
or there was never any intention, despite rumors, to put the camera on the touch because then it would be one decent VoIP app away from cutting into iphone sales
That would be really cool, but I'd say we're a year or two away from having something like that become a reality. The prices for memory are dropping quickly though - the sooner we get there, the better!
