'The Beat Goes On' Live Event Coverage

[F.D.]

It's thin, so it won't be HD based. I guess it'll be $300 for 4GB and $400 for 8GB.

Oh yeah, that's right. They're gonna release a new, flagship iPod and only put 8 gigs in it. For three hundred bucks, which is only a hundred bucks more than a sodding 8 gig Nano...


Are you on medication?

 

[cornerdealy]

what a disappointment, everything i wouldve wanted in an ipod, except storage capacity.

 

[drugs!]

you guys were right about the wifi... i admit defeat


however, 16 gb flash only what the ****

 

[freezingmariner]

iPhone for $299 and $399 right NOW!!!

I just ordered mine at Apple Store in Menlo Park, NJ!!! SWEEEETT!

 

[chr1s60]

Is Steve trying to hurt iPhone sales???

 

[chriswheat]

Heh. F.D. Sorry. You lose.

 

[PecanEater]

Is the Touch iPod thinner than the iPhone?

 

[slicecom]

Well I still want an iPhone, so bring them to Canada damn it!

 

[angelkutty]

I agree. I have more than 16 GB of music, so I probably will be sticking to my good ol' 60 GB video.

wonder how long after the ipod classic releases someone rips the firmware to put on the older ipod videos to give them the new ui.

Yes, we all are on medication....except for you

this iPOD touch will be used mostly as "PDA", not "music player", capacity isn't that important anymore.

 

[jackc]

But it doesn't have email, right?

 

[milo]

So does the touch have video output like the "classic"?

Does the nano?

Both of these are killer units, but that feature would be hugely missed by me.

 

[billchase2]

if the wifi music store is included in the next iphone update, i'll be very happy

 

[jockmock]

Why do they make a player with 3.5inch screen and only 16gb of storage. There's no way you can fit all your music and favourite videos on that thing

 

[clevin]

But it doesn't have email, right?

its just one hack away, (if no by default.)

 

[ghall]

Wait, is the biggest iPod now only 16GB? I'm confused.

 

[F.D.]

Heh. F.D. Sorry. You lose.

Not quite, eh.

8 and 16 gigs... not 4 and 8 gigs...

Great interface, crap storage... I'll be waiting awhile yet...

 

[ksolano]

Can we use .mac with these and send email?

 

[imac/cheese]

Even though it can't hold evey song in my library, this is still a great device. The storage will come in the future just like video has come to the nano. This is a great direction for the iPod to take.

 

[technicolor]

So will the iphone be able to access this wifi itunes store.

 

[chriswheat]

But it doesn't have email, right?

Until someone hacks the software from the iPhone onto the iPod. Or writes a mail program for the iPod.

it better be or I will be kinda pissed. also where are the games for the iphone.

 

[bananas]

Nice iPods, I like them all. I just might buy my first iPod one of these days.
