I wonder how far away (in terms of years) we are to customizing an iPod just like we would any other mac...hmm
Got a tip for us?

Why Does Apple's Lawyers Pursue The Posters?
Just curious about the psychology and equities of Apple asking various sites to remove/desist from posting the mockups of new hardware; doesn't that give more credence to the leaked info being authentic? Or....? What do you think?

Either that or it's reverse psychology.
Either way, all it leads to is speculation....
From what I recall the only things taken off the net were the "spy photos" on 9to5..
We will find out tomorrow if he is full of sh** or not.
He's already admited in his own words that he lied and intentionaly misled yous! He states so on the Think Secret Forums. End of Story!
Now, what about them new iPods?--)))
Wi Fi crippled or uninhibited Wi Fi, that is the question?
If crippled, I get to keep my money.
That might make sense if there wasn't such a shortage of iPods World Wide!
Perhaps there will do both? One can only hope!
Man I hope you're right about the pricing!
But I just don't see a lot of benefit to allowing WiFi access to iTMS. I guess it's just because I can't see myself using it. For me, the "killer feature" for WiFi is being able to use the iPhone style apps (Google/Safari/etc) from my iPod. If they enabled the iTMS integration, so much the better, but if Apple RESTRICTED WiFi so it only worked with iTMS, I think they'd get hammered in the press for something like that.
The other reason I don't see iTMS integration in here is because they didn't do it on the iPhone. The iPhone is the more obvious device to build that functionality into (since it has always on internet capabilities). But there was no hint of that functionality being in there. I don't know - I guess we'll find out tomorrow!
Eric Schmidt,...CEO of Google...also on Apple's Board of Directors...(do the math!)
WiFi without true browser = waste of time and money. Even if it does not come with a browser initially I bet at some point someone will make one work.
When Apple takes down those so-called "spy pictures", they're most likely using reverse psychology. I really don't think they would leave a trail of clues. I think they know that the mac rumor site would figure it all out .

One more thing.........
The 3G iPhone will be available from tomorrow in Europe
That would be nice, but I don't think that it's going to happen. It's more of a Paris Expo thing, if you know what I mean.
macRUMORS, it seems as if Apple is only inviting "legitimate" news sources not rumor sites.
I agree...the only iPhone news I expect to hear tomorrow is that of Ringtones, and maybe a Radio service (which would be with the iPod as well).
There is no way Apple is not releasing a widescreen iPod tomorrow...whether or not it is touchscreen or similar to the iPhone is up for grabs...they CANNOT keep the a screen that is worse than the Zune on their best iPod...it likely will be the Exact screen as the iPhone.
I personal am expecting a touchscreen iPod, but the Wi-Fi will only be for Youtube, iTunes Mobile Store (also coming to iPhone / Apple TV), and Apple TV remote connectivity.
If those Fat Nano's are real, then they are the new Nano's...anyone ever think the Nano would get touchscreen as well (I doubt it severally, but you never know).
He did? Link please?
They were taken off a number of sites, I don't know if those specific pictures are even available any more.
This can actually happen. I work at Premium Reseller and a new shipment of Hi-Fi's is suspected to come in at the 6th. We were out of stock for some time now.
