I personally think that apple has hinted twards it in their Apple TV commerical (where the computer/tv/iPod are all playing the same thing at the same time obviously implying that the Apple TV is sending the iPod the movie, with 802.11n you could stream a DVD-Quality movie no?
Got a tip for us?

hehe rather WiFi headphones
my bad thanks!
Maybe Bluethooth might be more useful to me than Wi Fi.
No WiPod.
The term WiPod would be extremely illogical right now considering their product line ups all start with a lower case "i" anyway. The most fitting term would probably be something like the iPod (insert title here). For example, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, etc... you get the point.

Intel debuts: "Mobile Internet Device"
At its Developer Conference in Beijing today, Intel unveiled a new post-PC computing form-factor, "Mobile Internet Devices" (MIDs)
![]()
This is an interesting development, since Intel apparently has rejected Windows Mobile in favor of Linux as the default OS for this new form-factor.
Will there be an Apple MID sometime in the future? (If so, I'd probably bite.)

How cool would would it be to have an ipod with isight, ichat, multitouch and wifi capabilities. Video chat via ichat or pod-to-pod, maybe playlist sharing so the you can share your music with the person sitting next to you on the train. Kinda like how the nintendo ds lets you pictochat or battle with another ds.
if this is the new ipod then who know's what's in store next. i can't really be to much more excited for the new line of ipods in september
If this doesnt support WPA Enterprise I will be greatly disappointed. I doubt it will have a VPN client so I wouldnt want to use it on an open network. My whole school is wireless with WPA Enterprise and everyone who bought an iPhone is rather upset they cannot use it on our extensive network.
Its not a new technology, lets add the ability for secure wireless...

To stay popular? Its not even truely out yet. It is draft n for a reason. You dont need it on your ipod, hell you dont need it really period. No where is n being utilized cause it costs so much more for 0 devices. Not to mention it requires 4 antneas and looks like crap. You can put it in your house sure, but are you really going to be sitting on your couch surfing on your ipod for kicks? And do you really see a slow down on g? Because I get crazy bandwidth anyways on g, and at some point your wireless is going to be moving faster than your uplink.
Stop with the n talk as they havent even introduced WPA:Enterprise into their iPhone and that is a security feature that has been around for a long time and approved. WEP is cracked in under a minute, give me security over a bunk n-card.
Haha touche. Apparently I read it "n in". Thats what you get when you stay up late.
