New iPods Next Month?

by Terrence O'Brien on August 22, 2007 at 04:01 PM

We said it first, and now everyone else is starting to come around. Analysts are saying that next month they expect a refreshed iPod, which will likely use the same big and responsive touchscreen that the iPhone uses. Apple Insider is reporting that we can expect an update of both the iPod and the iPod Nano.

Many are expecting the updated video iPod would also use the same big widescreen display that the iPhone uses. According to analysts, the new Nano may well see a price drop and an increase over the maximum 8-gigabyte (GB) memory it has now.

We'll just have to wait and see what actually happens when Steve Jobs makes the announcement, which will most likely take place at next month's annual Apple Expo in Paris.

Apples electronic equivalent of a penis extension. Kind of like the Hummer. Does lots of nothing, costs lots of money and lets the owner think they are really hip.

New Creative Zen's are coming out too. Creative already has a widescreeen music/video player, which they've made for years. It is a 262,000 color screen, 4 times that of the video iPod. So, don't wait for Apple to come out with one, get a Creative Zen Vision:M or W (Widescreen)

We've had three I-Pods in this family and they've only lasted 2-3 years. The Creative Zen we've had is around 6-7 years and we've never had a problem with it. I will NEVER buy another IPod. I'm looking forward to the new Zen. We've also owned an MP3 player for almost 10 years now. It was given to me as a sample to test. This thing only holds 60 songs, but I've never had any problems with it either. The company that made it is sadly out of business, but because of bad management, not bad products. There are many options to IPod, don't know why anyone would still want one.

Tiny electronics like the I-pod can only handle so much. My I-pod froze on me a few times which made me very upset, so I feel that the more I-pod keeps up grading these I-pods,something is going to go wrong. Something small is doing alot and in the long wrong things probly will not workout....)-:
