nickheer 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Apple has sent out this invitation across the web. It shows 2 things: 1) Cover flow: does this mean new widescreen iPods? We'll have to see. 2) A Beatles reference: "The beat goes on" is the last line of the press release from Apple Corps. when the Beatles split up. Does this mean the Beatles catalogue will be added to iTunes? Alright: there's your briefing. Let the rumour mill and discussions begin! (Source: Ars Technica) Link to post
KAWSquared 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 ahh, you beat me to it nick September 5th IMO seems a bit too early for them to release the iPod. I mean, they had the iPhone which delayed Leopard, and if they release the iPod now, it just wouldn't make sense, especially with the christmas holiday somewhat near. Link to post
Sci-Fi 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I was planning to buy another iPod from July. I'll wait for the new ones (I hope it's not that expensive).P.S: Doesn't this thread go under "Main Discussion"? Link to post
Guest Yami Bakura Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I am guessing OS X based iPod and iTunes 8 is what's coming. Link to post

Levi- The perfectionist 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 hmmm he's holding a 5th generation ipod.... so i doubt it means a new ipod(why would they advertise with an old ipod if they're introducing a new one???)I think maybe an ipod update though to include coverflow functionality? maybe... or maybe they're about to bump up capacity of the ipod (from 30gb to 50gb, 80gb to 100gb... and maybe a switch to flash instead of a hdd???)or maybe its more on leopard and coverflow functionality.

Levi- The perfectionist 0 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Because they would never give away the design of a new product (hopefully) in press materials.thats true... but they still wouldnt use an old product for a new product release.its got to be something else other than an ipod... the invitation is designed to create speculation without giving it away and without misleading...

delta909 0 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I have a friend who owns a RadioShack and he confirmed to me today that it would be a new ipod widescreen. Im sure he knows something as he was explaining to me he was gonna make a huge order for his store for nanos but decided to wait for the widescreens. Link to post

lostfan 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Damn, I was at the Apple store today (aka heaven) I shoulda asked. Although I doubt they woulda said anything.I'm thinking widescreen iPods and Beatles in iTunes Store. A new version of iTunes would be nice too. And more info. on Leopard. Am I greedy? Link to post

Soniku 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 New Leaked (?) iPod Nano Photos: Possibly Coverflow on a Nano? kinda creepy Link to post
Quillz 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 kinda creepyWhat's so creepy about it? Mockup or not, I think it looks nice, and since the new firmware is rumored to be based on OS X, there's no reason that Cover Flow wouldn't work on the nano. Of course, wouldn't that imply the nano uses a touch screen? Unless the click wheel quickly scrolls through the covers... Link to post
mntbikeracer1 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 As much as I swore I would never buy another ipod, if the widescreen, iphone without the phone ipod comes out that everyone is calling for I may just have to get one. Damn you apple. Link to post
sean.fletcher 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 kexxxxx? , xxxxx?, beatles, ipod man, Mika- Cartoon Motion, Jack Johnson (?), xxxxx Keane- Under the Iron Sea, The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Beastie Boys - The Mix-Up, "iPod Man", Mika - Cartoon Motion, Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams, ????? It doesn't look like there is any order to the albums. I wonder if that means anything? Lol. Of course not. Link to post

Damn you apple.I agree. There is great demand for portable Wi-Fi devices. Look at the gadgets like the Sony Mylo, for example. So I think it would be wise for Apple to invest in such a device. Thus, from a consumer standpoint, it seems perfect to essentially sell an iPhone, without the phone. Just give me the iPod and "breakthrough Internet communications device" and I'll be happy.

Levi- The perfectionist 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 New Leaked (?) iPod Nano Photos:Possibly Coverflow on a Nano?Hmm thats not to ugly at all... previous mockups/photos were somewhat ugly because they looked like fat versions of the current 5th gen ipod.... and they looked very fake.But these are ok coz they maintain the current ipod nano look.coverflow on nano could be very cool.I didnt think I'd say this- but I want this to be the new nano.

It would also be cool, I think, if they left the camera on there, that might compete too much with the phone though. Link to post
