iPod Touch - the New Flagship iPod

[AppleDave Veteran]

I've been waiting for this release since last november.

[gonzoislost]

by september 7th.... september 10th, the new PSP. decesion for me by september 15th...

[SamNeeds]

Based on the patent applications filed, I'd say its a fair bet it will resemble that.

[Toxikk Veteran]

nice. can't wait for this bad boy. iphone what?

[PL_ Veteran]

so your basing your opinions on stuff that happend in the past?

Uhh...what else can he base his opinions on? He's trying to speculate. What do you do? Look back at the past and see trends and patterns.

[gonzoislost]

true, but to many do that and they even do it after the product ships, and its anoyiong because they bitch all the time...

[craybox]

this should be quite interesting.

We have all seen the suposedly 'new' fatpod' and dislike it ? yes of course we do.

Now we will see how well apples marketing and pr machine work. How could they possibly convince us that this is a cool new ipod? unless it's functionallity blow the rest out of the water.

[Gamerhomie]

Well see. I'm looking into MP3 players currently and if the new iPods are indeed so "WOW" and amazing then I might get one. :p

[Digitalx]

if they can manage to slip off an iphone styled ipod touch thing i think it may just push me over the edge to buy one hopefully they'll be released outside the US :rofl: aslong as they don't cost same as iphone (more then ps3) then will be good and probably quite popular. the UI should be an interesting thing to see none the less with the whole touch stuff

something like this

mixed with this

WHY is everyone using the old version of coverflow in their mockups?!

[Digitalx]

it's just an interesting idea that would work and flow well hypothetically with touch interface of an iphone styled ipod.

[osirisX]

No, I mean why is everyone using the version of Coverflow instead of the more recent one in iTunes. Coverflow is ofcourse a given when considering a touchscreen iPod and probably non-touch iPods as well.

Why would I want a touch screen iPod, I mean 99% of the people I know don't have any video on their video iPod, and 100% of the people keep their iPod in their pockets or handbags all the time. All we need is a long battery large compacity iPod that can play good music.

No, we need a user replaceable battery more than a long-life one. But I do agree we should get very high capacity iPod in the future... At least 120 GB, maybe as much as 250 GB. After all, between huge music collections, people are also now putting full-length movies on their iPod, so the more space, the better.

Yeah, for the last few years I've been slowly getting my collection up to about 5GB (my Dell Pocket DJ couldn't fit anymore) and over the summer it rose to about 16GB of music. :p And I like having all my music on me at once. I currently have a 512MB Sansa. :(

[fukachu]

i want some easy way to change tracks without having to pull the device out. i liked the old design because i could have it in my pocket on random and skip tracks easily without pulling it out. if the screen can have some buttons for skip on the touch screen easy to access by being pressed through pants then im happy. i often work outdoors with very dirty hands and i don't want to be touching the device all the time.

Why not get iHosen or an iHunt?

[.Neo]

^Sexy.

:laugh:

[fukachu]

indeed, very sexy. although can't see myself wearing either of those.. haha. i work with soil so im always very dusty and dirty. my old ipod died and im buying a new one come thursday (since it is early morning thursday here when announced) can't wait, just hope i can use when working because it is a solitary job and music makes the day go faster :)

[GuJu]

I HOPE ITS REAL

I would give up my 5th gen for this in a second.

[AppleDave Veteran]

I'm just hoping the price isn't too much

More iPod Nano and Touch Mockups

As the September 5th media event approaches, more mockups are circulating around the web. The following appeared on GearLive and appears to simply represent another mockup of the iPod nano inspired by the previously leaked images:

The image incorporates an image of Cover Flow posted here which is believed to represent an accurate representation of the new iPod Cover Flow. The images are consistent with the leaked user interface videos that were revealed in July.

A second mockup of the rumored iPod Touch is provided by 9to5mac who were the source of the original iPod Nano photos which were pulled at the request of Apple Legal:

The image reflects the previous description that the high end iPod Touch would essentially be an iPhone without phone functionality.

so looks like the new nano may not be as big as we thought...

[.Kompressor]

lol the first picture looks like an iPhone that someone says is an iPod. hehe but I'm sure it will look the same at the phone anyway.

[Cormier6083]

Safari on the iPod would be A W E S O M E ! ! ! Hopefully it has Wi-Fi and bluetooth

[osirisX]

The iPod isn't going to get Safari. That's a higher-end feature more suited for the iPhone.
