kraken613 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Posted September 5, 2007 I guess we will find out tommarow!
Robgraves Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 it will be an ipod that runs a version of MacOS
Chris Benvenuto Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 it will be an ipod that runs a version of MacOS no offense there pal, but wouldn't that be the iPhone just known as iPodOS?
GMAN962 Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Here's my guess, and there are rumors about this anyway of what will happen. (Got it from macrumors.com) -Touch screen video iPod with cover flow, osx, and a 480x320 display -iPod Nano "Phatty" featuring optional bigger storage, and videos. It'll be fatter than the current Nanos. Mock Up: Credit goes to Engadget for the photo -iPod Shuffle Product (RED) -Possibly wifi and internet browser for the full sized iPod. -Wireless iTunes store for iPhone -iPhone ringtones -The Beatles on iTunes Sounds like it'll be a huge day for Apple tomorrow!
Robgraves Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 it will be an ipod that runs a version of MacOS no offense there pal, but wouldn't that be the iPhone just known as iPodOS? not really, the plan would be for it to be more of a fully functional computer product. while yes it would be similar to the iphone it would be more like a melding of an ipod, a mini and an iphone. At least if the designs i saw are legit/what is actually produced.
CommanderLock Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Well, its the fifth, and...well, I have no idea where to find the news...so... I'm hoping a set of new models. Like 12GB Nanos and 120GB Videos? Or a cross between the two? I'm gettng a 4GB Nano this Christmas (or birthday, whether my parents feel like beating the Day After Thanksgiving crowds or the Christmas shopping crowds). Or maybe a cross between the two? Maybe iTunes on your iPod? Or something to counter Zune's "Social" wireless sharing?
jjeerr Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Fat Nano: $149/199 4/8GB iPod Classic: $299/399 80/160! GB iPod Touch $299/399 8/16 GB As of 11am PDT via engadget Link
Homer Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Looks like Wes' prediction came true with the iPod Touch. I was considering it until I noticed the space and became a little "Ehh, the space feels kind of constrained, almost like a PSP." Also, as nice as portable web browsing would be (especially on TPR trips), I think a laptop would be better. The other peeve of the iPod touch would be finger smudges/scratches. Quick question though, are existing 80 GB models now going to be $249?

Wes Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 The other peeve of the iPod touch would be finger smudges/scratches. The screen is so bright finger smudges don't show unless the screen is off. It doesn't scratch very easily at all, and screen protectors are pretty easy to come by.
kraken613 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Posted September 5, 2007 You got an iPhone Wes? They are 399 for 8gb. 299 for 4gb until the 4gb runs out.
Wes Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Yeah, I got one a couple weeks back. I'm seeing if I can get a $200 credit since I bought it so recently, but if not, oh well. Still think the phone is awesome and worth the $600 I paid.
Loco Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 I don't really like the fact that they made the iPod Touch look exactly like the iPhone. I rather get the iPhone.
CoastersNSich Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 I'm stumped at which new iPod to get. I have the 4th gen monochrome 40GB iPod that's almost 3 years old yet is fussy, and it'd be nice to hold all my music. I also have the 1st gen iPod nano, which works well now but is obviously outdated. Notice that the new iPods now use Helvetica (a lovely classic font) as its system font, rather than Myriad, which Apple uses in its marketing. The iPod touch is so impressive for those of us that don't want/need the iPhone but want all the non-phone features and/or no contract, but I'm a bit disappointed at the "touch's" relatively low capacity for the price. However, the features may make up for the lack of capacity, including Safari web browser and the WiFi iTunes store.
kraken613 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Posted September 5, 2007 The nano has started to grow on me.
kennywood!007 Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Looks pretty awesome. The black fat nano looks awesome. I want it.
kraken613 Posted September 6, 2007 Author Posted September 6, 2007 It will be fun when I get a touch to make all my freinds at school think I have an iPhone. No one at my school has one.
coasterdude5 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Could someone explain the Wi-Fi aspect of it for me? As in payments, would it act like the DS or would you have to pay each time you went to a website? They all look cool, except I'm not sure about the new nano's...
kraken613 Posted September 6, 2007 Author Posted September 6, 2007 The web browser is free just like on a laptop. The itunes store im not sure how it works. I imagine just like it does now with a username and password. Each time I look at the nano I like it better. And how thin it is makes it even nicer. Still the touch is the best. I think 160gb is crazy in a iPod!
jmicha Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I currently have a 2GB Nano, and the small amount of space will soon become a problem. In the last month alone, I've added over 100 songs to my iPod. I'm not so sure I like the new Nano, however. I have no desire to watch videos, or take up a large chunk of storage space on my iPod, so the extra width for the screen is actually a con in my opinion. The iPod Touch, however, looks very intriguing. When the time comes for me to upgrade my iPod, I may look into getting the Touch.
Hurricane Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I have a black 30gb video iPod. I want a iPod Classic
coasterguy618 Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 With the new price of the 8gb iPhone, I see there being no point in getting an Ipod Touch with there only being a 100 buck difference with the 8gb and how the 16gb touch is the same price of the iPhone. Now that the price was lowered i might actually get an iPhone
metrock Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 ^ Well the point in getting an iPod touch is that: for the same price you get twice the storage and are not locked into an AT&T contract for 2 years. By the way, AT&T=Worst provider ever. I would sell my soul before returning to AT&T.
zaneymon Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I'm so getting a new nano at around Christmas. I think they look awesome

The only reason im still with them is cause of the iPhone.
