New iPODS coming - again

[Rico]

Where is Bryan when you need him?  Digg founder Kevin Rose has gotten a hold of some images and information on upcoming iPods and other Apple info.  This is from a blog post he put up about a week ago....

Latest rumors:

- Revamp of entire iPod line.
- Small cosmetic changes to Touch, Nano to see significant redesign (see pic below).
- iPods to see fairly large price drops to distance itself from the $199 iPhone.
- iPod touch 2.1 software, iPhone to get update very soon after.
- iTunes 8.0 ("it's a big update w/new features").
- All of this coming in the next 2-3 weeks.

It all sounds pretty likely and interesting.  Here's a photo of what the new Nano is suppose to look like:

looks like Apple is applying the slimline airbook design to it's new iPod - I like it!
I'm waiting to buy an iPod touch when it's storage capacity is increased.
My 3 year old iPod video is a great way to carry around movies, Star Trek episodes, lots of music and makes a handy massive external drive (160 gb)

Yeah my 2nd Gen iPod mini is starting to show it's age. That and I've dropped it about a hundred times. Still kickin' though!

Right now I'm really happy with my 80 gig classic and my first gen iphone.  The only feature I really think it should get is wifi updating of the podcasts.  That way I can be on vacation and get a wifi update of treks in scifi without a computer.  Or does the touch already have that?

I sooooooooooooooooooo love my ipod, not going to change it yet as it runs great. This does look very cool.

I think the Ipod is one of the best inventions in the last 10 years and It is one of my most prized possessions. New one looks nice also.

I am in the same exact boat. It just keeps running....

I don't even own an Ipod. I do have an mp3 player though, which I really like, but I might consider buying one if the price was right.

I think that Ipod in the picture looks dated.. I dont like it!

However I will attest for the coolness of IPod.. I carry mine ALL of the time, and I have every episode of TNG and VOY on my pod for easy access with plenty of room to spare for DS9 and Enterprise as well as TOS. Its cool that I can carry my entire music library as well!

Think I'll wait for the iPatch :D

I carry mine in my pocket everyday. I can see how the tapered profile would be a nice improvement

I love my iPod, but it cost almost as much as the iPhone-  without all of the iPhone's cool features.  :( >:(

I'll probably get an iPhone before I get a new iPod.

The ipod I own is a 30 gig video ipod.  I got it as a gift in October and found Treks In Sci fi podcast shortly after.  I really do need to get a bigger one, but not in the budget at this point.  Someday!!!!  Anyway all that to say I love my ipod.  It is soo cool.

No iPod here - Pocket PC device and a media player that came pre-installed with a Treks-in-SciFi link (at the time). The good news is I've got WiFi podcast updates but the bad news is I've only got 2Gb of memory to play with. Not a lot for music, pictues and podcasts :(

New iPods look interesting but I don't want to chain myself to the PC for updates.

Here I am!! Mr. Apple! Yes, I did see that pic and there is definately a iPod and iMac revamp coming on the next month or so. I like the new Nano look in that pic. I also want an iPhone, but I will always need an iPod for running/biking with. The iPhone is too big and nice for that.
