Apple is going to be announcing something about the iPod tomorrow at 10AM PST. What could it be?

A lot of people assume that Apple is going to introduce iTunes 8, though I'm not sure what it would be, and they're going to introduce a new redesign of the iPod Nano:



The event won't start until 2PM where I am, which is a bit of a drag.

:ohboy:  i cant wait.
 
Maybe ill actually buy one this year.

SnakeClock

I was going to buy a Sandisk Sansa MP3 player this month, but I'm going to hold my water to see what they say.

They probably won't convert me, though.

i never really liked ipods, youre just buying a name brand.

That was a hell of a flip-flop, if I do say so myself.

SouvlakiClock

My iPod's finally starting to deteriorate because I take such bad care of it, so maybe I'll get this in the future.

copy the link location, it's a first gen nano.

also according to wikipedia

Testing by technology-enthusiast website Ars Technica has shown that even after being sat on, dropped by a jogger, dropped four times from a car moving at various speeds, then being driven over twice by the car, and finally dropped from nine feet onto concrete, the unit's screen was damaged but it could still play music. The unit finally stopped playing music after being thrown 40 feet (12 m) into the air and landing on concrete.

so dude must really be treating it pretty bad lmao.

That iPod's a hardy bastard. Makes me wonder why they replace them annually.

SnakeClock

Well, the keynote has come and gone, and some amusing announcements.

The new Nano is just what we thought it was, but it also comes in larger capacities, 8GB and 16GB, and like the Touch, you can switch its screen from portrait to landscape mode depending on which way you tilt it. It also has a new feature where it can skip to the next song or literally shuffle the songs by shaking it. A Sansa player called the Shaker had this same feature, but that one was designed for children.



Some other things of note, a price drop and slim-down of the iPod Touch with improved battery life, and a new 120GB iPod Classic, which is also smaller. He also showed off several games they have for the Touch, including versions of Spore and Need for Speed. The iPod has better game support than Mac OS X. :p

Also announced was iTunes 8, which is reportedly easier to use, and features a new feature called "Genius" that can sort your playlist according to similar songs, determined by having data sent from iTunes to detect listening patterns. Apple is watching you!

I dunno if I might get an iPod now after this announcement, since they still lack a bunch of things that nag me, like expandable memory, DivX video support and other such goodies (though this new Nano finally has voice recording), but this latest 16GB iPod Nano is only $199. Not bad for a 16GB player:

I was hoping they woulds announce a way to replace the batteries in the iPod. I had one, but the battery stopped charging so I got a Zune.

TequilaClock

I would like Apple made their computers cheaper. Just saying.
 
Sorry, I never was too much in the iPod thingy.

No, that giant screen is just for enormous album art. The iPod intends to abandon a feature that has been standard for three years. :ohdear:
