New iPod Video (3.5" touchscreen) - likely?

Meatball · 29 Mar 2006 at 22:05

There are loads of rumours about a new video iPod comming out that I am very interested in. I will be getting a new iPod in New York sometime next week, do you think this rumour is true and be out by the time I go to New York? I keep hearing something special about the 30th of March. Also what would you say costing would be? I am prepared to pay up to $400 for the lower storage version if it does not cost anymore. Thanks for any help

Seeing as there's only been dodgy pictures and rumours with no official information, I don't think anyone here really knows for sure, let alone the price of the thing.

Is tomorrow (er, today) definitely going to get us an announcement from Apple, then?

Hmm a product announcement on the first of april. I seem to remember full page ads taken out by BMW for cars that drove themselves and suchlike for the last couple of years, with a genuine website and everything. Look a little deeper and you found out it was all a joke. If you owned a video ipod, how annoyed would you be if they released a touchscreen version now?!

why should they be? They chose to buy an iPod video and whenever you buy a product a new one is round the corner

EDIT: When is the celebration date for Apples 30th birthday? When they announce a product at the conference things (like with the event before the iPod video) is the product released there and then or is it a case of waiting a few days, weeks, months?

Will the new iPod announcement be today? I keep checing ThinkSecret to see if they have confirmed it but the more I read into the new iPod rumour the more I see it as being false

(current iPod video ent been out for long, Apple have not got movies on iTunes yet etc etc).

EDIT: Still no confirmation

. Anyone know anything?
