Well they released the iPod in november was it? And from sales it seems the iPod isnt living upto their expectations. I expect this new product to come out. The difference being that its going to be a true video media player and not an mp3 player that plays videos like the one just released.
 
Apparently in the last quarter the new iPod 5G sales did not reach their expectations even though they were high. I'm specifically talking about the 5G

Personally if I were apple i'd just stick with the click wheel, but put it on the back of the ipod, as lets be honest you don't need to look at it to use it, i never look at the clickwheel on my ipod, just the screen, using the clickwheel is just second nature now.

Yea but it would be a bit more difficult controlling it from the back. Gotta think of usability. The touch screen is the next step for them. This thing has been in production for a while and they've been working with 3rd parties to perfect the touch screen. They are even trying to patent the design through the 3rd party companies so that the competition wont be able to duplicate the touch screen for a while.
 
lol if i didnt have a stylus then i'd be touching the screen. a more durable screen plus a protective case is gonna mean no troubles.

We'll wait and see but I do believe they'll release it. And as james said they wont make the same mistake twice

Would this rumour have anything to do with this recent patent application from Apple? It's possible Apple are actually working on a mac tablet, not an iPod with a digital clickwheel, but all that is speculation.

If Apple released this with a scratch-resistant screen, DivX and XviD support, I think they could wipe the floor with the competition :)

Spot on. The patent was part of why people are speculating a video ipod. But if they plan to release a tablet well thats gonna be abig seller too.
 
No the ipod with video capability is old. A video ipod along the lines of portable media players is what they are talking about. Its an ipod that will be aimed at video use first. Those who want music with video secondary will go for the 5g. Those looking for video use first will go with the new ipod video. Apple have not really tapped into this part of the market fully. But I guess they didnt want to get lost in the crowd with the rest of the pmp's. Instead I guess they want to release something beyond the rest, like touch screen with video.

Oh and iWalk, well whos to say they dont want to release something a bit more upto date with an apple feel e.g. the click wheel on the screen that fades away when u move ** hand away from the screen.
 
Muahaha I'm saving up already.

You know this thing is gonna cost 350-400 quid. And probably only have 30-40gb. I mean its jus totally known that when some new technology comes out then its gonna suffer in some places (hard drive size) and then gain in others like a touch screen thats bigger but then the price tag goes up too.

Still hope to buy one.
