So.....when do we get new iPods?
Not that I expected to see any new iPods at the WWDC...but I WAS hoping for em since I'm just around the corner from replacing my ol' 2g.
Here's what I want to know: the big iPod just seems due for more than a minor update soon and there was pretty reasonable speculation that they would come this summer. I think they actually said 2nd quarter '05. I'm talking about the rumors saying it'd drop the white motif for brushed metal, go all color, etc. But that was awhile back. So what's the latest info on this? (Or lacking info I suppose I'll take guesses.)
In my mind new iPods have gotta be coming in the next 3-4 months (and I'm not talking about the 4gig shuffle talk). So lets pretend that's true...will Apple just release them any week now or will they make me wait until the September Expo?
Btw I figure if Apple was real smart and planned ahead they would want to start releasing neat new products REAL SOON to distract the naysayers (and stockmarket players) who think the whole "Intel inside" idea stinks.

(sorry to get off track a bit) but new??? i mean... yea, i guess its been some time since a nice 20+GB update ipod has come out.... but ive seen a lot of buyers go for a mini so i wouldnt be surprised if they came out w/ a mini update despite the fact they came out w/ the 6GB not too long ago....
Anybody know when the first 4g iPods came out? It's been much longer than a year, hasn't it? (Macrumors buying guide lists ALL iPods together so I can't tell what came out when.) They've got to update that style soon to keep iPods at the top of their game.

If I remember correctly its been a little less than a year. I believe the 4Gs came out sometime last summer, I'm guessing July. Defintly time for an update

You should expect iPods In July.
Yeah, that's sounds most likely to me too. I'm thinking it'd be before either xmas or back-to-school, and xmas is just too far away...
Strange though that there haven't meen many rumblings about the big iPod lately.
We'll see...

I think you mistyped...it's actually JUNE 28 (which would be even better of course). But I doubt they'd use this as a venue for product releases. Looks like Apple just offers short workshops on various products. However I've never heard of NECC so what do I know?
