    Know ones knows for sure, but I think the majority believe that when apple introduces the 5G iPod, it'll be time for an iPod mini upgrade, which will probably include a color screen. Fall 2005 as a good timeframe, Paris Expo since Apple may not want to focus on its computer lines all that much??????? Who knows!

    You have to remember that the iPod mini with color screen would be expected (by consumers) to have the same functionality as its big brother -- i.e. photo viewing.



    Right now, the iPod mini is a "dumbed down" version of the iPod. A lot of the accessories out there will not work with the mini because Apple hasn't configured it to be able to.



    I agree that if it's going to happen, it will have to be a 5G version, however I'm still skeptical about that. With increased storage and all the functionality of an iPod -- but smaller, it could cannibalize sales of the iPod.
