When would the new iPod actually be out?
Hey all,
So I'm in the market for a new iPod, and I know the WWDC starts August 7.
So, what I'd like to know is, do you actually think the new iPod is going to be announced next month?
And, If they do announce a new iPod, when would it actually be out?
Finally, I've been reading about no-touch iPods, bigger screens, longer battery life, and wireless headphones, what do you personally think will be in the 6G iPod?
And finally, so do you think I should wait? I don't want to.

Wait for WWDC if nothing is announced then wait some more.
New Nano's this year > yes
New Shuffle's this year > yes
New iPod's this year > yes
None thouch this year > not so sure
6G Video this year > not so sure
Just my opinion of what's likely, that is all.
Paris Expo - Maybe.
Release w/o Event - Possibly.
There is no way Apple would release an iPod at a DEVELOPER'S CONFERENCE. It just isn't going to happen.

I'm glad you asked us, because, in fact, we all know precisely when it will be out.
Why do people make comments like this? So you don't think it's possible for us to guesstimate a release date. I think your idea sucks, we don't know so let's not talk about it.

We'll see soon enough, but I'd be willing to bet 10 bucks your wrong.

If I was a developer who paid 2,000$ for developer info, I'd be guite disappointed if they used WWDC spotlight for iPod, which so far has been out of developers reach.

What's ten bucks among friends, anyway you never know with Apple.

Because I enjoy threads that don't repeat the content of 50 other threads that came to the same conclusion?
Also, this gem:

its odd Ireland me dear that you have made a number of your posts look equally prophetic.
As far as the 6G iPod goes, the latest thing on the new one is that it will have an eBook reader function added (Apple has just ordered a publisher to send Apple copies of every book they have, that has to mean something book related so there's probably an iTunes Book Store to go with it.)
At first I was freaking out because it refused to transfer photos and gave me an error, but I fixed it.
I've already ripped The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy to it, good movies.
I'm looking into the iSkin Claro, it looks like a good protector for it.

Ireland, where's my $10? ^_^
what i don't like about new, redesigned ipods: hard to find in stores (shortages), they may exhibit problems (scratches and who knows what else) and lack of accessories (or lack of compatibility with older ones)
