“Don’t even think about buying an iPod between now and Sept. 5. Apple has invited the press to a ‘special event’ next week in San Francisco. And as usual, Apple won’t say what it plans to announce. Or much of anything,” Brian Caulfield reports for Forbes.
“Apple’s new iPod, or iPods, could include many of the features introduced with Apple’s iPhone June 29, such as a large, touch-sensitive display, which isn’t available on today’s iPods (unless you count the iPhone). And it could sport an aluminum skin, to better match the metal and glass sheathed iPhones and iMacs introduced over the past few months,” Caulfield reports.
“Under its shiny new skin, new hardware and software, such as a slimmed down version of Apple’s OS X operating system and a flash memory drive, instead of the current iPod’s mechanical hard drive, could keep the new device thin and light. And if Apple jams a Wi-Fi receiver into the device the new software could allow the iPod to include the ability to browse the Web and send and receive e-mail,” Caulfield reports.
Caulfield reports, “But in truth, Apple could be introducing anything music related. Jobs once summoned the press to Cupertino to cover the surprise launch of a set of iPod speakers.”
