Report: Apple to debut 16GB flash-based video-capable iPod in September
Monday, August 06, 2007 - 09:05 AM EDT

"Apple is said to be about to unveil its NAND flash-based iPod video in late September, which may aggravate the currently observed NAND flash shortages, according to sources at Taiwan-based component makers," Josephine Lien and Esther Lam report for DIGITIMES.

"The new iPod video will use NAND flash as the major storage media, and will have a storage density of 16GB, according to the sources," Lien and Lam report.

I want a touch screen iPod

First!!

Aug 06, 07 - 09:14 am Comment from: JD

Unless it's an iPhone sans phone, I don't want one. My nano will be fine until they give me an iPhone-based iPod.

Nothing is more boring than some bored fucktard posting about being bored.

How bored do you have to be to post about being bored?

Hint: Headlines have a purpose. Skip the ones that happen to "bore" you.

Only 16GB? I was hoping to replace my 3G 15GB iPod with something worthy of the video options that Apple offers.

@ Tired of Retards

What a BORING post!

Nothing is more boring than some than some fucktard posting about being tired of people posting about being bored with rumored product upgrades.

How bored do you have to be to post about being tired of retards who are bored?

Aug 06, 07 - 09:40 am Comment from: Entire MDN Community

Retard,

You are a retard. ToR's "hint" is the most important bit of his post - which you missed totally - - because you are retarded.

Aug 06, 07 - 09:43 am Comment from: @ Retard

Aug 06, 07 - 09:55 am Comment from: bruce

These may be the most ironic or the most ignorant posts ever.

Okay. not really.

I had nothing better to do, sad isn't it.

Aug 06, 07 - 09:57 am Comment from: just getting started

now, if we could find out if "bored retard" is a neocon or a tree hugger, we could get some real non mac posting heated up.

Ahhh more hit whoring for mdn...

16 gig of flash...

why in my day, 20 meg was bigger than two bricks and the chord was too short to carry it around.

You kids have easy.

Aug 06, 07 - 09:57 am Comment from: Yebot

Sounds like this is the new nano. I wonder what the the real iPod will look like.

Aug 06, 07 - 10:25 am Comment from: Gandalf

If it's boring you should know what the drill is by now.

Aug 06, 07 - 10:34 am Comment from: Peter's Son

@Entire World Community

Listen, you don't know the history of boredom, I do.

Aug 06, 07 - 10:45 am Comment from: Twisted Mac Freak

And I thought coal miners and oil platforms were boring.

Aug 06, 07 - 10:47 am Comment from: Twisted Mac Freak

" . . . and the chord was too short to carry it around."

Was it a flat chord?

Aug 06, 07 - 11:03 am Comment from: Ray

I hope they will still offer high capacity iPods for those of us that own an iPod for it's non Sony PSP functions.

Just my $0.02

Aug 06, 07 - 11:16 am Comment from: AshNazg

@ Entire Universe Community

You think YOU know boredom?

BTW, I love my new iPhone!

Aug 06, 07 - 11:27 am Comment from: iMaki

They had better do something great. AAPL stock has tanked $15 per share in last couple weeks. Tomorrow's event better be earthshaking!

Aug 06, 07 - 11:37 am Comment from: Steve Jobs

Tomorrow I will announce a cold fusion-powered iPod/iPhone/MacBook/GPS/laser pointer/douche/safety whistle/Swiss Army Knife combination device. I will call it . . .

This doesn't make much sense in the current context of the iPod line. Why would Apple create a 16GB flash, "video-capable" iPod? The only way they could do this is if they are also planning on updating the full-size iPod line as well. Apple traditionally has differentiated the iPod line using storage capacity, primarily, with the secondary differentiation coming from features.

I can see a major update to the whole iPod line coming in October/early November and I see it looking something like this:

- 2GB/4GB iPod shuffle (flash, screenless)
- 8GB/16GB iPod nano (flash, capable of video now, still employing the clickwheel)
- 40GB/100GB iPod (HD-based, iPhone minus phone capability)

Apple likes this kind of differentiation in it's products because a clear hierarchy is formed and there are clear advantages to purchasing the next product up the food chain. In short, what is now the 5.5 Gen. iPod will become the 3rd Gen. iPod nano, and the iPod itself will change into an iPhone (minus phone capabilities, and maybe a few other features). Where this leaves the iPhone, I don't know.

Plausible? Agree or disagree?
