What we think we know about the new iPods

We think we know that there is a new iPod Nano coming in the early Fall. I understand it is going to be offered in larger capacities like 8 and perhaps 10 GB and I believe it is likely to have bluetooth and possibly might be offered in different colors. There has been some talk of it supporting video but I don't think that is necessary on a small screen. Additionally, we know there is a new iPod video coming. The question is are there two iPod videos coming with different form factors?

Another Next Gen Ipod Video Pic (from factory floor?)

This is the latest image to surface on the supposed Ipod Video that popped onto the Internet this week. Have a look. This is definitely the same thing. Is it real?

Factory Photo of the New iPod Video

Is this a factory shot? You decide. It does resemble other factory images, but the color lines are suspect. Does anyone with real TV/video experience have any insight on this one?

Ipod HD Mockup


I like the title Ipod HD, it makes a little sense, but I am not sure if it would really be in HD.

Secret Ipod Mockup: Movie example


Another orientation showing what a film could look like. I wonder if Apple will beging introducing movies when this version comes out. Makes sense if the screen is more like a PSP screen.

Ipod mockup showing example of touch senstive window


It's unclear whether or not the orientation will be this way or horizontal, but this mockup shows how it could look. What are some good possible names? Ipod Extra? Ipod Large? Ipod Full? Would love to see suggestions in the comment section.

What do the numbers mean?


The question here is what do all the numbers suggest for the left hand side? width? composite?
