I can't help myself. I enjoy seeing renderings of the rumored video iPod. This one is only an inch longer than the current model. Which, unfortunately, makes it perhaps too close to but not quite small enough to fit in a jeans pocket. No jokes please.
This Photoshopped version is compliments of Smash World. He says he's got a contact at Apple who knows the inside scoop and was willing to share what he knew in general.
He's talking about January which is what I'm guessing as a possible ship date for this baby. Even though I'm not sure this is an ideal set-up due to the excessive length, it's close similarity to the existing iPod makes it especially irresistible.
Apple is already selling music videos at the iTunes store. It seems only a matter of time before they sell you a device that can play those videos. I'm hoping they'll open up this whole space so that we can easily get affordable TV episodes and shorter free videos.
