wouldnt suprise me..4g has been around for a while now ..they probably are ready to implement a new ipod with better battery life, video(?) etc etc..

perhaps even a 2g shuffle will be around the corner also..

all speculation of course.

They need to make some reason to buy a new iPod available soon or else their stock price will really start to take a beating.

not sure about that. then they would be venturing into the Personal Media Player market. they would have to make the screen/unit bigger and add more features. and increase the price to make up for it.

i think the next major feature will be user replaceable batteries. adding an FM tuner would be good. there aren't that many HD players on the market that has an FM tuner.

iPhone is due out soon. Apparently the latest update to iTunes contains features that support a mobile phone device.

apple doesn't sell upgrades.

ugrades are free.

if you are paying for something, it is a complete install of a fully functioning OS.

I kind of think this should be its own thread, but I hate making new topics...
What Podcasts are you guys listening to that on iTunes?

The ones I look forward to are:
On the Media NPR/WNYC
Dawn and Drew Show
and This Week in Tech.

Make a new topic...I tried to house music ones and promptly fell asleep when I listened to them at the pool.

Music ones suck if they don't announce the songs or give a track listing.

The case of my mac at work came in handy over this weekend. The basement, where I work, was flooded, and the raised bottom of the mac kept the machine nice and dry.
