iPod with Color Display and Bluetooth?

DAPreview.net reports on what initially seems to be an incidental finding... in which Apple changed the name of the iPod Photo User Guide PDF from "iPod_photoUserGuide" to "iPod_with_color_display_User's_Guide".

This distinction is not a new naming convention and is listed in Apple's "Identifying Different iPod Models" support document as an alternative name for the iPod Photo - "also known as iPod with color display".

However, we have indeed heard reports that Apple's iPod line will advance in the future, phasing out the iPod Photo designation by trickling down color displays in the core lineup of iPods. Also reported has been rumors that Bluetooth and Rendezvous (now Bonjour) enabled iPods have been making the testing rounds.

Bluetooth enabled iPods have been hinted at for some time now.

How much bulk will bluetooth and a color screen add to the current iPod?? The iPod photo is already huge.

Lets hope that they'll announce them by the end of the year. I'm just waiting for the 5G iPod before I get my first one.

I don't think dropping the "photo" part of the name is that big of a surprise. With the next revisions, I would expect the entire big iPod line to have color screens. The thing I don't see as viable is the Bluetooth. You certainly can't sync your library over BT. The only viable thing I see with BT might be syncing calender, address book and Notes.

This sounds great as I would love to see a blue tooth enabled iPod but can someone tell me what a Rendezvous enabled iPod would be?

Couple this with Airport Express and you've got one hell of a system :)
