New iPod Next Week? But No Video iPod?

Since Apple sent out media invitations for a special announcement on October 12th, the rumor mill has been buzzing. There have been reports of a video iPod, an Airport Express with Video, as well as PowerMac and Powerbook updates.

ThinkSecret amends their earlier PowerMac/Powerbook rumor report with some further details of the upcoming media event.

According to the rumor site, Apple will be delivering an iPod update alongside Pro Mac updates... but ThinkSecret reports that Apple will not be delivering a Video-capable iPod. This is contrary to a recent claim by Appleinsider.

The new iPod will boost storage capacity to 80GB as well as what appears to be minor cosmetic and interface changes. ThinkSecret maintains that there will be no Video iPod, which is in concordance with historic comments by Steve Jobs.

Meanwhile, PowerMac and Powerbook updates are still expected but details are still limited.

Maybe they'll be updating all their hard drive-based iPods so that they have video functionality. So there wouldn't be an actual iPod video release. Just new iPods with that function built in.

Okay, I'm just hungry. Forget it. :D

These rumor sites can't just keep giving me things, and then taking them away. That's mean.

Finally, the 80gb iPod I've been waiting for... although I will continue to wait until the price drops as it always does after 6 months or so. Be interesting to also see if they've fixed those distortion problems in the earlier Photos...

I will continue to suffer with the burden of my 4th 40gb iPod. ;)

Uhh yeah, or not :p

This is interesting... No bluetooth in the iPod, and no video playback.. What are they planning on doing to make it worth an update?


The new PowerMacs with DDR2 are gonna make me jealous though :(
