'Actual' Video iPod in 2006?
Analyst Charles Wolf reports that he expects new product introductions by Apple to accelerate in 2006 and the Intel-transition will "materially" increase Mac sales.
Also expected is an "actual" video iPod in the first half of this year, along with "major content deals" alongside a revamped Mac mini.
Its unclear if these expectations represent actual knowledge, it may more simply represent educated speculation based on previous rumors.

We would not be surprised to see the Mac mini assume its rightful place in the living room as a digital entertainment server.

Gotta love analysts! :D
Can't say a full video iPod would interest me, only because it would see no use due to my commuting. The current iPod is fine for my needs.
And can anyone clarify the "materially" increase Mac sales? Am I right to assume he is infereing it as a superficial increase due to the switch to Intel?

i dunno.. with the psp out, i mean apple already has the ipod that can "handle" video as in simple tv shows and what not.. now if they are going to make a specific "video/movie" ipod, i don't think they will call it ipod.. perhaps media center or something of that nature

Maybe Jobs wasn't joking about that huge ass ipod he mentioned in the keynote...

what does "actual" mean, does this mean that the device will be devoted solely to video?

4.5" Wide Screen iPod here we come! :) maybe sideways on the body like the PSP.

Could be a real exciting year - tons of new products, and some serious competition with Dell and other Wintel box makers.

I think it's be a bad idea. Look at the Archos, it is out for how many years, 4-5? And who cares?!?!
The device gotta do much more than just playing video or music. People won't buy it over a PSP just because it has the Apple logo. Or who knows... :eek:

Dunno about the dimensions, but I think that's pretty much what I had in mind. No idea about the controls though. On-screen scroll wheel? Located on the edges?
I still believe this will have limited appeal... but definitely don't quote me on that :D

He doesn't say. What he does say, without specifics, is that the first iPod line that handles video may be a "holdover" while better models are in the works.[ Read All Comments ]
