Touch Screen Video iPod Coming Soon?
Think Secret claims knowledge of a completely new version of the iPod whose main goal in life is video playback.
The new machine will reportedly have a 3.5-inch diagonal display and use a touch screen instead of the current click wheel.
Details concerning capacity of the device and release date aren't yet available, but according to the article release could be as early as late March or early April.

Touch screen sounds good- but I can't imagine they would cripple the music abilities to build a purely video ipod ("main goal in life...").
Surprised that it could come out so soon!

That SNL sketch with Jobs releasing a new model of iPod every 3 minutes or so is becoming less and less of a joke all the time.

Wow that would be cool! But i dont see Apple releasing something so soon after the 5G iPod. I mean I just got the thing.

If this comes bundled with a software solution for ripping DVDs I think it would be ridiculously successful. However, I don't think it will, so it will only be hugely successful. Apple will increase the number of videos sold via iTMS, and those of us in the know can rely on Handbrake for DVD ripping.
The only concern I have, is everyone's videos (including those on iTMS) are made for the resolution that the 5G iPod uses... Presumably the native resolution on this new device will be very different, will it support the lower res videos, or will everyone need a whole new collection of videos?

Ill take 3!!!
As to Chaszmyr note, If you want the resolution to be the same as the screen, then yes. But Ive watched 320x240 Lost episodes via the a/v cable on a 640x480 screen and it still looks perfect. No complaints here.:)

well the reason they can keep making them constantly is because people are just compulsive buyers. just because something new and flashy comes out, doesn't mean you need to get it right away. I know people that have like 4 or 5 ipods. All basically the same functions outside of a color screen.
