More Video iPod Reports - Now with Bluetooth?
MacNN reports on a research note released by American Technology Research. According to their analysts, Apple is indeed looking to replace their high end iPod with a new video iPod in the next quarter. New to the rumor is information that the new "widescreen video iPod' would come with Bluetooth headphones.
The addition of Bluetooth to the iPod has been long rumored as well. Apple has also filed patents depicting the use of a wireless iPod.
Apple has been widely expected to have some sort of product announcement surrounding their 30th anniversary (April 1, 2006), but no reliable confirmation has been received. A Page 2 rumor claims Apple is indeed holding a product event on April 1st, but this has not been corroborated.

I can't wait to find out precisely what apple has under its sleeve! Would it be a complete replacement for the 60GB? Or supplement it?

Bluetooth headphones ... they would be over the ear type not in ear correct? That would be different direction.
Wireless earbuds ... now that would be amazing.

So no Mac Books? :( All these rumors are pointing to some sort of handheld device: vpod, iphone, 'communication device'--take your pick. Common Steve, give your computers some love. Give us a killer new Mac Book. The current design is way too old (6,7 years?).

A very expensive device then! No wonder the 60gigs will be the only ones replaced by this iPod, if the rumours are true.

The 60GB is "at risk", so it would probably replace it. But knowing apple, anything could happen.
wireless headphones and transfers would be great. Don't have to deal with headphone cords and wires everywhere when i travel.:)

Perhaps the blue tooth will be an add on device?this would make it optional and cut the cost of the base pod.

I read something similar about the upcoming possibility of bluetooth compliant iPods, but nothing as extensive as including wireless headphones. For me, the prospect of wireless over-the-ear headphones is not necessarily enticing, but I would appreciate the functionality for a wireless sync with iTunes.
PS--What's with all the newbies excited to post where they posted? Seems more classy to act like you've been there before.
