Touchscreen Video iPod Delayed?
Sources speaking on condition of anonymity say issues emerged with the technology that have sent Apple and the display's manufacturer back to the drawing board to find a solution.
As a result, the final release date for the product remains uncertain, however, it is still expected by to be release in time for the 2006 holiday season.
As previously reported, the video iPod is expected to be launched alongside a movie-download service for iTunes. Apple is said to still be in negotiations about licensing content for this service.

(View all)Bring on the intel iBooks! (As well)
Of course, I say this being someone who is not in desparate need of a new iPod and is waiting for this device... ;) :cool:
I have a iPod w/video. Do we need another one so fast? Who knows. Just upsets everyone who just bought one.
Bring on the MacBook!
(how do you press a button that isn't there?
It's called touch screen technology.
and who wants finger grease on their video screen)
If Apple can develop an advanced device like this I'm sure they can come up with a solution that prevents finger grease from mucking up the screen.
also doesn't exsist, big surprise :rolleyes:
How can something that doesn't exist be delayed? :confused: It exists, it's just been delayed, plain and simple.
hopefully just a rumor, i sold my video so that i would be able to get one of these, hopefully coming out in April at the 30th anniversary, guess that didnt happen. hopefully they come out with it soon, a full screen video would be nice, it gets hard after a while to keep looking at that small screeen. I am waiting for Merom update in the Mac Book Pro, along with Leopard!!!
Looks like you and I are waiting for the exact same things. Add a few needed apps in UB too.Right. :rolleyes:
I think ThinkSecrect (TS's source) is just trying to explain why the "true" video iPod they said was coming out in March/April isn't.
This whole thing is getting more and more far fetched. Maybe this thread should be transfered to page 2 due to a lack of credibiliy.
Maybe TS should stick to the easy stuff. You know, "PowerMacs, additional MacBook models all to be released by the end of the year!" (Source: public speech by Steve Jobs). :D
my guess is that the back-to-the-drawingboard problem was probably something to do with static or interference or something similar that wouldnt show up in labs, only in pockets.
