Back and Forth: True Video iPod In December?

Wednesday October 18, 2006 12:30 pm PDT by longofest
TrustedReviews.com claims that an "extremely well informed exec" at a firm that makes "made for iPod" products has indicated that the "official 6G iPod" would be announced in December 2006. While we're not so sure how much we believe a "made for iPod" company (other than Apple) would be privy to this information, the report does echo a recent Engadget post quoting reliable sources saying that the "true video iPod" would be coming soon.

ThinkSecret, one of the most outspoken rumor sites on the upcoming product, has gone back and forth on the subject of when the new iPod would be introduced, most recently settling on an early 2007 timeframe.

A recap of some recent rumors on the "true" Video iPod:
- nVidia to produce the multimedia chip?
- eBook reader capability?
- Wireless capability?

How about announced in December, but shipping early next year and a million people try to carefully instruct their sibblings not to buy them an iPod for Xmas - but perhaps Apple Store vouchers instead :rolleyes:

This is something that I am really excited for. I want to be able to take all of my movies with me. My big question is if there will be a way to hook up to a television.

Well, they could announce it, and offer pre-order programs for apple.com and it would be important for offering Pre-Orders for the other major Ipod Retailers.

Never ending rumor, but that's what they are for.

Regardless, I would likely buy one just for geeking out with it on the subway. :D

It'd be really nice if it we actually TRUE this time.

My 3G ipod is barely holding a charge and I have been holding out for the "True Video Pod" before upgrading.

Well, we don't have a Thanksgiving weekend down here so it wouldn't matter for us. Nor do they have one in Europe or Asia. It's just the US/Canada that do Thanksgiving and even those are on different weekends.

Anytime before Christmas would be cool so long as it's not going to replace the whole iPod lineup because I'm damn sure I'm getting a 5.5G for my birthday in about 5 weeks time.

That's your question? Well, I've got good news for you. Yes, yes there will be a way. I haven't seen it for myself, but judging by the fact that the current iPod connects to a TV just fine, I'd say it's a safe bet the next one will too.
