Apple's 'Surprise and Shine' iPhone Event: Follow along with our live blog.
The cover of the upcoming issue of Newsweek, dated July 26, 2004, will apparently feature Steve Jobs holding an updated, previously rumored iPod with this text:
Steve Jobs and The Must-Have Music Player Everyone Is Talking About iPod, Therefore i Am
The new iPod shows incorporation of the iPod Mini's pushbutton scrollwheel design, removing the 3G iPod's row of 4 control buttons above the wheel. Size seems comparable to 3G models, while price is expected to decrease.
