With all the hype surrounding the iPhone, all talks have been virtually silenced regarding an updated or revamped iPod. However, ThinkSecret claims to have received a tip that Apple is secretly developing the new 6G iPod which could debut the same time as the iPhone.
Though the original anonymous tipper claimed the new iPod would be released tomorrow (a bit of a stretch, considering how quickly word travels throughout the Apple community), word on the street is no such debut will hit the newswaves…yet.
It is quite plausible that Apple has completed their next generation of iPods; the touch screen technology now being toted in the iPhone will most likely make an appearance in a plain ole’ iPod sometime in the very near future; frankly, slap that touch screen on the current size of iPod, make a few OS switches, and you have your much-coveted widescreen touch-sensitive iPod.
On the flip side, it seems doubtful that Apple will really do anything to distract their current flock of iPhone worshipers from their obsession; I think we can count on hearing zilch until June.
Realistically Apple will stagger the release of the new iPod a season after the iPhone’s release. Why release fall of ‘07?
1. A fall release will allow the hype surrounding the iPhone to climax as the new tool hits the market; adopters will have plenty of time to lust and indulge before considering a new iPod.
2. A fall release will leave enough time for the old iPods to be phased out prior to the Christmas season, so new iPods will be “in.” (Consider this: Apple may have a stranglehold on the Christmas tech scene with a new iPod and iPhone…those who aren’t interested in the phone side of the iPhone can get their touch-screeniness)
I would be willing to bet my pennies (and they are few, so don’t even bother accepting) that the next iPod is sitting cozily in a few gargantuan warehouses, just waiting for their bigger iPhone brother to hit the scene. Ok, well maybe just a few completed production models. However, the changes to the iPod won’t be any more revolutionary than what’s coming packed in the iPhone, so you can hold your breath as we await the next iPod.
Note: the image above is a great artistic rendition of a touchscreen iPod taken from The Big Picture, not an actual touchscreen iPod ad (as if).
