Default Next Gen iPod

Have wanted an iPod since they first came out, am looking to get one this year now though.

Anyone know when the next generation is due out, anything confirmed???

Rumors are it'll have bluetooth aswell?? Think this is definately something worth paying a premium for. Wireless head phones, connect to car stereo, home stereo. Would be great!



Hoping the top model will keep below the £300 barrier, any more migh be hard to justify...

Would need to be at least 60GB aswell i think

Q1 2007 is the latest estimate - battery life with full screen video is causing some headaches (only rumours!).

Rumours are often just rumours Apple are espeically tough on rumour sites around consumer product launches.

We've not been tipped off but it makes sense that Apple will want to ramp up its development to put it leagues ahead of Microsofts rumpours iPod killer.

Perosnally having worked with Apple for 15 years I can't see anyone coming near to what they offer.

Hope the new one is better than my one. I've been really unimpressed with the thing (60gb photo)

Not seen anything, i've got the Nano and just use it in the car with the adaptor instead of a CD changer.

Was reading about various patents submitted by Apple recently regarding the next-gen iPod. Touch-screen replacing the click-wheel which senses your approaching finger and overlays the controls just in time Battery woes will be disregarded if they manage to implement solid state memory with a large enough capacity.
