According to my dad, who is a HUGE Apple geek and a member of various fan forums for Apple products, Steve Jobs is going to announce a new iPod next week. It's really just a rumor at this point, but he's been right before.
I remember three years ago he said there was a rumor that Apple was developing a phone. Well, that just came out this year. And he's been right about other rumors in the past, too.
If a new iPod IS announced, and then released soon after, I'm buying it.
Probably not hard to make another iPod...
It's just another fucking mp3 player.
Anyone can do that shit, what's so great about the iPod?
What other feature could an iPod have, they've sort of covered everything....

Maybe it'll hold more songs, because everybody knows more than 100 songs and likes them. </sarcasm>
Apple has done anything electronic related already though, almost anything somewhat reasonable would be true. Apple has made a game console (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pippin), TV to computer video player, phone, MP3 player, computer, etc, blah blah blah.
I'd like to see another iPod so I can snatch up someone's older 80gb iPod or buy the new one.

I love each and every Opeth song, and know them mostly by heart, not he lyrics really, just the actual song. Opeth alone has 64 songs and is coming out with a new album this year. I think most everyone who listens to a lot of music knows at least 100 bands and likes them all.
Maybe not off the top of their head though.

Whole screen iPod, full touch screen, thinner, faster, sleeker, pretty much the iPhone with 80gbs or more and without the phone or wifi crap.
Apple has already confirmed it. The event is on September the 5th, and the title of the event is "The Beat Goes On"
If they're not releasing a touch-screen iPod nano, I will personally jump off a cliff and shoot myself mid-air.

Apple releases a better version of what they already released the year before, its how they make you Mac fags happy.

That's actually how they lose a lot of their customers. Think about the people who bought the white iMacs.

I wouldn't know anything about the white iMacs, explain please. I knew they'd release a new iPod, just kinda waiting for me to get the money and the release. I got my iPod stolen as I stated years ago.

The people who bought the white iMacs got fucked up the ass, at least the ones who bought them towards the end. The new iMacs got processor upgrades and are a huge bang for your buck.
yeah it has been rumored.

And it's about the same price, ami rite?
I hate that about Apple, it's like you have to buy it the day it's announced so that you know you get it when it's worth it. If you buy it 6+ months after it's released Apple might release or announce something better FOR THE SAME PRICE.

Think about this:
If you had 1500 dollars to spend before they released the new ones, you got a 2.16GHz Processor and a 250 gigabyte hard drive.
Now? You get a 2.40 GHz Santa Rosa Processor and a 320 Gigabyte Hard drive psyduck;

BOTH OF THOSE ARE OVERPRICED OH GOD.
I'll be fine with my 8800 graphics card for $1000

I wouldn't mind paying 1500. You get a 20-inch Monitor with the ability to run every single operating system out there, an HD Graphics Card, and it's all built into one sleek package.

I'm buying a monitor with my computer too, I'm getting a dual monitor setup caterpie;
19 inches, and it can run games, any game pretty much ever. I'm getting ready for Starcraft 2. My graphics card will be of course "HD" or dual DVI outputs

Cool
So can the MacBook Pro spam;
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?family=MacBookPro
Yeah, mine will be 8800, have 500+gbs hard drive space, two 19 inch monitors, 4gbs of ram, and maybe two DVD burners so I can copy DVDs a lot faster. And it'll cost $1800 less. If you have the money, why not buy a MacBook Pro, even if you don't get the best video card, 200gbs less of hard drive space, and 2 inches less, and of course 1 less monitor, BUT IT'S PORTABLE. I have a decent laptop that my family shares when we go to hotels so I have no need of a laptop, especially when my desktop is a lot nicer.
I don't have the money for that, and if I did, I'd buy something more useful to me.
Also why is the standard amount of ram so low with such a good graphics card? Thats retarded. And don't tell me it's because Mac uses less ram then Windows, because the graphics card is obviously for a video game and boot camp, but the ram isn't enough at all.
Unless I'm reading it wrong.
