I've been holding these images since back in March of this year and had assumed that the Apple press conference would unveil it. But that didn't happen, instead Apple talked about other things - some interesting some not so. I hear a lot of people talking garbage against the iPod and recently people have said the Zune is going to be the "iPod killer"......you people haven't a clue....
Playing Ice Age 2. (see that squirrel thing?)
The main new feature to the iPod is the touch-screen. This now covers the entire face and a "virtual" click-wheel operates using the touch-sensitivity. This allows for movies etc. to be seen on the largest space possible. Once a music track or film has been selected, the click-wheel fades and will return once the screen is touched again - hence the "virtual"
I can't say when this will be out or details on HDD space, resolution or other specs; but I can say iPod is on top of their game and the anti-tend people need to get off their high horses.
