DigiTimes: Wednesday will see a Widescreen iPod with multi-touch and Wi-Fi
Happy labor day!
The title of this article says it all really. The rumors are flying in the far-east and DigitTimes is reporting about it.
The article claims that the "The new iPod video will also come with a wide-screen panel, high storage capacity and Wi-Fi connectivity, the sources indicated. In addition, the new iPod video is expected to be powered by NAND flash, instead of a hard disk drive (HDD)."
There will also be a new iPod nano and iPod Shuffle. The widescreen iPod is being built by Inventec Appliances. The previous iPod was manufactured by Quanta. We wonder what the deal is with the change but it could just be supply and demand taking effect here.
The iPod nano is built by Foxconn and the iPod shuffle by Asustek.
Just how much NAND flash will the new iPod have remains to be seen. Can Apple actually put 60 gigs of NAND flash into an iPod, add in a large screen and wi-fi AND keep it affordable? Maybe. Luckily for us, Wednesday is around the corner!
