The rumors say that a new Apple iPod is on the horizon. From what I’ve been hearing and have read, it will offer consumers some of the many features of the iPhone with out having the added expenses of AT&T service.
The really good news is that the new iPod should be on the market LONG before the holiday shopping season gets underway. This means that the prices could come down some before the holiday crunch. The iPhone prices dropped dramatically just a few, short weeks after being introduced - prompting cries of unfair from consumers and an issue of a “rebate” from Steve Jobs.
The iPod is great for storing lots of musical information in a small space. The new iPods - with all the additional iPhone like features - should prove to be an enticing stocking stuffer for some consumers.
One of the best new features will likely be the new touch panel and high resolution screen. The screens will most likely smaller than the iPhone, but much larger than the past iPods. It is likely that storage will go up, but that WiFi connections will be held back for the more expensive iPhone.
