iPod Line-up leaked from Taiwan – and the Beat goes on
One of my co-bloggers over at CNET Asia, Jonathan Gardner, reports on a Digitimes article regarding the apparent leaking of Apples new iPod line-up, before the big announcement is officially made.
Apple has scheduled a big event for tomorrow, titled “The Beat goes on.”
According to the Digitimes article listed above, here are some details of what to expect from the new iPod line-up:
- iPod Video – Widescreen, an operating interface similar to the iPhone, built-in Wi-Fi connectivity
- iPod Nano – Increased storage capacity, iPhone-like interface, price to remain unchanged
- iPod Shuffle – Increased storage capacity, price to remain unchanged
But even more interesting, is what some are speculating about this event.
Will they finally release the Beatles catalogue for iTunes?
Will Steve Jobs reunite surviving Beatles members Paul and Ringo for the event?
It’s worth noting that Apples tag line for the event, “The Beat goes on,” is the exact same as the final words on the Beatles last press release:
When the spinning stops — that’ll be the time to worry, not before. Until then, the Beatles are alive and well and the beat goes on, the beat goes on.
Update: As expected, new iPod nanos. I like to call ‘em the fatty.
And the phoneless iPhone, the new iPod Touch:
No Beatles talk however. So that speculation was all for naught…
