New iPods?

[sneeks]

Will we hopefully see a new iPod tomorrow with the OS interface of the iPhone but minus the phone functionality? I hope so cause I'd rather own one of those than the complete iPhone package which I fear will not be altered to suit the UK market.

 

[BioHzrd]

Wait for the Zune !!!!

 

[timmmah]

Why tommorow?

 

[b3nje]

are they not touch screen and have wifi?

 

[Gareth]

interesting, I was thinking of ordering a U2 iPod soon.

 

[sneeks]

Why tommorow?

Apple are holding a press conference tomorrow where they apparently plan to make several big announcements. The next gen iPod's are meant to be part of the presentation and will feature the iPod Touch. Touch screen and wifi have been rumoured.

Wait for the Zune !!!!

why wait they have been available for import through the ebay and loads of places for months and months. I bought one and sold it as they are IMO inferior to the ipod by far

 

[spirez]

Zune, is that the square blocky plasticy thing?

 

[Rasclart]

Yeah

 

[sneeks]

The new Creative Zen looks quite good.

The Apple press conference is today at 6pm UK time.

 

[furry_cup]

no news on this yet then?

 

[sneeks]

Not till after 6pm. It better not turn out to be hype over nothing

 

[Christopher]

[cosmicremedy]

According to this..

iPhone II

 

[J182]

b****cks just bought an Iphone in preparation for the unlocking software release, oh well!

 

[sneeks]

Yeah a UK iPhone announcement was expected today too, it'll be interesting to see if they have added 3G and MMS for the UK market.

 

[bendee]

when is the iphone meant to be coming out? i want a new phone and like the idea of it.

 

[Dansta]

but it'l be the same phone right? just set up with the uk software and updates?

oh... ZZzzz that doesnt interest me!

I think it needs a change of hardware to make it compatible with 3G.

The release date is expected to be announced today, if it's like the American release earlier this year then that happened 4 weeks after the press conference.

 

[sneeks]

My hopes have been answered, a iPod that looks like the iPhone and has a wifi capable web browser included 16gb - $399 and a 8gb - $299

New versions of the Nano and classic iPod also available immediately. The Nano now includes video playback.

Apple has just annouced the new iPods.
New iPod nano that does video as well
New iPod which is now called iPod Classic made out metal and with 80GB or 160GB storage
New iPod touch which is an iPhone without a phone

[Red Cup]

Would it be greedy to have a 16GB Touch, a 160GB classic and an iPhone?

 

[sneeks]

No that sounds reasonable to me Nice to see the prices have dropped for the Nano

 

[furry_cup]

awesome!

 

[j6 pkp]

liking the new nano's, might have to sell mine and get one!
also on the link above, apparently sony are dropping prices of 80gb ps3 by the end of the year, $499/£253ish!

 

[sneeks]

The iPhone has dropped in price in America to $399 from $599, the 4gb version is now discontinued.

Now I have to decide if I buy the 8gb iPhone or a 16gb iPod Touch as they are both the same price. If I buy the Touch then I'll get the new SE k850i phone.

 

[Dansta]

hate that they've put so little memory on the touch! tut! skank! i love apple but i know i'll be pissed in 3 months when a bigger memory/thinner version comes out.

 

[Gareth]

cool

 

[Revels]

Im going to have to get a Touch. I have no need for it and hardly use my nano but like thats going to stop me! lol

 

[sneeks]

£199 for the iPod Touch

[Rasclart]

Those photos made me hard. I think I need ALL of them!

 

[bigpoppa81]

i would love a 160gb but thats just madness! ive just got a 30gb video and im having trouble filling that, ive already got all the songs i want on it, the full first series of lost, and heros, and about 6 films, and i still have 11gb left, so i would waste my money with a 160gb ipod.


im going to LA in 2 weeks so i could be tempted to get a ipod touch cos the pound to dollar rate is good at the moment.

 

[biojo]

the ipod touch looks mint but 16 gig isnt enough 30-60 and i`d have considered getting one.

fancy gettin me an ipod nano while your there? lol

 

[Gareth]

i can get the iPod Touch 8GB for £186.83 and the 16GB for £252.63 through work, not bad! Shame I've just spent £300 elsewhere, could have ordered one.

 

[Rich]

Can you get me a cheap 16GB touch please ? !

 

[Munday]

I am just hoping I can get the iPhone around Xmas time when my contract is up. After playing with one in the States I want one!

 

[sneeks]

I think the European iPhone announcement is due on the 25th September, I'll hold off on buying the Touch until I hear what deals will be available on the iPhone.
