Apple revamped the entire iPod line last night.
iPod shuffle. New colours. Nice.
iPod Nano. New shape. Now supports video. Nice.
IPod classic. The old iPod shape and supports up to 160 GB. Nice
iPod touch. Basically an iPhone with wifi but without the phone bit. Or Google Earth. Or, oddly, an email client.
We’ve seen a whole raft of people producing IM applications in web-apps as well as natively for iPhone so we can expect their attention to turn to production of an email client for the iPod touch.
Whoodathunkit that producing an email client would again be exciting (or even relevant).
I’m getting an iPhone touch for Christmas. Woohoo!
Hurry up Santa!
Christmas pressy.
Also: if they drop a pdf viewer on it, and make pdf’s available on iTunes (AFAIK you can hold pdf files already in iTunes) then they, instantly, have the best eBook and infrastructure on the market – I’d love it.
I think they have disabled the touchPod in terms of not cannibalising the iPhone sales.
Leaving out Bluetooth would be sufficient I would think.
Leaving out email…well…
As I say – there’s room for innovation in email again!
A mail client wouldn’t be a big step towards cannibalising iPhone. Most people on the touch would check their web-based email anyhow. It would be easier to have a mail.app client. I’m also not too sure why apple didn’t enable disk use mode for the iPod Touch either???
Simply because they want to discourage hacks on the OS. The whole thing needs to be controlled…
