1000 songs again

Email This Entry

Posted by Sandy

1000 songs in your pocket changed everything. Here we go again.The invitation to next week's Apple event (pictured here) has given just enough clues to build a big buzz about whatever the company plans to announce.

The story that's taken hold is that Apple and Motorola will introduce the long-rumored iTunes phone next week. Some also expect to see a new iPod with 4 GB of flash memory storage. (This could be a replacement for the current iPod mini or an addition to the iPod shuffle line. Or the iTunes phone could have 4 GB of storage space. Or..?)

Could a new telephone handset really have the same market disrupting potential as the original iPod? We'll see.

Another Apple event, another rumor storm. Here we go again.

What seems the most intriguing to me, seeing this picture, is that what is fully pictured isn't the main pocket, but the small one … implying that whatever is announced should fit in it, which seems to me to exclude the Motorola iTunes phone, which is way too big to fit in. Even a current shuffle would be slightly too long to properly fit such a small pocket …
