Ok, not much to say yet until I get a chance to explore Apple’s site once it gets updated. You can read about it just about everywhere. One thing I do find amusing though… Think Secret yesterday in their usual self assured way:

“The new iPod will feature similar dimensions to Apple’s iPhone, with which it will share the same display, but sources say the iPod will likely continue to sport a hard drive in place of Flash memory. Solid state media commands a roughly 15-fold price premium per gigabyte over a 1.8-inch hard drive, which is now available in substantial quantities at capacities up to 120GB.”

I guess what your sources “confirmed” wasn’t quite a confirmation now was it? I’m sure they’ll have a post soon taking credit for having predicted the iPod Touch (even though it was a given since the iPhone came out)

Yeah yeah, I know Think Secret are considered sacred to some but when they come out with comments like…

“The rumormill has been ripe with other speculation surrounding the features of the new iPod, some more far-fetched than others.”

…and then miss the boat completely, I call it fair game. I love the way they consider themselves above the “rumormill”. I wonder will they do their old trick of “the product was changed at the last minute”.

Ok, rant over.
