Rumors about the iPod redesign
According to Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg, Apple is planning a redesign of the entire iPod line, the most famous MP3 players.
Kevin posted the news, that he claims he obtained through unnamed sources, and this leaked photo on his blog on Saturday, 23rd.
The summary of the changes that Kevin obtained are the following:
- Revamp of entire iPod line.
- Small cosmetic changes to Touch, Nano to see significant redesign.
- iPods to see fairly large price drops to distance itself from the $199 iPhone.
- iPod touch 2.1 software, iPhone to get update very soon after.
- iTunes 8.0 (“it’s a big update w/new features”).
- All of this coming in the next 2-3 weeks.
On the YouTube video, reachable from the Kevin’s post, we “learn” more details, like the iPod Nano that will have a small wide screen and it will have a rounded shape. The iPod Touch will receive little design changes, but the biggest news is that it will use the 2.1 version of the software.
Kevin claims that the iTunes software will merit the version number upgrade as it will have many new features and functionalities.
