iPod Predictions
It’s pretty much definite that Apple’s going to update their iPod lineup sometime from September to November. What are they going to do? Here are my predictions:
- They will start using OS X to power the iPods.
- The iPod Shuffle will stay as-is, though the price may drop.
- The 30GB and 80GB iPods will have MultiTouch screens on the front instead of clickwheels.
- The Nano will receive some updates, but will mainly look the same. The pricing may come down and/or the storage capacity may increase.
- The “Fat iPod” seen online (before Apple sent a take-down notice) will be a midrange model between the Nano and Hard Drive models. Maybe an iPod Mini reincarnation?
- Some models (not the Nano) will have Wi-Fi support. The wireless abilities could be used in a Zune-like manner (only better), as well as for syncing. Though it would be cool if you could buy iTunes tracks at hotspots, but it’s unlikely unless Apple starts letting you move songs from iPod to computer.
- The MultiTouch iPod may be like a phoneless iPhone (a.k.a. the Ultimate iPod). I hope it is.

I wasn’t too surprised when they released the ‘Touch, and happy that they did. It’s easily the best in the lineup right now, unless you want massive amounts of storage space. The Nano’s good if all you want is music, but I really like being able to use my iPod to hop onto WiFi networks when I’m out doing things.
