But Does It Come in HD?

WHATEVER

There was an interesting article at CNN.com today about rumors that Apple is about to discontinue the 60Gb video iPod. Why is this interesting? Because another rumor says they are going to be replacing it with a "wide-screen video iPod with Bluetooth headphones." According to Think Secret, "Apple's forthcoming "true" video iPod will feature a 4-inch display with a quarter-inch border." And here's the coolest part. "It features a digital click wheel, one that overlays the touch-sensitive display and appears when a finger touches it and disappears when the finger is removed."

Obviously, Apple is looking to do for video content what it did for digital music. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like CEO Steve Jobs is having any luck making a deal with movie studios that mirrors the so-simple-it's-genius $.99 a song/$9.99 an album plan he cut with the recording industry that literally changed the way people listen to music.

Expect an announcement around April 1, Apple's 30th anniversary as a company.

I saw a picture last week on some blog. Looked pretty cool. I try to figure out where that was and link to the picture.

Thanks to chill for tipping me about the picture. Should have checked for that in the first place.
