soundwave05 said:I think now would be a bad time to buy a 5G iPod. The 6G is almost definitely going to come out this year, most likely using this same interface that the iPhone does. If you were going to get a 5G you should have got one sometime last year.
It will also bring Apple's overall costs down if they order more of those 3.5 inch touchscreens for both the iPhone and iPod in the future. However ... I wouldn't expect the 6G until like November, maybe even later.
Thats in 9 months. Its ridiculous to think someone who wants something now should wait 9 months because something better is coming along. If it was next month, thats something else entirely. But its clear thats its not in the near future, and anyone who wants an ipod now should feel safe investing in the 5G. When the 6G comes out, which will most definitely rape the 5G on features and sexiness, the previous can always be sold, etc. But its not happening anytime soon.
On a differnt note, seeing how Google and Apple are close, they better come out with a plugin/update that would allow picasa to communicate with iTV. I have around 20,000 photos there. And again, if the thing cannot access anything outside of itunes, its officially complete garbage. Hopefully its like frontrow and can access folders.
