Could This be the Video iPod?

DailyTech has a photo of what they think might be the Video iPod.

These photos match up pretty well with the drawings from the US Patent and Trademark Office we posted a few weeks ago detailing a touch sensitive GUI for portable devices. Apple appears to be combining gestures into a form where a user will not have to use any form of clicking or pressing buttons. As it appears currently, the pictures indicate that users will be able to navigate the entire user interface by using gestures exclusively.

    Maybe I'll buy this. It could definitely be interesting.

    The only reason I didn't buy an iPod was because of the sound quality. Maybe (just maybe) they'll up the ante with this one, but I kind of doubt it. Hopefully they also increase the color depth with this.

    They're gonna need to invent a forcefield to keep that screen clear, though. Damn.

    Hmm... the characters on the plug to the right are in simplified Chinese and they say "this side" or "here".

    Clearly it's not real, as we now have an iPod video on the market.

    There hasnt been any new information on this iPod since May 15, so I highly doubt that it will come out on the market, if it does it wont be for a while because they are still figuring out all the bugs!

    The thread was created to speculate about the original video iPod back in February. There is no one trying to figure anything out about a 'new' video iPod currently... there's no rumour. Remember to double check dates before posting, mate ;)
