Think Secret is reporting that on Wednesday, October 12, Apple will deliver new Pro machines, and new iPods. The iPods will not be able to do video playback, however. The iPods will get a storage boost to 80 gigabytes. Because of the popularity of the black iPod nano, many expect them to also release a black iPod (5th generation). The video iPod is not being released yet, because Apple has no service for delivering content for it.

As for the Apple Pro machines (these include the Powerbook and the Power Mac), the Powerbooks should be getting fairly minor bumps in processor speeds, and the 15″ and 17″ Powerbooks should have higher resolution displays. At least one of the Powermacs will be using IBM’s PowerPC 970MP. Both the Powerbooks and the Powermacs should begin using DDR2 memory.
Just because Apple doesn’t have a service to deliever video today, doesn’t mean they will not be releasing one on the 12th.
new iPods and new Powerbooks usually don’t need a press event.
That’s part of the reason they’re not releasing it, if they have no content for the video iPod then more people will turn to piracy and ripping movies, which will give Apple a bad name.
Also, if they were to release an iPod video then it would be in direct competition with the iPod nano.
Right now I’m still not very sure if they will or will not release it, I’m just reporting what Think Secret is saying.
Yeah because people really need more space on their ipods.
No chance. No video iPods will be announced on the 12th. iTMS video content delivery service (subscription based)… just wait and see.
