Apple’s entire iPod line appears to be getting a makeover
this fall, with new designs and updates coming our way as soon as this September. No,
it’s not official, it’s just a rumor, started by Kevin Rose, site architect for
Digg and co-founder of Pownce.
Here is what Rose predicts for September 9: revamp of the
entire iPod line, with small design changes in Touch and a complete makeover
for Nano; price cuts for iPods “to distance from the $199 iPhone;” iPod touch
2.1 software, followed by an iPhone update as well; and iTunes 8.0, which he
called “a big update.”
Rose did not say anything about his sources, but he seemed pretty
convinced of the inside information he had. In a video posted on his personal
blog, Rose described the new iPod Nano as way thinner and longer than the
current version, with a larger screen.
Steve Jobs is not only expected to announce some changes to
the iPod line, but also to come up with some new Mac details for the fans. It still
remains unclear whether such an event will indeed take place; however, Apple is
known to keep September as a special month for announcements.
Although Rose’s
predictions may not be always accurate (we all know he went a little too far with
his iPhone predictions), the chances for the Apple event to take place seem to
be pretty big. But I guess we’ll just have to wait a few more weeks until we
get at least the partial confirmation of Rose’s predictions.
