AppleInsider tells us that a new iPod lineup is coming very soon – 9/9/9 to be exact. Rumors they’re also “confirming” include some “social networking” features being built inside of iTunes 9.
Weren’t we “laughing” at Microsoft’s attempt to make the Zune social a few years back?
It all makes sense though – the camera and video features in the iPhone 3GS’s are screaming for an iPod Touch version (at the very least). I’m still amazed at ‘em and haven’t pulled out my Flip HD since I got the new phone.
And, let’s face it, music and Podcasting is very social – despite how cool it is to laugh at Microsoft.
But speaking of Zune, although Microsoft won’t confirm anything officially at this point, Amazon is pointing to a September 15 release date for the Zune HD product – one week after Apple’s announcements.
Is this a pre-emptive strike from 1 Infinite Loop?
Actually, don’t care, … the cooler and cooler they make our devices, the better and better we are as consumers.
Regardless, I truly doubt the new iPods will have an HDMI out option.
Thoughts?
