pics?

They sound really cool, and I was talking to someone today who said he would like to get the U2 iPod if it was reasonably priced.

[Joe Matt]

Apple.com has all the pics and stuch.

Look slike apple is trying to catch up with the other multimedia players.
If I had a ton of money I would get the U2 iPod, I love the look.

Once I save up enough money i plan on getting the green mini iPod. I wonder why green. hmmmmm

[Dorienne]

I'd get black if they had it! *growl* but I think another company has like a whole assortment of colors. I may get black, most definitely...gotta love 007.

I just hope somebody hacks them to playback video

Archos does have a really nice mini video player for only about $400 though. Supposedly you get 5 hours of battery life with it, and its tinyy. The Gp400 i think?

Doubt it. The proc itself dosn't support video play back, plus, why would you want to watch a video on that tiny screen?

Also, here's some other cool info I got...

iTunes syncs the photos.

Transflective display, good for outdoor use!

New dock with video out.

Must use dock for video out.

The photo one isn't really my cup of tea--then again, I see the iPod as a music player. So I may be biased. (On the other hand, I can see it becoming the photographer's new best friend.)

That U2 iPod looks very nice, indeed. Given the colors of it (and the colors of USC), I'd be interested in it, if it weren't for the $50 premium (well, I can use it towards their boxed set...but that's even more money, I'm going to bet) and the fact that I've had my current one for just a week.

Don't forget album art.

Oh, if I wasn't trying to save money, I'd abuse my near-empty Apple Loan right now.

The picture gallery seems so useless. Who would actually use that? It's not like you can take pictures with it. Are you really going to upload pictures to your iPod and care to look at them on that small screen? And I think they're also now heavier and thicker than before. Personally, I don't like this change.

It's not a change, it's part of a new line, like iPod vs iPod mini.

Also, I can think of one, FIRST Competitions. Just plug the ipod and it's dock to a computer screen and use the music and photo capabilities to show a long slide show.

I just got a 40gig ipod a month a go, and now a 1337er one comes out

*100th post*

I can't believe how much storage space is on these things now! I still want a 20 gig one...haha Hopefully I will get one for Christmas. Unless anyone has an old one they just don't want.

I have a 3g ipod, which I personally like better than the blickable ones. It is the only all-touch ipod, with no buttons. I'm going to wait for the video ipod before I get anything new.
