New iPod Nano, iPod Touch and iTunes Coming Soon
Being the Zune fan that I am, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to spend the price on iPod and have the only option for music be iTunes, but hey, they’re obviously out there. So for those iPod fans who cannot be converted… This one’s for you.
Kevin Rose has revealed the latest rumors surrounding the upcoming release of the new iPod line.
Rumors include:
- Revamp of entire iPod line.
- Small cosmetic changes to Touch, Nano to see significant redesign (see pic below).
- iPods to see fairly large price drops to distance itself from the $199 iPhone.
- iPod touch 2.1 software, iPhone to get update very soon after.
- iTunes 8.0 (”it’s a big update w/new features”).
- All of this coming in the next 2-3 weeks.
I don’t like being restricted on my music options. I like being able to use the radio feature and the ability to network and share music with others without feeling like the feds are going to come pounding down your door is just an added bonus for Zune users.

6 opinions for New iPod Nano, iPod Touch and iTunes Coming Soon

The misconception is that an iPod is the only one that’s compatible with iTunes. Sansa, another brand of MP3, has the capabilities to use iTunes versions of music. I haven’t used the brand before, but I’ve heard good things from those that have.
I can’t wait to see the price drops for the iPod though. If it’s going to be cheaper than the iPhone, I forsee a jump in profit for Apple, because that’s the biggest turn-off for a lot of people.

It’s not that I think that iTunes is only compatible with iPod - it’s that it’s the only ONE that is compatible with iPod.
I like the versatility and options that Zune leaves me. I hate being in a position of not having choices.

As a Mac/Apple devotee, it’s more about quality than anything. Any Apple product is going to far outlive any Microsoft crap.
It’s all a matter of preference and to me, the best is Apple.

My neice and nephew love their ipod, and it has really changed so much in our modern life. I used to work for Apple Computer, and look forward to many more generations of amazing products.
