Jobs is going to introduce the new iPod with the BBC.

Hmmm. Who wants to wager The Beatles catalog is going to be available on the new iPod.

Just a silly guess from a yank.

iPod? iPhone? The must have purchase for iD ten T out there!

I've been waiting on this since... forever. I've held out for so long for a fullscreen iPod. The other iPods didn't have enough space for me and when the 80 Gb came out it seemed too late to buy an iPod. Hopefully it's open enough to have more 3rd party applications that could make it even more useful.

Have you ever tried to use a touch screen when you've had a few?

The huge appear of Apple devices lies beyond comparisons of 4Gb on one device or 4Gb on an equivalent apple device. It is that the Apple device will be beautifully made and a delight to use. It will not, as my phone does, beep at 3am because its battery is low. Thats is just dumb but many phones do this despite having a clock and therefore being able to know its owner is likely to be asleep. Just the kind of device behavior that apple work very hard to eliminate.

One of the advantages of the iPod video line is its large storage capacity – the current model being available at 30GB and 80GB. Therefore, a refreshed iPod video could appeal to iPhone owners as well – you could store ALL of your music and numerous movies and tv shows on it. Something you could never do on an iPhone (even a 8GB model). Personally, can't wait to get my hands on one!

Alistair is right, I have been doing the same with my Sony PSP for years. These devices have been out on the marketso long they are now called PMPs or portable media players. Archos make an excellent range already with touch screen and Wi-Fi functionality. Why bother buying the shows when the Archos can record them directly off a video signal.
Unless Apple is unveling something radically new, I don't see why I should get it.

I fear Apple are late on the scene already. My phone will quite happily play me my recorded tv shows and videos from a 4Gb card. With a few days of battery life to boot, I won't be switching unless it can read my dismay at getting the wrong word on predictive text..
