By now we're fairly certain that Apple and friends just do these patents for their own entertainment, to keep rumor mongers like us guessing and to publish uninteresting doodles to a mass audience, but they've got a new one for our dissection, and there's no use us quitting now. This time around it's nothing incredibly impressive, but a patent in regards to ESPN's mobile services has been unveiled, and it specifically makes mention of the iPod as a possible streaming delivery platform of sport scores and videos. Of course, this could just be ESPN covering all of its bases before the launch of its (ill-fated) Mobile ESPN, but with the incredible level of chumminess between Apple and Disney these days, we wouldn't put such a thing past 'em -- and if we can squeeze a WiFi iPod rumor out of the sitch, all the better.[Via AppleInsider]
cannot wait till the new ipod
It would be a masterstroke if Apple would introduce this product a day before the Zune launches.
now if they made an ipod with video chat capabilities....
Would the Archos 604 be better than the video ipod, that's if apple makes one.
Imagine watching streamed instant replays on your iPod at a Football game or sporting event. I would buy this for sure.
@chris: So you would actually pay to watch instant replays?
what is with the work "sitch"? did an engadget editor hear a pre-teen on the street say and and decided it was cool?
Sitch came from the word situation. It is part of Disney's Kim Possible catch phrase. "What's the sitch?" hehehe
Might this be related to an Apple iPhone rather than a wireless iPod?
