"Actually I was thinking about that - what if they used
some sort of engineering so that the screen would be a mix between a
trackpad and a (good) tablet PC? In other words, the display itself
would be made of hard plastic just like iPods and tablet PCs (to
limit scratches) but it would still respond to touch like the iPod's
trackwheel?"

It will be interesting to see what Apple unvails, thats for sure. My worry is the scratching/damaging of the screen. You know as well as any ipod owner that ipods scratch (just like any player), but yah know....you wanna keep it perfect. Especially the LCD, and especially for video. For the older b/w ipods, i could care less. Lets just hope they do it right (also avoiding the slew of pointless lawsuits).

Hey o rly, if you dont like it, GTFO.

Re-read my post before you go acting like a dumbass.
The only referenes I made to the supposed video ipod was that:

1. this acer one doesnt look at nice as the leaks I've seen of the iPod.

2. Does anyone think the upcoming ipod will use a stylus?

So stfu, read before you post.

This proves my point people like YOU should be banned from using the internet.

Fine, stick to Windows and your blue screens, crashes, and overall shitty operating system and security issues.


With all the patents for the "mactablet", I want to see it soon. But I doubt it will happen this early. Then again, I never like to use the words "Apple" and "doubt" in the same sentence, simply because Stevie always seems to surprise me. The iPod touchscreen is always a possibility, but the video was just released not too long ago, sheesh! (Thats the one thing about technology, always advancing and leaving the pervious gen owners feeling boned.)

What i have been getting a whif of is a MacTel Mini. Complete with IR remote and front row, and maybe a built in iSight. The rumored integrated iPod dock is of course confirmed to not happen in the upcoming MacTel mini (see:ThinkSecret).

Enough speculating, though it is fun! I'll just wait to see what happens in a week :)
