BBC accidentally reveals video iPod?

By Peter Rojas


Want some more evidence that Apple is getting ready to drop a
video iPod on us next week?
(Yeah, we know this contradicts what ThinkSecret reported earlier today about Jobs unveiling new Power Macs and PowerBooks.) Well, according to our good friends over at iLounge, earlier today BBC 6 accidentally let slip that, "Apple is set to unveil a new video iPod at the BBC Television Centre in London on October the 12th," and that the company is "expected to reveal details of the new MP3 and video player as well as video bundles to be available from the company's iTunes stores." Stands to reason that the BBC would be one of Apple's content partners — they've been notoriously forward-thinking in their plans to put their TV and radio show archives online — and somewhat suspiciously the broadcast mentioning the new iPod has since been pulled from the BBC's website. The plot thickens.
