Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: Ethion on February 09, 2006, 06:23:15 pm Well, i'm waiting. And I would rather have a big shiny ipod with a big display than the current one.

Me too, but I'll just upgrade when the time comes. ;) Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BTs_Mysterio on February 09, 2006, 08:48:25 pm The one thing I would want to see Apple improve is offering 640x480 or a low widescreen one. Well, that and a 100GB HD.

Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BTs_Mysterio on February 11, 2006, 06:27:03 pm I don't know about the whole touch-screen fuss. If Apple truly perfects it, that's good, if not it will be another iPod Nano Scratch styled mess. As for Civic's image, maybe in 2007; for the time being an increase of 10 hour playback is a bit far off... not the fact I don't discredit bluetooth+802 as that is plausibly awesome, yet still semi-unlikely considering infrastructure for on-iPod music stores or the power needed to receive a streamed video at "acceptable quality".
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: Ethion on February 11, 2006, 06:40:20 pm if it's going to look like that, i'm most likely to buy one thats for sure.
even though it might not happened, I think that Apple would make some kind of lense that would make it less scratchable. And I don't really see the point of Bluetooth2 and Airport, if they aren't going to stream movies with a new airport express thingi. But some of those things listed seems unrealistic, but still it makes me drool.

(http://www.mac-essentials.de/bilder/touchscreen_ipod.jpg) Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BTs_Mysterio on February 11, 2006, 08:11:31 pm That looks like a tablet not an iPod.
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 12, 2006, 11:55:51 am my god civic if that first pic you posted turned out accurate... omg hehe. only thing is i think apple would move it all horizontal - ie not keep the same image top, scroll wheel bottom, but shift it to left and right so that the ipod was used in its horizontal form all the time rather than switch between vertical for music and horizontal for vid.
The diagram just above defiantly looks like a tablet and not an ipod i agree with myst. Basically looks like itunes on a tablet. Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: Ethion on February 12, 2006, 12:45:40 pm Maybe the perspective of the image is weird :P So the device itself might be smaller, or the hand bigger. Depends how you see it.
Point being, it might looks like a tablet because the hand is to small to make it a mp3 player. or what ever. Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 12, 2006, 12:59:32 pm true the hand makes the scale seem for it to be a tablet... but also for me the dimensions are just wrong, the ratio isn't right - just looks wrong...
then again thats a patent diagram isn't it... and its the interface and the fact its touch sreen that it is demonstrating... so who knows :) Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: Civrock on February 12, 2006, 05:13:30 pm (http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/8125/ipodvideo12na.th.jpg) (http://img132.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ipodvideo12na.jpg) (http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/4379/ipodvideo25np.th.jpg) (http://img132.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ipodvideo25np.jpg)
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 12, 2006, 05:37:13 pm well that tablet looks pretty shweet a touch thick though and things like the curved edges of the lcd screen make me scream fake (unfortunatly heh) ipod video looks very sexy shweet but again, the curved edges of the lcd and the very thin bevel make me unfortunatly not believe it.
if only though... my god can i imagine those things selling like hotcakes on a frosty mornin! Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BTs_Mysterio on February 12, 2006, 05:59:00 pm The reason the patent looks like a tablet is cause it has window control boxes. I doubt the iPod is becoming a PDA at this point... well maybe.
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: :MoD:Shade on February 12, 2006, 09:33:12 pm Tablet Mac, mmmmh.

Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: :MoD:Shade on February 13, 2006, 12:22:28 am A pocket LCD basically, subject to scraches? ect? or will it have something over it.
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: DarK. on February 14, 2006, 07:52:05 am A pocket LCD basically, subject to scraches? ect? or will it have something over it. I would sure hope so... The Table tooks incredably fake... I won't believe a tablet mac is coming out till I see the keynote. Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 14, 2006, 08:34:12 am and yet apple are advertising for a handwriting specalist type person.... Gesture user-interface patents applications and touch screen and interface research you can't help but think that they have some new product in the works.. and its hard to say that a contender wouldn't be a tasty Apple Tablet!
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: DarK. on February 14, 2006, 09:09:06 am not saying it isnt gonna be... that tablet just doesnt look real.
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 14, 2006, 11:12:45 am rgr, totally agree, not real and very unlikely heh. Im getting inpatient for a apple announcement though, i thought there was supposed to be one today?
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BTs_Mysterio on February 14, 2006, 01:35:08 pm Are you referring to the one artist rendition of a tablet in this thread No one claims it's real, and the black and white line drawings are patents by Apple, not fantasy.
BTW, I bet Tablets + iPods + 17in MacBook Pro on April 1.... and the 13in MacBook [iBook] feb-march if we are lucky. Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 15, 2006, 03:14:48 pm well we're off the inital topic but what the hell, take a look at this awsome video of a new kind of multi-sensative touch screen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp-y3ZNaCqs) it blew my mind!!
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: :MoD:Shade on February 15, 2006, 08:54:58 pm HOLY SHIT!!!
WHAT THEY DID WITH THE PICTURES WERE SOOOO COOL, RESIZING AND SHUFFLING AROUND - AND THE LAVA LAMP TYPE THING! AND THE MAP! OMG! I have to catch my breath, I couldn't keep my eyes off. Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 15, 2006, 11:01:07 pm hehe thought it might make a few eyes explode!! ;) i watched it six times straight, then remembered to stop dribbling over the keyboard and shut my mouth again ;)
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BTs_Mysterio on February 15, 2006, 11:07:23 pm Some of those gestures looks like several things apple patented...odd... eh?
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: Civrock on February 15, 2006, 11:40:36 pm Don't you know? This is how the Apple's 'Flurry' screensaver was created. ;)
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: :MoD:Shade on February 16, 2006, 08:56:40 pm Somebody said in the comments:
Quote This thing is surprisingly easy to build and cheap. The hardware behind it is a P4 2Ghz. Its an acrylic Plate with clear edges. From the edges Infrared Light is projected into it. Where the finger touches it, th elight is reflected down trough the plate to a 640x480 webcam with an infrared filter. A little bit of processing and you get an image with dots where the fingers touched it. It does not sense the strength of the touch. Is this true? Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 16, 2006, 09:05:13 pm Wish i had the knowledge to say, hardware wise im sure it doesn't take a huge ammount of CPU power, it shouldn't the feat is in the monitor. i can't quite see how the finger would accuratly reflect the llight down through the plate to the apparent webcam however - it dosn't sound accurate enough and from looking at the video the thing is pretty damn accurate. hard to know.
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: :MoD:Shade on February 16, 2006, 09:48:29 pm Rendering the 3D map images takes some CPU power I would think, maybe not as much as I think.
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 17, 2006, 01:49:52 am rgr true, its pretty googlemap-esk though. what amazed me was the responce times and how reactive the screen was. i don't understand how a infared sensitive webcam can be used from what you quoted before though as surely it would have to be set back a fair way from the actual screen surface.. so you would have a monitor about 3 feet deep or somthing daft? I have no idea at all but by god a tablet type thingy, or even just a 40inch apple display with that would be well stunning :D
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: DarK. on February 17, 2006, 03:57:47 am this reminds me of the movie Minority Report. So freaking amazing.
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: Ethion on February 17, 2006, 08:27:06 am this reminds me of Star Trek :P LCARS system
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: :MoD:Shade on February 17, 2006, 08:20:46 pm You don't need a 40in. Apple Display BFG for one reason.
You can't afford it. ;) Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: Civrock on February 17, 2006, 08:35:23 pm But BFG already HAS a 40"... :-X
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: :MoD:Shade on February 17, 2006, 09:33:58 pm Dude . . ya had to go there . .
heh. Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 21, 2006, 08:59:12 pm WEEEEEEE HEHE ;)
... Think of how much freaking stuff you could put on a 40" screen... although right now i'd be more than very very happy with a 30" ... or even a 23" as a 2nd screen. Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BTs_Mysterio on February 21, 2006, 11:35:09 pm The Feb 28 music event apparently has a iCal-esque calendar icon on the invite... where have I seen that before? Oh yea, that whole transition thing... you know when Steve said it would be done this year, and there was the iCal-like image on the screen. Perhaps another product to make the jump?
[Post here cause events always have iPod stuff too] Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: Ethion on February 22, 2006, 10:56:58 am And why can't they use the ical icon as a reference to it's a date where something is going to happened?
Even though we all hope for something special, as you said Mysterio. But why can't it just mean that they want it to look nice or something :P and they use their calendar app to make it pirty. Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 22, 2006, 11:08:31 am not so sure this will be an ipod event... they're talking new product... (oh unless its the boombox arrival at last?) ... I want the DVR Mac mini damn it!! ;)
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: Civrock on February 22, 2006, 11:21:34 am I want the DVR Mac mini damn it!! !!! So iNaru finally SsTFU about TiVo... ;) Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 22, 2006, 04:19:25 pm Naru told me to shut the f*ck up about the TiVo? eh? i never mentioned it before? what?!
Hmmm imacbook perhaps? Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: Civrock on February 23, 2006, 10:41:51 am Nono, I meant myself... she keeps nagging about getting TiVo, while I keep telling her that Apple will announce an own solution sometime soon (which I don't know, heh). ;)
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 23, 2006, 11:26:43 am Ooooh hahaha. yeah apples gotta give us a TiVo killer, i need, i want, pretty pretty please. would make a pretty deadly duo with itunes and the old video store etc though..
Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BTs_Mysterio on February 23, 2006, 01:28:21 pm And why can't they use the ical icon as a reference to it's a date where something is going to happened? Even though we all hope for something special, as you said Mysterio. But why can't it just mean that they want it to look nice or something :P and they use their calendar app to make it pirty. Well, they used a jean pocket when they intro'd the Nano, and a theatre when they did front row and iTunes Music Vids; perhaps look below the surface here. iMacBook is the worst mouthful of a name ever, how about just Macbook.

Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: BFG on February 24, 2006, 11:59:17 am Hmmm im kinda betting on new mac mini folks - apparently large orders arnt being taken for them by apple anymore and all suggests point to manufatoring being halted in prep for new models...
fun... wouldn't a macmini with DVR capabilities and Front frow 2.0 be FUN! ;) Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: Civrock on February 27, 2006, 08:28:48 am http://web.mac.com/christianwedlock/iWeb/Christian/fake.mov

FAKE FAKE FAKE!! ;) Title: Re: New iPod in April? :) Post by: Civrock on March 07, 2006, 05:14:23 pm It was a C&D, with the reason being a break of the DMCA.

Like the absence of any 3 dimensional depth whatsoever in the latest offering.
