Here comes the wireless iPod

It’s on the way for sure, just maybe not as soon as we’d hoped. And with video! AppleInsider points us to a job listing for an iPod engineer with a list of skills that will certainly pay the bills:


Further down in the listing, Apple says, “Experience in the following areas is important: system integration, digital logic, SDRAM, Flash, ASIC’s, processor selection, ATAPI, various communication protocols (ie: GSM, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11, Firewire, and USB), display types and video and analog integration.”

While the job listing does not explicitly imply that the next-generation iPod will be capable of displaying video and connecting to WiFi networks, it does indicate that the company is at least experimenting with the technologies inside its iPod division.

So it might not be here in time for Christmas as we’d hoped, but at least we know people inside Apple are thinking along the same lines we are. Wireless is super-cool.
