Wireless iPod? What wireless iPod?
Apple analysts say we won’t see any wireless iPods in the near future. But AppleInsider has obtained a
patent document filed by Apple two years ago that appears
to portray an iPod with wireless functionality.
From the document’s abstract:
“One aspect of the media player system pertains to a docking station that allows a media player to communicate with other media devices. Another aspect of the media player system pertains to a wireless media player system that includes a hand held media player capable of transmitting information over a wireless connection and one or more media devices capable of receiving information over the wireless connection.”
Yep, smells remarkably like wireless to me! Giving the iPod broadcasting and/or wireless file sharing capabilities seems like an awfully natural progression to me. It sure would give the street corner soapbox a whole new dimension.

Or the patent could just be referring to the AirPort Express that Apple came out with some months ago.
