New iPod revs: color, color, color

The Engadget team bring us two bits of news about ye olde iPod line: one, that regular iPods will be getting a new color scheme to match the current iPod mini line. The other news is a bit more interesting - the iPod mini may be getting a color screen, according to Think Secret.

The rumour-spinners believe both bits will be happening in the next couple of weeks. They don’t indicate whether or not ‘color screen’ will also include photo viewing functionality. Anyone want to place your bets?

I woulda thought that sales of the iPod Photo would determine whether the iPod mini got photo capability. But I don't know what iPod Photo sales have been like. Then again, even if they've been lacklustre, maybe Apple thinks "Well, if we do a cheaper one, people will buy it." Isn't 5Gb a bit puny for photos and music, though? Maybe not. Color screen minus photos = album artwork, and presumably higher power consumption. Yeah, bit dumb to have that and no photos.

Possibly. But what would be the point of a color screen if you can't view photos on it?

I truthfully doubt they would add photoviewing to the mini. They might release a iPod mini PHOTO, but thats the most I would be. For now I think the color screen is to make it more appealing to everyone else who is stuck between the iPod mini and a different MP3 player with a color screen.
