Trusted Reviews gets reliably anonymous details on touchscreen 6G iPod, iPhone

Hopefully apple are planning to release the 6G the day after the zune... this will have ballmer throwing a few more chairs :D

TouchScreen iPod??? Oh yeah, that'd be good, greasy fingermarks all over my screen while I'm trying to watch stuff, a big thumb smear where the virtual clickwheel is.

Lame.

Some days you just like to do things for effect.

Apple has ten billion dollars in the bank; sales of the iPod are strong and will continue through the Christmas season and a minor update or two. It's not like they really MUST rush the above device into production.

So why NOT wait for Zune to be released and completely take the wind out of Microsoft's sales (sails) by announcing the touch screen video iPod/Phone/Camera/PDA the same day Zune is officially announced?

I'm so

The original iPod was announced October 23, 2001 and started shipping late-Nov/December.

There's still time, guys!

That said, I agree with the argument that retailers have already planed their Christmas stock allocations and it is too late for Apple to insert a brand new product into the channel unless they only expected small sales from it.

Good grief. DORKS!! All of the photos are mockups...they are NOT MEANT to be official images, just some fool's wet dream.

I wonder if that's the same 'well informed' person who was told about the Core 2 Duo laptops by Swiss 'sales reps'.
What a load of baloney. The only good way to drive traffic to your web site these days is to print wild Apple rumours that you claim are from well informed insiders or to slam Apple for brainwashing you into switching to a G5 which you now can't sell ;)
Wait for MacWorld... just don't spend all your money at Christmas..!

I hope it isn't bull - would love to get one! As for the release date - I would think - possible - IF it is announced soon, as in well before Thanksgiving and allow pre-orders. This is the only way they would get the holiday rush and buzz.

Notice that there's still a remote port next to the headphone jack. I don't think Apple's going to put one back in after all the accessory makers spent so much time counting on it NOT being there. Plus there's never been colors in the main iPod; just the mini and nano.

Uh, you guys do realise that all of the pictures used are fan mock ups?

I also find it unlikely for Apple to release a new product in December. I remember how long the 5G took to ship around the world.

Think different ?!?!?!?!
