thats nothing dude, my Neuros has 80 gigs, USB 2.0

 

[iamme]

interesting.

two things i'd want to know right off the bat: battery life and screen resolution.

 

[rpc64]

Yeah I bet it will cost more than the $500 mentioned in the article.

 

[CraigRT]

it's useless for music to have that much storage, but once you realize the potential of being able to have other things stored on there.... hmmm

sweet

the 80 gig I got has like 8 hr battery life, and cost me like $280

right, this is why I got the 80, I need my portable storage

 

[naruto1988]

wow. $500. i'd say that's only for enthusiastics or rich people. i personally would never buy a color screen ipod w/ 60 GB. too fancy/useless for me.

does it support digital pics? does it have a color screen?

than that really has nothing to do with this topic, but to make yourself feel better for not buying an iPod.

well if you are a lossless compression whore

than i guess this would be right for you

otherwise i agree it is pretty much useless

color screen would be useless to me as well though


i would much rather see a mini that was 8-10 GB

creative has had 60gig players for over a year now and they cost like 200$ less the ipods

 

[onza]

true, but it doesnt have color does it?

i nkow its all eye candy but yah... it has COLOR

edit -

The 60GB iPod will feature only rudimentary built-in software for viewing photos, with no editing tools, sources say. Photo albums will be navigated in a similar fashion to music playlists, and a slideshow feature will provide transitions with user-specified background music, similar to iPhoto. Synchronizing features similar to iTunes will also be added to iPhoto.

The new iPod won't feature built-in flash memory stick slots for downloading photos from digital cameras, although such a feature will presumably be able to be employed through Belkin's $99 Media Reader.

Sources indicate that Apple will market the new photo iPod as being capable of storing 20,000 music tracks and 25,000 photos. As an added bonus for music fans, album artwork will be displayed on screen when it's available for a selected track.

no, the neuros doesnt have a color screen, but you can store pictures on it, and it has a built in FM broadcaster

 

[Anubis]

they are blue thats color

and a full color screen that is like a 2 inch square is pointless

 

[Lonyo]

iRiver has a colour screen series (H3xx), with jpg and bmp support, but only 40GB.
And as said, Creative has had a 60GB model for a while.

 

[iamme]

btw, does anyone know what the resolution of the current b/w ipods are?

Apple's going to have to add high resolution displays if anyone's going to go out of their way to put digital pics on it.

 

[five40]

I would love 60 gig's of music.

:roll:

yah, i guess we'd better get rid of color screens on PDAs, cell phones, and digital cameras because they are pointless.

i sense some ipod haters in this thread. all i can say is, apple is owning once again.

But they're all using the older 2.5" drives, which puts them in an entirely different class altogether.

PS I'm betting if this is true, Apple's going with an OLED display

 

[GTaudiophile]

People: that CNN article is an article about rumor! Nothing more!

It's like CNN spreading fud about Bush re-instituting the draft when only Democrats have attempted to do so.

i have a 30 gigh Zen Xtran same size as the 60 gig and its the perfect size, the ipod is too damn small and impossiable to operate because i have big hands

 

[onza]

the new device's real shining feature will be its video-out port

i bet all the music handhelds can do that!
