When is the new iPod coming out?

[BlamoHammer]

Any news on the horizon? I am in the market to buy a HHD based mp3 player and out of the ones I've tested the iPod's interface is far superior. The battery life, however, is horrible and enough reason to look elsewhere. I am also comtemplating the Creative Zen Touch as an alternative.

Those are two of the main Apple rumor sites. If you want, dig through their reports and look. My advice: If you want a HDD player now, buy the iPod through CompUSA along with the TAP (TAP = Technology Assurance Plan which is CompUSA's replacement plan). This way when the new model comes out, you bring your old one back to CompUSA, and you can request they "upgrade: you because you are not satisfied with this model, and you will be out only 60 bucks or so if you decide you want another replacement plan.

No worries. The Best Buy 2 year replacement plan is like $24.99 and they issue a voucher for full purchase pice if something breaks. It would be stupid not to.

I find the ipod battery life to be satisfying. I don't listen to it 24/7 and using a playlist instead of searching for songs you want to listen to saves battery life.

No, BestBuy will try everything to keep you with the same model. In my experience, CompUSA is more lenient on letting you get the new model, as log as you pay the difference.

Haha, well, if I knew you worked for them then that is another story .

Yeah, but if you want something for music now, go my route (and substitute BestBuy for CompUSA), and you will still be able to get the latest and greatest when it comes out.
