About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Tuesday, December 23, 2003Mini iPods, major iLife update?If this is true, Apple might pull off one of the most genius consumer electronics maneuvers since the original Walkman. Think Secret is reporting that Apple will introduce new "mini-iPods" at its MacWorld San Francisco trade show in January. The mini-Pods would ship in capacities of 2 GB and 4 GB (offering 400 and 800 songs, respectively) and start at the crucial $100 selling point. Current iPods will be revamped to support different colors (i.e. other than white). While it would have been huge for the company to have released these new devices, say, in early November, the introduction of a $100 iPod would squash one of the most obvious complaints about Apple's portable audio devices (they're too expensive) and open up the market to include a far wider range of customers.Think Secret also notes that "Jobs will also devote considerable time to Apple's software offerings during his presentation, with a number of new releases in store for users. Sources said Jobs will unveil a 'total revamp' of iLife, the integrated iApp suite that Apple announced one year ago. Sources anticipate that the suite's core applications -- iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and iTunes -- will be updated across the board; Other insiders confirmed that Apple will announce iDVD 4 as well as iMovie 3.5." Allegedly, there will be no new CPU announcements -- either desktop or laptop -- in the upcoming keynote. [ Posted at 10:02 AM | Permalink ]
