- jeremythomas, on 10/12/2007, -12/+77maybe you control it with your MIND!
THAT'S TELEKINESIS KYLE! - thejokell, on 10/12/2007, -9/+67But will it have the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away?
- deucer, on 10/12/2007, -7/+44Or how bout the power to move you?
- argblat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+39No you don't understand ... it's a non-touch interface ... you can't touch it ... don't even think about it ... it's not even allowed anymore
- Grimdotdotdot, on 10/12/2007, -4/+30Great.
I can't wait to be stuck on the train with a bunch of white-earphoned gits going "Britney! Britney! BRITNEEEEEEY!"
The joy. - pbaehr, on 10/12/2007, -10/+34It will be called the WiiPod.
- Grimdotdotdot, on 10/12/2007, -9/+28With mind bullets?
*THAT'S* TELEKENISIS, KYLE! - viewsource, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22If you're not touching it, you're not scratching it!
- wired4u, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20Maybe they can make one which is scratch resistant. I do not want a voice activated ipod I want one they wont get scratched 20 minutes after it is out of the box
- Quix, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21Emilio, your trolling is pitiful. iPod sales are down 50% from last year? You wish. And the Intel Macs are going to increase market share, big time. Some fiasco.
Get a life. - Bogtha, on 10/12/2007, -9/+22That's no good for people who get road rage. Every time somebody cuts them up, it'd start playing Dennis Leary.
- brandizzle, on 10/12/2007, -9/+20I want a touch screen dammit.
- Ramble, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16"It's part of their new 1984 UI - double plus untouch!"
Soon there will be a Ministry of Apple.
*shudders* - Chewie67, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11"Modded down because it's lame . . . Picture someone with a tiny ipod nano in one hand making hand motions in front of it with the other. Ridiculous. More custom shortcuts would be nice though."
Actually, I envision you rotating your thumb over the iPod to scroll rather than actually having to touch it. That wouldn't look ridiculous, and it would allow you to have a full screen Video iPod without getting finger prints on the screen. - picaman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+114 quarters=1 year.
Thanks for proving the point of your detractors, and saving them the trouble. - happyfundave, on 10/12/2007, -8/+16I cannot wait for my ipod to blast forth with 3 part harmony
- spooq, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14EmilioLizardo, you hideous troll, welcome to my blocklist.
- iLEZ, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Are there differences between "non" and "none"? An in "non-slip" and "none-slip". The use of "none" seems completely wrong to me in this case. On the other hand, i don't want lecture you yanks in your own language. ;)
- ingoldsby, on 10/12/2007, -9/+16Perhaps they are working on a system based on motion detection?
- Gryfft, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8This sounds like Zaphod's radio from H2G2.. controls so fine and so sensitive you waved in the radio's general direction and hoped you'd land on something you liked...
- Quix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7OK Emilio, you're going on my block list for blatant retardation. The holiday quarter for this type of item is always much higher than other quarters in the year. You can't look at the quarter following a holiday quarter and infer some kind of drastic plummet in sales. Unless you're a complete moron, of course.
Welcome to the world of business, and rational human thought. - lnxaddct, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10Emilio,
What is up with you trolling every damn Apple story and making up numbers like these? Go get a life. - Miyazaki, on 10/12/2007, -12/+17History of Wonderboy and young Nasty Man
Rigga goo goo, rigga goo goo - LycoLoco, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Welcome to the eternal problem of buying Apple products.
- Detro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I don't want a new iPod to be released, I just bought a 60gb video :(
- sheesh, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7It's an iPod Shuffle.... except they've removed the buttons as well as the screen.
- MioTheGreat, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9I'm pretty sure the reason they don't want anyone touching their new iPods is because if you touch them, they'll be instantly covered in scratches....
- Quix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Hmm, and Dell is down 40% in the last year, and Microsoft is down 23% in the last year...hmmm, could it be because the ENTIRE MARKET IS DOWN? Either that or Dell and Microsoft are going down in flames too, just like Apple...
With your level of brainpower, I'm surprised you can even spell Apple. But keep on trolling if it gives your sad little life meaning.
Why do I allow myself to get sucked into conversing with ignorant people?
P.S. Emilio, do you actually foam at the mouth when you use the word "fanboy?" I'm guessing you do... - compu73rg33k, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8About ***** time! I held off on buying the video iPod in February becuase supossedly the new iPod was coming out in "Late March or Early April". Here I am in the middle of June still waiting for it. I don't want to buy the video iPod becuase as soon as I do, I know the new one will come out. Just release it damnit!
- kolop1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7 No more Ipod rumors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- jhunt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Some people hate popular things because they are popular.
I refer to these people as "idiots". - GoodShipBebop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Everyone seems to be focus this comment (which could've just been mistranslated) to mean some sort of new interface design. What if no-touch means No Connections? Bluetooth enabled so you can transfer songs wirelessly and use wireless headphones? It's at least worth considering.
- deleteYourslf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Why would one of the most secretive companies in the world allow a manufacturing contractor to spill the beans about their top grossing product? Apple watches those factories with armed guards, I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate unauthorized press coverage of their next "big thing".
Engaget.com writes fluff stories like this one to boost web traffic, no digg. - NoodleGuy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Interesting.... In This article (http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/analysts-lower-ipod-sales-estimates/) posted TODAY, iPod sales estimates for this year are more than double that of last year "Farmer lowered full-year sales estimates to 39.4 million from 43.4 million units. "
Last I checked, even revised downward 39.4 is larger than 14... - noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Perhaps some people have hand-eye coordination.
- Quix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"EVERY single quarter Apple had quarter over quarter iPod GROWTH including quarters after the holiday sales surge."
Ah, so they have a breakthrough, blowout quarter and a falloff the following and it's a catastrophe? Only in your "my hatred for Apple is the only thing that gives me joy" world. Apple will sell more iPods this year than last year, and more iPods next year than this year. You can take that to the bank.
Get a life, Emilio. Keep watching that iPod sales chart, praying for bad things to happen. - jotajota3, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3Why are people so quick to gang up against someone or something that has been successfull? Histories full of examples. Why just a couple years ago when Tiger Woods was at his peak almost everyone in the sport of golf was putting the guy down?! I don't see the difference here...many tech enthusiasts seem to hate the iPod because it's become so successful and has turned into a trendy icon of sorts. I mean that's really why people oppose it..it has nothing to do with they don't like iTunes or they want some obscure open source format or feature x or y....come on people
- Bradl3y, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4The eternal problem of buying any new technology product.
- Quix, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Let me try to awaken your lone brain cell, Emilio.
Q3 iPod sales in 2005 = 6.1 million. Projections for Q3 2006 = 8 million sales.
Q2 iPod sales in 2005 = 5.3 million. Q2 2006 = 8.5 million.
Where is this 50% drop you're talking about?
Apparently trolls are bad at math. - happyfundave, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7The only real problem with making a statement like this is that every person who owns an apple computer has a stock ticker in it. I was only one button press away from finding out that it is actually up from last year.
- ripter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4apparently, Emilio is a 13yr old who just discovered the stock market while watching reruns of full house.
- cmiller1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4People that want noahhoward to go away: EmilioLizardo
People that want EmilioLizardo to go away: Pretty much every digg user except his fellow retarded trolls
Would love to come up with a reasonable number for the second, but I don't think EmilioLizardo can count that high. - noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Way to ignore the people who prove you wrong. How sad. You know how many "massive downtrends" are in this stock chart? Doesn't seem to matter to you that every downtrend is countered then buried.
"Yeah, run away with your Apple branded tail between your legs..."
People like you keep me entertained... you're such a moron. Have you ever read a stock chart before? Do you know how to trade stock? I'd stay away from the market if I were you, you'll lose a lot of money if you panic over a one moth decline when those declines are followed by three quarters of steady increase.
Oh, I happen to be primarily a PC user by the way. Saying fanboy doesn't make it true. - 0siris, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4maybe it means it wirelessly syncs with the computer
"no Touch" from computer to ipod? - twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4No, I am a "Yank" and I am appalled at the sheer number of people here on Digg who have an extremely limited grasp of spelling and grammar. It is embarrassing.
- LycoLoco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If you really wanna get technical, it's not since last year (which they're actually up from), but down from January.
- SamboGT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'll believe it when they announce it. There's too many iPod rumors going around.
- heinousjay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Well, I suppose technically January isn't last year, but... but... but... ah, dammit, there's no way to defend you, Emilio. I guess you just suck.
- hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3No. Nintendo makes videogames. When Sony does it for videogames after Nintendo without a declaration of having it in the works, it's considered copying. If Sony were to do a similar interface for non-videogames, it would not be considered copying.
- untzboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Its probably a bomb with voice control. When you turn on your PC to play WoW, KABOOM!! Steve Strikes Back! But I'm serious. It'll prolly be a voice controlled thing that you put in your ear. I command you to play song #448965!
