![]() It really wasn’t until P2P came on the scene that the record companies started to worry about large scale copying. In practice, ever since CDs came out, it’s been informally allowed, if only because you can’t do a whole lot of copying between a few friends. Sharing CDs with friends and family is not illegal. With such a small, portable machine, who wants to keep syncing with a PC to change the music? For example, if I’m going on a trip for the weekend, do I want to lug my laptop through the airport? Heck no! I want to take my little 6.5 ounce wonder and leave the 8lb mammoth at – It’s called research, I suggest you do some, before spouting off. ![]() The whole point of these huge devices is to allow you to leave your CDs sitting on your shelf. (But as I say above–it looks like they won’t be including the features I want so it probably doesn’t matter what I’d really love to know now is whether older iPods will be flashable so that they can handle files in the AAC – It’s not about how much music you can listen to on a single charge, it’s about holding a large selection on the device at one time. We’ll soon see… Unfortunately for me I’m going on a trip on the 27th and would love a new iPod if the features were compelling for my vacay, but these are likely to be released on the 28th. ![]() ![]() I would prefer to see a AM/FM transceiver added or a add-in module direct from Apple, or Bluetooth if only for a wireless headset (I know BT transfer rates are no good for moving files) However, drive capacity seems to be the major area of focus for the iPod upgrades… which leads me to believe that Apple will expand the functionality past music playing because most (not me) will see diminishing returns from larger and larger drives unless the storage space can be put to other uses… Something I was considering was much more functionality–maybe these are additional buttons, maybe a fair bit of the capacity is already taken with software on the disk (explaining the discrepency between Nick’s rumor and Toshiba’s real drives)…īut if so, why would the 40 GB version take up 10 GB and the 20 take up only 5? Doesn’t make sense… And that is a lot of software… Toshiba hasn’t produced drives in sizes of 15 and 30 GB… Which is why I’m suspicious of Nick on this one. The new design, is shown in a Think Secret artist rendering. The new models will be available in sizes as high as 30GB. On other Apple news, a re-designed Apple iPod in two new hard drive sizes with control buttons and a docking/charging station will be announced toward the end of April, sources have confirmed to Think Secret.
