The iPod-parazzi
Rumors of a new Apple product generate as much chatter among the techno-geeks as a Nick and Jessica break-up or a Lindsay Lohan automobile accident among the gossip blogs.
Next week's "special announcement" from Apple inspired a major article in the L.A. Times today as rumors of a video iPod swirled around the internet.
"Speculation that the company would unveil a video iPod has circulated for months. It intensified Tuesday, when the company e-mailed an invitation to journalists that said 'One more thing' against the backdrop of what looks like a movie theater curtain. 'One more thing' is a phrase that Jobs often uses during product launches. 'When Steve Jobs says 'one more thing,' that's usually when the bombshell drops,' Michael Gartenberg of Jupiter Research said."
In fact, there is a slavish cult devoted to creating mock-ups of the video iPod.
However, Think Secret, who originally published the rumor that this was to be the introduction of the clip-playing device, now says that Apple's presentation will be devoted to a new iPod, but not a video version...perhaps a new color, a new size, or one that offers a continuous feed of Paris Hilton's whereabouts.
What would you want to play on a video iPod?

lately there have been rumours about an Ipod Madonna, as the Ipod U2 that came out last year.
and now even some newspaper reported that news.
probably they'll launch it in that conference, next thursday.
obviously, it will contain every single madonna's mp3.

Damn... I just got the nano so they better slow down for at least two months and let me have my fun. I hear that there are also rumors of a Madonna iPod to promote the release of her album.

They're going to launch videos you can purchase on itunes.

Maybe it's both.
The Madonna Video IPod.
All her videos and singles on an IPod when you buy it, plus room aplenty for your future downloads. Sounds like something Madonna Moneybags would pony up to.
