Boom Shake Shake The Room

Engadget reports on the latest iPod rumour doing the rounds on the usual "I Know What Apple Did Next Summer" type sites. Apparently, a new verison of Apple's flagship iPod product is now headed for that dusty shelf in your living room, bedroom or study in the shape of a wireless enabled hard disk'ed up "Boombox". There is already a raft of other (expensive) speaker systems for the iPod so it seems common sense that Apple would provide their own system too. If it wireless connects and syncs to my iTunes too then that would be cool. A basic iPod docking speaker system would be too "low tech" for Apple to make, so expect it to have lots more bells and whistles. No doubt it will be some kind of iPod docking device that allows you to connect to iTunes, and the iTunes Radio stations too over your wifi connection. Add the ability to sync the tunes on your pod' to the internal hard disk too for when your battery is dead and that will probably be something near to the final product. The device may be announced at the Mac Expo early next year. Technorati Tags: , , , , ,

This should become available right about the time I get around to purchasing one of the new iPods. God Damn It, Tao. Why can't I just be rich. Or, you know, friends with Steve Jobs.

Money is the root of all evil remember!

Just a nice little sum (1 mil) to tide me over would be cool.

I could then become a ProBlogger and earn some pocket money from AdSense adverts.

And buy a Mac too!

I thought it was hot. I didn't even realize it was PSD'd until you mentioned it. Clearly you are a Jedi.

*pedantry alert!*

a love of money is at the root of all evil.

Not money itself.

Dontcha just love the way Apple are giving product design a kick up the arse?

Who does'nt love money?
Just the fact that this 5p in my pocket has been touched by all those people!

It's almost like we are all interconnected and having some mass monetary orgy or something!

Mmmmmm... Dna sex..
