Think Secret has posted an article confirming rumours of a Ipod Video with 3.5" diagonal display and touch screen wheel. According to the site an announcement could be as soon as 1st April which would coincide with the companies 30th anniversary.
Apple has been working with at least two other companies to perfect the digital click wheel display technology. While not all the engineering was completed in-house by Apple, sources have said Apple could hold an exclusive license on the technologies it borrowed from other developers for a period of time, limiting the ability of competitors to copy Apple’s design.
With the PSP, it will be surely signify the mainstream acceptance of portable video as a realistic medium and for corporations as a relevant revenue stream. ITunes has sold well over a million videos since the launch but numbers will increase exponentially with the release of this of this. I can’t wait!
