Apple- "Lets Rock" Music based event

AS few you you may know
Apple is hosting a Lets Rock event in 5 hrs
I will tell you guys about what you should expect
for the iPod line
(iway or the high way)

The iPods-The worlds highest capacity MP3s at the lowest prices

iPod Nano- has fully functional video support and games and every kind of music format, in cover flow and wide screen video
they come in
4 and 8 gb models 150$ and 200$ respectively
4gb models are only grey/white
8gb models are ger/white, pink, blue, green, black, and red(pastel kind of colors)

the future iPod nano will be resemble the iPod nano 1st and second generation models
it will be elongated with a motion sensor to detect screen orientation change (wide or tight screen)

it will still have a wide screen mode but it will be activated by the motion sensor when rotated. The screen will be larger and enhance videos better
the nano will come in 8 and 16 GB capacities, 100$ and 200$ respectively

The shuffle
Has always been the cheapest model starting at 50$- 1gb
it has no screen but plays the music either in order or shuffled


The new shuffle will in corporate and shake feature that will either shuffle or unshuffle you music
I suspect that apple will bring the shuffle back to the stick form but keep the smaller on/off switch
the general controls should stay the same but we may see a capacity raise but constant
It will very much resemble a stylish USB flash but have the ability to play music.
4gb at 50$ pulse the ability to play music will be extremely competitive in the flash market

The iPod Touch

It is basically a hand held video player
with a large touch screen like the iPhone it is about to do all of the same things except those things that require GPS or GSM

However the new iPod touch could very likely have a GPS as well making it compatible with location based apps
A nice addition will be a memory double like all previously mentioned iPods will
16, 32, and 64 at 200$, 300$ and 400$ respectively
this is looking like iPod classic sizes, WOW

THe iPod Classic
I really don't have much of an idea what will happen to this classic product
I suspect a massive price drop, at least to 300$ for the 160GB
it will simple be a hard drive with a screen
There is also a chance of a iPod classic/iPod Touch integration
have one model have full sized touch screen with regular 120GB HDD
increasing the the total capacity will drain the batter to fast
it could be likely discontinued because of this
if silver based batteries come out , the iPod Classic might just survive

That concludes my thought on the iPods

SOrry guys no MacBook or MBP till later this year of even next January keynote
and not tablet till then at least

NOw to home work

It was a prediction
I wrote it before the event
I was pretty darn close
