It's looking like the video iPod is likely for next week as "the next big thing." Do you think we'll be able to download movies from the iPod store for 99 cents? If I were Blockbuster, and I wasn't part of this, I'd be scrambling right about now.
In a research note released to clients on Tuesday, American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu said Apple appears ripe to introduce an iPod with video capabilities and revisions to one or more of its Macintosh products.
The analyst believes that after two years of studying the video market and negotiating with content partners, Apple may be ready to go to market with a first-generation video-capable iPod.
"If Apple can charge under $400 and preferably $299, we believe it will sell well. At higher price points, we believe it may be difficult to drive high volume," the analyst said. "We are also picking up indications that Apple could announce an optional external "video-out" module that attaches to an iPod video meaning one can output the video to a TV or external screen."
The newest iPod is rumored to have a 60 GB hard drive, a video out port and Bluetooth support.
