Full-Screen iPod and iPhone Confirmed

Rumors about a full-screen video iPod and uber-multimedia iPhone have been floating around for quite some time without confirmation, an anonymous source from Apple says that both products will be released around the new year.

According to an anonymous, yet extremely well-informed exec at Apple, a 6th-generation full-screen video iPod will be released some time in December of 2006. As speculated over the past year, the device will include an touch-sensitive LCD screen that will cover one entire side of the device. The touch-screen will include a virtual scroll wheel, and will be able to display videos at resolutions as high as 480p.

Cool...if it's true. Not seen this on any of the usual Apple rumour circuits...but, man I hope they are real. How cool do they look?

I prodded a contact of mine in Apple who remained steadfastly tightlipped...it's more than there job is worth to comment on this stuff.

Either way, I want both!

I did get quite excited when the Apple store went offline today for a while. Alas, only new MacBook Pro's.
