iPod + Sirius Satellite Radio Rumor
The folks over at Orbitcast are all abuzz over rumors that Apple is going to announce a statellite version of the iPod at the upcoming Macworld conference this January. As they put it:

"From Apple's point of view an iPod Satellite would certainly offer a unique high end feature that would trump the FM radios found in a number of competing units. Some pundits have been listing XM and Delphi's latest MyFi portable satellite radio as an iPod competitor, but it is not an MP3 player. The iPod Satellite could be the first to converge both technologies. Is it Real? All this sounds nice, but that doesn't mean any of it is true. As Apple is always tight-lipped on new products prior to their announcement, any effort to get them to confirm such a player is only an act of futility. Likewise, the Sirius PR folk will be sworn to secrecy. We'll have to wait until January 11th to find out."

My bet is that the IPod will not go Satelite this January. Any takers?

If Stern was switching in 2005, I'd take your bet. But I think Apple might want to see what the ramp-up is to his arrival in 2006 before it really commits.


 
I see it more as a battery and form factor issue. Jobs is obsessed with style and there is no way they can add in a satellite receiver and keep the iPod slim and sleek.


 
Jobs, who championed the Lisa, is obsessed with style? Man, age does change a person... ;-)


 
I think that we would be hearing a lot more about it if it really was going to come out. Maybe it will .. just be delayed..
