Everyone has heard about the new "Ipod Companions" that may or may not be revealed this week. I've been searching for ("ipod companions" with quotes) in Google over the past few weeks and starting today the Official Ipod Store @ Apple.com came up as the top sponsored link highlighted in baby blue.
If you search for "ipod companion" the sponsored link does not come up. It appears that they have added the keyword "Ipod Companions" to their Google Ad Words account. Could this mean that they are preparing for a new product line release in the coming week?? |

I thought the other thread about the sponsored Google ad (when you search for 'iPod Companions') was interesting, though farfetched. but you'd think if there was anything big behind that tidbit, Apple would have also leased 'ipod Companion' (with no "s"), but that doesn't turn up.
regardless, that made me think of some old rumors and the design of the Nano. remember the gossip of an iPod camera? and an iPod phone? well, what if the flash drive and the screen of the Nano provided the GUTS to such devices, and you could swap out additional cases to convert your Nano into a phone or a camera? the screen could provide the viewfinder - all you would need is a snap-on lens. the power supply might be too weak for all the moving parts, though. and any Apple phone product still seems ridiculous. again, that's a long shot - and i'm certain it wouldn't catch on (that'd be a $300+ phone). but that's what i envisioned with the "iPod Companions" phrase, if there is anything behind that. but then again - thinking about the word "companions" some more - maybe they're thinking about adding wireless functions, allowing people to stream music from nearby users? too much thought. |
