August 24, 2006 By Ivo


If you find yourself drooling at the latest iPod models everywhere and wondering if you should give in and trade in your older model, think again. In about 5 months, these slick players could very well be dinosaurs.

Additionally, there’s the “real” video iPod featuring a touch-screen display, plus the long-rumored iPhone.
