All digital products will be outdated, because there always is a new one.

I just bought the 2nd generation iPod touch, and if apple makes this new touch will my iPod now be outdated?

Steve, if the rumored device has a 7 to 9″ screen than it won’t be very pocketable. But I see your point in making sure its not another device with a case and a power extension and all those unwanted accessories, and I agree.

One thing I keep thinking about is the OS. If it’s an embedded version of Leopard that’s one thing. But if it’s the iPhone OS than a lot will need to be refined and changed before I make that purchase. I just feel that touch technology needs to mature a considerable amount before it becomes the “go-to” OS for people during productivity spats.

The larger iPod Touch must still be pocketable. The “concept” is a Mac that we have with us all the time, everywhere we go. I simply won’t buy another mobile Mac that I have to lug in a case. And imagine what an anywhere, anytime Mac can feature as services!

Nor should anyone have to buy more than one Mac. So the “MacTROU” (for The Rest of Us) must be untethered, like the Kindle, using EVDO. And better than the Kindle, this gizmo connects to all your files on MobileMe.

Apple can charge whatever it needs to for the mobile Mac, for the connectivity, and for a subscription to MobileMe.
