When I heard there was going to be an iPod Photo I groaned with the weight of predictablness. What do you do when you have a product that is coming to the middle of its product-life-cycle…put a damn camera on it!
However, I read an article which looks at this in a slightly different way, which makes a lot of sense. Apple could never add Wi-Fi P2P built into the iPod, as the music industry would go nuts and fling lawsuits like pie at a circus. The possible way round this is under the guise of 'allowing' people to share their photos between iPods, and…oops…their music too.
Just imagine…sitting on the tube, connected to every iPod in a 10m radius, at 55Mb/s an album would transfer in a matter of seconds. Plenty of time to check out the collections of the people around you. This vision would make iPod sales go through the roof, I know I would buy one.
