New Ipod Generation.
I have been thinking, and i think i have come up with the future of Ipods.
The Nano will replace the mini (which is another reason there is no gen 3 colour mini) and as nand gets cheaper they will bring out a 6GB one to replace the 6GB mini.
Then, the prper ipods will be replaced by ipods with parallel HDD (google get perpendicular) and (i guess) they will be about the size of minis now.
Just my 2p

Quote:
google get perpendicular
what does that mean ?
an ipod with a parallel hardisk ? what in the world.....
Is this meant to be a serious post, or a joke ?
-
Perpendicular magnetic areas I think, much higher density drives than can be made at the moment.

caged, see what your suggesting, I just don't understand nvening's post, not sure if its a serious post, or just a really bad english ?
Why would a portable music player have external parallel hard disks ? and be the size of a mac mini, unless he means they will become house hold music players, along the lines of a squeeze box, not sure what the google comment is all about,
eg: do I google for "get Perpendicular" or does it mean google gets perpendicular technology ? in which case I'm assuming that would mean something like gmail that (from your point about disk caged) has some relation to storage/google.

I think we can all agree the iPod Minis are dead. :)
-
He meant google: "get perpendicular"
Doesn't take a genius :p
-
what a strange and yet interesting way to present harddisk technology
After seeing this animation, the orgional post makes more sense. I actually read it as google was to "get perpendicular" (simple because of the grammar of the post) which is why I was confused

Cracking flash video that :D

Dear ikonia,
I am very sorry for my very poor grammar of my post. Not everyone has all the time in the world to write perfectly perfect (did you understand that?). You will find the there is a lot of non perfectly spoken language on the internet, and used in general day to day speech. You must learn to understand this improper language as best you can, for instance “Google it” could mean a number of things, but, it generally means type this particular fraise into the search box at http://www.google.com/ and press enter onyour keyboard. This action will return a result which will make sense to the original post, or whatever. You did seem to eventually understand this and instead of posting you could have tested this theory and searched for it on the search engine Google to try it yourself. Please accept this apology.
Yours sincerely,
Nvening

i dont think this will happen within 1 generation
i would think that within 3 or 4 years it will be very hard to get a hdd-based mp3 player - the size of mem chips now is nothing- you could easily make a 10 gig ss player.. theres not much market for extra large players (seen anything over 60 gigs? and they were out years ago) aside from video, but i'm not sure that'll ever really take off. as a geeky toy, perhaps, but unless someone starts putting tv progs on itunes equivilent (feasable) i dont think it'll happen.. portable dvd players havent caught on like discmans did..

For all u know in 3 or 4 years we may live on the moon, tech moves that fast! (well...)
anyway, im talking soonerrather than later and NAND is the replacement for flash and is what the nano uses, so its not hdd based.

Erm, NAND *is* a type of flash RAM.
Two types exist, NOR and NAND..
