Apple to release another Ipod Touch for telly
PEDDLER OF SHINY TOYS Apple will introduce a model of the Ipod Touch with a higher-resolution screen.
According to Bloomberg, the new model Ipod Touch will have a display similar to that of the Iphone 4, only it is unlikely to need a rubber band to work. Apple is also planning a $99 version of its three-year-old Apple TV set-top box that will have a much smaller hard drive.
It is all part of Apple's cunning plan to push into television and spread its cult religion to those who have never heard of an Imac. Steve Jobs' theory is that people are daft enough to want to watch high-resolution telly on a screen the size of a postage stamp.
Bloomberg was looking at agreements that Jobs' Mob is negotiating with Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. Apparently Apple wants to let Itunes users rent TV shows for 99 cents and is in discussions with other media companies about similar deals.
Currently on the books is a plan to let viewers rent programs from News Corp's Fox network for 48 hours. We expect that ABC, CBS, NBC Universal and Walt Disney, where Steve Jobs is a board member and the largest shareholder, will all join in.
The INQUIRER first heard about a refreshed Ipod Touch back in July. µ
