ipod flash rumours spread.. in a.. err.. flash
As the Macword expo creeps slower, there seems to be quite a bit of conjecture as to whether Apple intends to release a flash version of the iPod. Cult of the Mac (they're a bit keen on apples) have slobberingly announced that the above mockup by Isamu Sanada of applele.com fame as convincing enough for them. They also link to John Gruber's excellent reasoned piece about why apple are not going to release a flash player over at Daring Fireball. Personally I'm siding with the guy with the numbers - to dilute the ipod by giving it substantially less storage would damage the brand, and any short term boost Apple got in terms of sales for a cheaper flash based ipod would be offset by releasing an iPod style product that simply didnt do the name justice.
As a later update and for added bonus speculumulation, the mac mind features another mockup and seem very certain that its going to be a happening thing. I still have my doubts and wouldnt go hanging my credibility on such a thing unless I knew for certain this is the way that things are going to go. themacmind.com article.
