Apple patents cheap, relatively small touch screens. This leaves many people wondering what Apple might go for to boost sale for it's lower-end iPod models.
Apple’s patent FIGS. 3a and 3b illustrate an exemplary mobile telephone (336) and an exemplary digital audio player (338). The audio player figure is clearly illustrating a smaller windowed iPod like Apple’s iPod Classic. The mobile telephone and digital audio player of FIGS. 3a and 3b can advantageously benefit from the

The rumored model is akin to the "Comes with Music" deal Nokia inked with Universal Music last December. Apple could not immediately be reached for comment, but the British newspaper reported the negotiations hinged on a dispute over the price Apple would pay for access to the labels' libraries.

"The real challenge that Apple would face is taking this from something that appeals to music aficionados to something the mainstream could appreciate."
Apple revealed late on Tuesday that it has agreed to buy PA Semi, a company that designs embedded microprocessors. Sources close to the deal said the transaction cost the Mac, iPhone and iPod maker US$278 million in cash, according to Forbes.
Apple spokesman Steve Dowling stated "Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not comment on our purposes and plans."
Even though Apple isn't commenting on its plans for PA Semi, it seems possible that it could be considering using the chip maker's designs for upcoming products that rely on embedded processors, like new iPods or even the iPhone.

A new series of patent filings by Apple outlines attempts to modernize head-mounted displays (HMDs) that can be plugged into iPods or iPhones by decoupling the image generation components from the headsets themselves, which would pave the way for more lightweight and comfortable designs.
I am currently collecting funds to help the iPodLinux team get the iPods they need in order to decrypt them. Basically we need to collect about $200, which can easily be done if each visitor donates $1.
The money will be used to buy these iPods:
2G Nano - Broken or Used
3G Nano - Broken or Used
Classic - Broken or Used.
Broken iPod donations are also accepted.
With your help the iPods will be fully compatible with iPodWizard, and iPod Linux.
If you wish to donate (via PayPal) follow this link.
