Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Apple Releasing Wi-Fi Equipped iPods

— April 13, 2007 — Tech
O.K. - here's one for the music and gadget-lovers out there: an iPod rev that can share music via wi-fi like the Zune. Pretty cool. Even cooler if it has a palm-sized implementation of the iTunes music store. Add'l rumours are giving it a wide/touchscreen similar to the iPhone. Time will tell if these rumours pan out, but it looks to be shaping up for a likely release in 3Q 2007.

Implications - **When writing an extension, add details in from the included excerpt. Stay away from writing fluff. :)

The mere combination of Wi-Fi and Apple iPod technology seems so mind-blowing that I simply cannot wait until the launch in 2007. This is going to be a super-fly way to listen to music and use awesome touchscreen technology!
