Technology & Internet : MP3 Players

At Apple's rock event yesterday, Steve Jobs unveiled the new iPod Nano that now comes with a video camera. The folks over at iFixit have already taken apart this very compact iPod, and they offer some cool photos of the device's components.

Removing the internals... It's a tight squeeze, but we got them out. Getting this iPod open wasn't easy. We don't recommend trying this at home.

AppleInsider is reporting that the long-anticipated iPods with cameras may be delayed due to technical difficulties. Cases with camera holes have been popping up online for weeks, and the new iPods were expected to debut this coming Wednesday. It is not clear if the iPods won't make an appearance at all, or if they simply won't be available for purchase until a later time.

For months, photos of third-party cases for the iPod touch and iPod nano with camera holes have been surfacing online, leading most to believe that the new hardware was essentially a foregone conclusion at the Sept. 9 keynote.

PC World is hedging some bets on whether Apple will be dropping the iPod Classic this week. It seems as if Apple can up the storage capacity of the iPod Touch, no one will really care if the Classic is killed off. Right now that's the biggest advantage of the older iPods with hard disks.

In the era in which the iPod Touch is unquestionably the most exciting iPod and the Nano is the dominant "traditional" iPod, are there any reasons why Apple wouldn't kill the Classic?
