    Analyst sees terabyte iPod in Apple's future

    Apple could possibly create an iPod with 1 terabyte of storage, as well as a true “iPhone” says one analyst. “A terabyte iPod might sound crazy today, but we believe in five years a terabyte iPod will emerge as a portable home media center,” says Piper Jaffray senior analyst Gene Munster in an research report obtained by iLounge. “We continue to believe that Apple will enter the mobile phone market. We would not expect an ‘iPhone’ to be launched for at least 12-18 months.”

    The report also discusses possible future plans for iTunes and the Mac mini. “The key to iTunes in the next 12-24 months will be gaining access to more video content… Apple will work with networks, film studios, and other content providers to coerce them into offering more content via iTunes,” continues Munster. “Expect Mac to become a hub for consumer digital media as Front Row technology gets incorporated into the Mac Mini.” The report also mentions a possible AirPort Express for video to stream video from iTunes to TV.

    That depends on how much they charge for their new intel mac's if they charge the same as other magnufacturers they may just become mainstream. My guess is that you will see some sort of drop in price as they are going to a more mass marketed chip.

    That would be sweet my whole music collection on one player yessssssssssssssss.
    A world of invisible people. We pass them without seeing them, as casually and indifferently as we pass our own reflections in store front windows. Do they really live among us? Or are they citizens of another country, a vast and teaming gulag of the dispossessed. No, don't turn away. Look in their faces. Do you see your brother? Your mother? An old friend? Someone you went to school with? Someone you once loved? No? You didn't see them? Not today. Tomorrow you could.

    What the hell would anyone need a terabyte ipod for? A lot of people don't need that much space in their computers.

    Before that can happen. .. Few things must first happen. Terrabyte drives on computer as a standard, and not expensive.. Faster transportation then the usb, so the music wont take days to put on there. Better battery life, i mean really good too!. An operating systems on it to browse by genre, folder, as well as playlist builder that can access the songs quickly, rather then waiting for it to scan the whole drive.
