iPod: that Apple is preparing to celebrate 10 years?

In October, the iPod will celebrate its tenth anniversary.

While rumours evoke a special Apple event for September 7, the truth is perhaps elsewhere. Indeed, on 23 October 2001, Steve Jobs had the iPod, a digital player equipped with a 5 GB 1.8-inch hard disk. From 2004, Apple extends the range with the introduction of the iPod mini, a smaller model equipped with a hard disk that has a 4 GB thumb (MicroDrive), then Apple will continue to decline his iPod with the shuffle, nano and then the last entering the iPod touch, the cousin of the iPhone.

This year, October 23, 2011, Apple will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the iPod and knowing the brand, it is unlikely that this date goes unnoticed. Remains to know what the company in-house us for this event.

Apple has planned out iOS 5.0 and iCloud autumn, i.e. from September 21. Apple could take a new turn with his iPod touch building for example on the game with a screen slightly more big and why not a "made in Apple" joystick optional. Because we must confess, if the game on a touch screen is possible, this type of control becomes problematic for some games, not to mention the fingers mask a portion of the screen. With its App Store and video game studios who invest more and more the Apple mobile platform, the Cupertino firm clearly has the means to compete with existing portable game consoles.
