I love seeing old rumors about Apple reconfigure in a matter of weeks. Right before MacWorld, the rumor was that the Beatles would be added to iTunes. Then, the morning of the keynote, the new rumor came up: The surviving Beatles would be playing at the event. During the keynote, Steve Jobs showed Beatles albums on his iPhone and iTunes library.
And none of it happened. Two weeks later, the rumor's back -- this time to fuel a product everyone wants but clearly doesn't actually exist. Many rumor-mongers, including Leo Laporte, are predicting that Apple will announce a widescreen "Beatles" edition in a commercial during the Super Bowl. I'd love it, but no. Total crap. Apple will not introduce an iPod with the iPhone interface until after the iPhone ships. Period. They do serious damage to the launch otherwise. Will Apple announce the Beatles on iTunes during the Super Bowl? I rate it 50-50. Will there be a new iPod. Absolutely not.
