Joining in the speculation

Apple sold 1 million iPod Nanos in the 17 days since launch! Record profits, big stock tumble, and yet another special event tomorrow continue to keep Apple in the limelight. Even by Apple standards, the media frenzy around tomorrow's event has been huge. Rarely (or is it never) have company events hogged as much of the limelight without revealing what the event is all about.

Think Secret joins the bandwagon today by predicting a video capable iPod, even after conflicting reports earlier. The BBC link appears to be real. I think we are going to have a new iPod that is video capable. No movies, but video podcasts, music videos etc. If the hardware in the iPod nano were capable of playing back video, I would even expect a software upgrade to enable the functionality, once iTunes supports movie transfers.

I would not rule out a wireless media player (similar to the Airport Express but bigger and with support for video playback) either. It is known that Apple has been working on such a device. However, 802.11g has limitations that would leave HD out of the picture so Airport would need to be upgraded first. Maybe not tomorrow...
