San Francisco – A new video-enabled iPod is expected to be unveiled by Apple Computer Inc. during a news conference next week – though the maverick company is masterful at foiling such predictions.
Apple e-mailed invitations that included the words “One more thing …” printed over a background photo that appears to depict theater curtains.
The company, which has pocketed a fortune from the sales of its iPod digital music player, said nothing else in the e-mail, other than to say the press event would take place in San Jose, Calif., on Wednesday.
“From our checks with industry and channel sources, we believe Apple will release a first- generation video-capable iPod,” American Technology Research said in a report Wednesday.
Bank of America analysts said they also are looking for Apple to launch a new video-playing iPod.
