5G in the hands of the people

AppleInsider shows photos of the 5G from a reader.

The iPod Garage introduces the latest iPod and mourns the loss of the remote port and Firewire sync capabilities. As they predicted with the release of the 5G iPod, the commentaries have started like this one from a MSNBC writer that after the initial hoopla, the excitement will die down. The Christian Science Monitor (???) calls the 5G's future as "fuzzy," and Australian IT doesn't think the success that Apple enjoyed in the online music download business won't necessary mean success with videos. Bill Maher asks Apple to stop releasing new iPods every month.

From the doom and gloom, let's move on to those who thinks the 5G's the in thing now. Forbes reports that the 5G iPod is an "evolutionary opportunity." The "video iPod" also may not be the first, but it's definitely the best, according to IT Enquirer and thinks that the 5G iPod will usher in the beginning of video internet and the surge in popularity of video podcasts.
