According to ThinkSecret, there is in fact a bigger screen video iPod in the works at Apple. The new iPod, which will supposedly be released in late-March or early-April, has a 4-inch screen, not a 3.5-inch screen as rumored.
What’s holding up the launch are intense negotiations between Apple and the Hollywood studios over the release of feature-length films on iTunes. Although Hollywood is itching to sell its movies on iTunes, the hang-up is the business model: Steve Jobs wants download-to-own while Hollywood is arguing for a subscription model.
Courtesy of John Paczkowski, this YouTube video purports to show the new iPod…and it’s very cool, with a touch-screen electronic wheel.
