Boom Shake Shake The Room

Engadget reports on the latest iPod rumour doing the rounds on the usual "I Know What Apple Did Next Summer" type sites.

Apparently, a new verison of Apple's flagship iPod product is now headed for that dusty shelf in your living room, bedroom or study in the shape of a wireless enabled hard disk'ed up "Boombox". There is already a raft of other (expensive) speaker systems for the iPod so it seems common sense that Apple would provide their own system too. If it wireless connects and syncs to my iTunes too then that would be cool.

A basic iPod docking speaker system would be too "low tech" for Apple to make, so expect it to have lots more bells and whistles. No doubt it will be some kind of iPod docking device that allows you to connect to iTunes, and the iTunes Radio stations too over your wifi connection. Add the ability to sync the tunes on your pod' to the internal hard disk too for when your battery is dead and that will probably be something near to the final product.

The device may be announced at the Mac Expo early next year.
