Meet the new flash memory iPod

UPDATE TUESDAY 11:29 AM:
So I was wrong about the iSock. It streches around the ipod mini. my apalogies. But Jobs did announce a flash iPod Shuffle. More info here. The Shuffle will come with 512 Mb or 1 Gb, costing $99 or $149

original post (to show how wrong I was...)

Apple had a little surprise in mind for the foreign media attending an event this evening. We didn't find the new flash based iPod that Jobs is rumoured to unveil tomorrow at his keynote on our table. But there was this "sock", 4 by 2 inch, with a little label with "iPod" on one side and the Apple logo on the other.

An Italian colleague told me that he saw workers put up a large banner on the side of the Moscone Convention Centre in San Francisco where MacWorld is taking place, displaying the new flash based iPod, only to cover it up  later.

The device will have 1 Gb memory. And based on the size of the iSock we received, it should be pretty thin and about 4 by 2 inches in size. If you don't believe it, just wait another 8 hours (from the time of this post) we'll know for sure when Jobs delivers his keynote.
