Well, actually, 6" screen (960x540). It's coming out Tuesday, July 11, and it will be priced at $599. It will display H.264 main profile up to 960x540p 30 fps, with up to 160 Kbps AAC audio. It will hold 80 GB.

Battery life is said to be approximately 6 hours on a single charge.

Does it come with a pony, though? I can't remember where I heard that, but I sure hope it's true. I've always wanted a pony. My very own pony...

It comes with a 10" pony. That may be how the confusion about the 10" started.

Reminds me of that Aerosmith (?) song about another technology now long gone:

Got me the strangest woman
believe me this trick's no cinch
but I really get her going
when I whip out my big 10 inch

record of a band that plays the blues
well a band that plays its blues
she just love my big 10 inch

Well, you can roll up the screen like a newspaper.
Eug, you might want to check your sources, because mine were quite confident that it will be a 976x549 screen.

I'd like to see how much an Apple iPod leather case will cost for an iPod that big. Whatever it is, double the price of a standard for the apple and iPod logos.

10 inch screen! The iPod is supposed to be ultra portable.
