I have it on good authority that the announcement on Wednesday will actually be announcing two related products: a new iPod and a pair of bluetooth sunglasses. These glasses will have micro video cameras mounted stylishly on each arm that stream the sounds and visions of your life wirelessly onto a new 100GB iPod.
Life, stored as two video+audio channels in VCD quality requires about 1.3GB/hour. So your new 100GB video iPod will hold about 5 days of waking life which you can review at your leisure with the ease of the scrollwheel. Clicking the centre of the scrollwheel will also bookmark important moments in your day for easy access later.
But that's not all. These bluetooth sunglasses will also feature stereo retinal projectors which will enable users (and I mean "users" in all the senses of that word) to vididly relive moments from the past. Built-in wifi in the new iPod will also let users trip out watching flashbacks from other peoples' lives who are nearby or even across the world. Imagine being bored on the bus or metro when an adhoc Rendezvous network of these devices puts you in right in the middle of someone else's life.
Time and place shifting digital out-of-body flashbacks, brought to you by Apple.
A new version of iMovie will help you edit your memories and control public access to your visions.
You heard it here first.
