iPod Rumors: Flash based capability and built-in radio

A couple of rumors have just been placed onto the Internet about Apple's very popular iPod. The first is about the potential that a new version of the iPod line using Solid State flash memory version could be released by December. If they did have a solid state iPod it would allow the Apple designers to create a player that was much smaller in physical size and have a longer battery life but a smaller music storage capacity.

The second rumor is that a future iPod version may contain a radio. This second rumor is based on a recent job advert from the Apple iPod division for a RF Engineer. As the source of this rumor is a little more sketch I would say that this could also mean that a wireless remote or WIFI support could also be inferred by this job advert.

It will be interesting to see where apple goes with the iPod in the future.
