Apple heeft (aldus http://www.neowin.net/com...hp?id=25602&category=main en http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=745 en de FP) de mogelijkheden voor een wireless iPod gepatenteerd. Beide sites rapporteren uit een op 25 april 2003 aangevraagd patent door Apple:

The document goes on to describe an iPod that can wirelessly transmit music and other information to other media systems: "Another aspect of the media player system pertains to a hand held music player that includes a transmitter for transmitting information over a wireless connection. The transmitter is configured to at least transmit a continuous music feed to one or more personal tuning devices that each include a receiver capable of receiving information from the transmitter over the wireless connection. Yet another aspect of the media player system pertains to a connector that includes a housing and a plurality of spatially separated contacts mounted within the housing. A first set of contacts are directed at a first functionality and a second set of contacts are directed at a second functionality that is different than the first functionality."
Ondanks dat analisten op dit moment niet verwachten dat Apple binnen een korte tijd met een wireless iPod komt bied dit wel een mooie blik op de toekomst van de iPod.Bron: http://www.neowin.net/com...hp?id=25602&category=main
Analysts don't foresee an Apple iPod with wireless capabilities emerging anytime soon, but a newly obtained document provides incontrovertible evidence that the company has been experimenting with wireless iPods for nearly two years. A patent application submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and recently obtained by AppleInsider, appears to portray an Apple iPod with wireless capabilities, including the ability to broadcast music to other devices.
