Apple Ipod AV misses shipping Target...

Apple has slipped on what was suppose to be a summer blockbuster for them "the IPOD AV". Technical issues with the 4 inch touch screen device have pushed it back to the christmas 2006 selling season which begins in November.

The slip will also give Apple plenty of time to sign up major studios for the iTunes Film addition that will be announced at the same time.

They of course will be fighting this year with the sub one hundred dollar 7" portable dvd players, Nintendo and Sonys new video game products for those all important holiday consumer electronic dollars...

I wonder what its going to be like watching films with all those fingerprints on the screen?, maybe it will be like the windshields on those Nascar pitstops where you just peal off another layer each time you wanna SEE A FILM...hummmmm
