Conan Obrien Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 (edited) i was thinking about this and dont you think it would be alot better and a lot cooler if the ipod just had something like front row for its os instead of what it has now? (no dvd playing ofcourse) found this on google: personally i think it would be a lot better if it did Edited January 27, 2007 by Conan Obrien Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40161-should-the-ipod-get-a-new-os-or-ui/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soündless Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 i like that. i would actually pay for one if they updated the os a little Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40161-should-the-ipod-get-a-new-os-or-ui/#findComment-286597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.C. Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Me too, the iPod OS is nice but I guess a bit of sprucing up wouldnot hurt. A cool frontrow-ish thing would be awesome.

INFNITE Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 chances are, the iPod will receive an iPhone treatment with a modified version of OS X and a touchscreen interface that's similar to the one on the iPhone.

Universe_JDJ Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hmm.. That looks much better... Let's hope they update it to be like the iPhone.

GBK.Xscape Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 i think the ipod should stay how it is. the ipod and apple products are all about simplicity. thats why it doesnt even have a power button. it only has a click wheel and 4 buttons. any thing more would take away from the ipod itself Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40161-should-the-ipod-get-a-new-os-or-ui/#findComment-287029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.C. Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Which is why I think a Frontrow-ish treatment, would add cool effects and stuff, without taking away the ease-of-use.

GBK.Xscape Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 5 buttons I think the front row-ish look will be nice, it looks much better, and still keeps it very simple haha yea i forgot about the middle button. but how will th front row UI work for ipod nano's? it doesnt have video and it wouldnt look right if it was missing an icon. personally i think the ipod should get some kind of facelift but nothing too dramatic.

BreakTheChains Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 The OS the iPod uses isn't even owned by apple ( I think). It uses Portalplayer or whatever. I bet putting OS X on it wouldn't do much to the price.
