Think Secret has just posted an article detailing a new release of the iPod Mini which is expected sometime in the next couple of weeks. Apparently, the update will include a 176×132 colour TFT display.

The updated iPod Mini may also include a larger capacity hard drive, either 5 or 6gb in size. This should help Apple to stay ahead of the competition in this market, and continue the innovation which is increasing their market share every day. The colour screen is apparently an update which will be happening across the board over the next year or so, with new releases bringing a colour screen to every type of iPod.

I suppose I would be interested to know what exactly it will be which makes the iPod photo so special once this is the case. If I was to upgrade to the photo, it would have been because of the colour screen. The ability to store photos on it doesn’t really set it apart from the other iPod line really - I imagine that it is a feature which not many people will use. All will be revealed!

So, if you are wanting to upgrade your iPod Mini when the new ones are released, I’d put your old one on eBay now. As soon as these new ones are released, selling prices on there will plummet.
