The deets are slim, but they come straight from a BBC News article, so we’re thinking there just might be some weight to them. Apparently the UK’s BBC is planning their very own DAB device to act as “clip-on” addition to current MP3 players. Such functionality extension brings the iPod and its dock connector quickly to mind, but BBC isn’t naming any names as far as partners go. Right now they’re mainly studying the feasibility of such a device, with the main goal being to “make sure that people can listen to digital radio on their own terms.” They’re also looking into versions for mobile phones and cars, and say they’d “like to get something out sooner rather than later.”

BBC accidentally reveals video iPod?
Want some more evidence that Apple is getting ready to drop a video iPod on us next week? (Yeah, we know this contradicts what ThinkSecret reported earlier today about Jobs unveiling new Power Macs and PowerBooks.) Well, according to our good friends over at iLounge, earlier today BBC 6 accidentally let slip that, “Apple is set to unveil a new video iPod at the BBC Television Centre in London on October the 12th,” and that the company is “expected to reveal details of the new MP3 and video player as well as video bundles to be available from the company’s iTunes stores.” Stands to reason that the BBC would be one of Apple’s content partners — they’ve been notoriously forward-thinking in their plans to put their TV and radio show archives online — and somewhat suspiciously the broadcast mentioning the new iPod has since been pulled from the BBC’s website. The plot thickens.
