Apple Works on 60GB iPod, Toshiba Manager Works on Resume

Still catching up with news here. Last week several sources reported that Toshiba had plans for a 60GB drive in the same form-factor as the 40GB presently filling iPods. Furthermore, a manager at Toshiba confirmed that Apple is customer #1 for the product and will release a 60GB iPod. Apple, traditionally a very tight-lipped organization, didn't take the news of this leak lightly.

"Somebody opened their big mouth and either it was taken out of context or was 'off-the-record' or this person really did just confirm it all," said a hard drive industry analyst familiar with how technology companies work business relationships. "There is no good way to handle this now. Toshiba screwed up and it could have major consequences, depending on how upset Steve Jobs is."

Ladies and gentlemen, start updating your resumes.
