New iPods and Pro Machines?
Appleinsider claims that Apple will be introducing new iPods and Pro Macs in October.
The 5th generation iPods will revise the hard drive based iPods and are rumored to provide improvements in size/form factor. The new iPods are believed to utilize a higher density 1.8" Hard Drive from Toshiba which are available in 40 and 80GB sizes.
Also expected soon are upgrades to the PowerMacs and PowerBooks, but little definitive information is available on these upgrades. Appleinsider previously expected hardware announcements at Apple Expo Paris. Other sites also predicted PowerBook updates for Paris... but no hardware announcements came at the expo.
Dual-core PowerMac updates have been rumored since the announcement of Dual Core PowerPC chips from IBM.

Sweet... Maybe I can talk someone into getting me a belated birthday present... like an 80 GB Video-enabled iPod. :D
And maybe, just maybe, I'll finally call Apple about the warping around the power jack on my PowerBook so they can replace it with a similar (newer) model ;)

What constitutes as 5th Generation? Apple has released 2-4 different new iPods this year. It should be the 7 Generation or so.

Maybe the new iPods will switch to an aluminium enclosure, as rumored early in the year.

It was synaptics. Apple designed clickwheel, but synaptics made it. It was the same with the trackpads on Powerbooks and iBooks. They used to be made by synaptics, but Apple is now making them.
