DigiTimes claims that Wintek has been given the contract award for producing the the panels of Apples upcoming iPod refresh, which DigiTimes notes will be in August. The touch screens will reportedly be similar to the iPhone's touch screen.
Steve Jobs made comments during a town hall meeting of Apple Employees that the Mac OS X group was working on unreleased iPods as well as the desktop OS and iPhone OS.
Analyst Gene Munster recently chimed in, stating he believed that the updated iPods would come by Macworld 2008.

I'm guessing it's too early.. If they released it now, it would cannibalize the iPhone sales. (or, it would have to not incorporate stuff like notes, web-browsing and stuff. Just be a plain iPod. But why produce such an expensive iPod if nothing is gained apart from CoverFlow?
On second hand - I'm just plain stupid. You've got the huge screen for videos - that's enough for me wanting one. :)

2 scenarios:
1. iPhone only through xmas so that it is the hot holiday gift. Then new iPods at MWSF 08.
2. new iPods in either September or November in time for xmas.

Lots of rumors recently without any basis. JP Morgan retracted the iPhone nano claim yesterday. I am sure Apple is working on new iPods - that is expected. But, no one knows when it will be out.

Bringing out a 120GB wide touch screen iPod now would not stop me wanting to get an iPhone once they release over here, it would just make me a happy man now.

August makes much more sense. The Macworld rumor just doesn't fit Apple's MO of carpet bombing consumer gear for XMAS.

I think it is in Apple's best interest to make a new iPod before Christmas that doesn't have a monthly fee attached to it. I would love a new iPod that is geared around playing videos rather than just music. Give me a large screen. I don't think they need to include internet access either, although that would be nice.
