OS X Based iPods at Media Event in September?
The rumor site expects "as many as four new models" many of which will utilize NAND flash memory, as well as the long awaited "full screen iPod".
Sources in the Far East -- where Apple manufacturers its digital music players -- have recently vouched for sightings of a "full screen" iPod, which they believe will finally make its debut ahead of this year's holiday shopping season.
Appleinsider also confirms that the leaked interface videos consisted of genuine material for use on a click-wheel based iPod, also bringing in features such as iLife '08 "Events", and CoverFlow to the iPod interface.
Also, they teasingly mention the possibility of a new family of digitial devices due in 2008 also based on OS X. No details are available on these upcoming devices.
The upcoming iPod revisions have been the focus of many recent rumors, with the most recent Nano images pulled from various sites at the request of Apple Legal.

lets just hope (or i for that matter) that they bring back firewire support.
Not going to happen. They ditched it for good reasons. One, it made financial sense to cut out components that the vast majority of users wouldn't need. Two, it allowed them to shrink the device substantially.

God, that would be nice....and out of left field too!!
I'm eager to see what Apple brings now....despite not being a huge fan of the new iMac Al.

Would be nice, but I don't see it happening. At least current models still charge with the firewire power brick.
I think this is great, although I doubt I will buy one. Had they came out even just a year ago I would have been all over it, but I honestly don't use my current iPod very much anymore. Anymore I would rather just have a nano for exercising and casual listening.
I wonder if they'll look like this...
That looks awesome. Losing the click wheel type design would be murder for the iPod, its what makes it iconic. This would be a great way to intergrate this into a touch screen iPod. I'd buy that in a hearbeat.

I know, I know and usb is cheaper and firewire is not standard for most pc users. I just like firewire better.:(
