iPod Nano, iPod Touch Revisions in 3rd Quarter 2008?
British chip-maker Wolfson Microelectronics is reported to have not been chosen to supply parts to Apple's future iPods. As a result, Wolfson's stock has plunged by 30% to a 3-1/2 year low.
The decision appears to reflect future supplies for the iPod Touch and iPod Nano, specifically. New versions of those iPods are said to be due in the 3rd quarter of 2008.
"IPods have been a big contributor historically to revenues, so it's pretty disappointing for them," said Nick James, an analyst at Panmure Gordon

Does that mean a new form factor, or just bigger gigs?

It's not a prediction, it's confirmation of what we all expected anyway.
If you want a prediction, i'd say the reason Wolfson is being dropped is in an effort to reduce the price of Nano's & Touch's. We'll see a more integrated SoC solution rather than a standalone MP3/AAC codec.

I don't think there's much room for improvement on either of these other than storage capacity.

Confirmation is when they appear on Apple.com.

This is very interesting news. This is a clue that new hardware is coming soon. You don't drop chip vendors in proven products unless you have a very very good reason.
