6th Generation iPod Coming in August?

ThinkSecret reports that Apple is prepping an update to their full-size iPod that could arrive in the "first-half of August".

ThinkSecret believes that the iPod will not feature a touch-screen or a scaled down version of OS X until 2008. Instead, they believe that the new iPod is somewhat shorter than existing iPods but will maintain the current screen and click wheel. If true, this would correlate with a recent mockup posted to 9to5mac.

The saved space will shrink about an inch off the device and give it proportions that in some ways more resemble a BlackBerry.

They also confirm that the recently leaked iPod inteface videos will be used for the upcoming 6G iPod's interface.
