CNBC's Jim Goldman reports on rumors from "a very good source of [his] with good connections to Apple's Asian manufacturing partners."
Goldman has heard that Apple will be making headlines in the next weeks-to-months related to the iPod Touch, iPhone and ultra-portable laptop.
- iPod touch is said to have had its manufacturing increased substantially to 5.1 million units for the holiday shopping season. - 3G iPhone expected to hit store shelves by May or June. - Finally, the rumored Ultra portable laptop will arrive at Macworld San Francisco 2008.

He says the product will not have a hard-drive, but rely on Flash memory instead and likely retail for around $1,500.

Macworld San Francisco kicks off on January 15th with a keynote speech from Steve Jobs. As always, MacRumors will be providing live coverage.
