It is now widely anticipated that Apple will be releasing their new range of iPods on 5th September at a media event they have planned for that day.
Rumours have doing the rounds for some time that Apple will be releasing a touch screen iPod and also a new iPod Nano. The new iPod is expected to be called the iPod Touch and will be similar in look to an iPhone. We here do not feel it will have Wi-Fi as this will take away from iPhone sales but could well have bluetooth and the Coverflow feature.
Rumours are circulating that Apple will launch a new iPod on the 5th September.
The new iPod could be a Nano with Video Capabilities and larger storage space. Pictures of how the new iPod could look were placed online but were later taken down due to pressure from the Apple legal team.
Whether its within the next week or month, a new iPod is on the way.
