apple is said to be releasing new ipods with touch screens. anyone getting one?
HERES SOME RUMORED INFO FOR TOMORROWS REVEAL!!!!!!!

iPod Nano

Apple's legal team got involved in two specific instances in the past few months.

In July, we posted user interface videos for the upcoming iPod revision. The authenticity of the videos was the topic of much debate... until Apple asked several sites, including Youtube, to pull the videos. The video interface reflected a more animated interface, with the addition of several features such as Cover Flow and iPhoto Events.

In July, 9to5mac first posted a mockup of shorter/wider looking iPods. Though initially met with skepticism, ThinkSecret corroborated the design in late July. 9to5 later posted expected colors of the Nano as well as spy photos. The photos drew the attention of Apple Legal and resulted in a number of sites receiving cease and desist letters to remove the leaked photo. The photo essentially confirmed the shorter ratio of the upcoming Nano and led to a number of mockups.

While some will continue to argue that these interfaces and photos simply represent prototypes that Apple never intends to ship, we feel its far more likely that these do represent iterations of the new iPod Nano design which will be released tomorrow.

iPod Touch

If we assume that 9to5 had legitimate information about the iPod Nano, we should pay special attention to their claims of a full size iPod which they are calling the iPod Touch. This revision (mocked up here) claims to be a thicker, iPhone-like device with OS X with a 480x320 pixel screen.

Nice. I am still waiting for the touch-screen systems to be out for a least a year before I buy one. Apple doesn't have the best track record of getting new technology all situated straight away (1st gen iPod anyone?)

Only this isn't a first generation. There are several hundred thousand iPhones in the field running with little to no problems (I happen to have one). And by the way, the original iPod of which you speak was how long ago? Look at the recent offerings to gauge Apple's NPI success (iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook, etc.).

Of course, I've been branded an Apple sackrider

I would rather have a gen 1 ipod than the new ipod video that I have now. Firewire, anyone?

ETA actually that's not true...I love the ipod I have now...I just wish it had firewire instead of that STOOPID dock thing.
