Keeping the rumour wheels spinning like they've been lubed with go faster grease, Apple's iPod is the subject of more and more speculation at the mo as to what we can expect to see in its next incarnation.
While talk of a full touchscreen 'Pod remains robust, there are numerous other opinions out there. Word of a new shorter and fatter 'Pod is actually, according to specialist website 9to5Mac, the new Nano, reputedly a two-inch square design with the familiar scroll wheel, video playback and 4GB and 8GB flavours. We should also see a new choice of colours but a static price point.
The big interest is in that range-topping touchscreen 'Pod, or 'phoneless iPhone', as it's being described. Some sites are even claiming a 7 August launch date, with shouts made that it's already shipping to the States. Apple has confirmed a new launch on said date, but only of a new line of Macs, but then again Mr Jobs is fond of surprises…
