Apple is predictable when it comes to iPods. For the last several years, they have launched new iPods in September, conveniently, right before the holiday season. This was the case last year, as well as in 2006 and 2005. Once again this year, in 2008, new iPods are expected. September 9th (a Tuesday) in San Francisco at 10 AM is the big day. So what can we expect?
First, everybody is expecting that a redesigned version of the nano is coming. Whether it’ll be the longer/slimmer iPod nano that Kevin Rose has talked about, we’re not sure. Another expected change is an updated iPod Touch. Other than these two changes, no other rumors have surfaced as far as iPods go. We all know how secretive Apple is, so who knows what else, if anything, is in the works.
Maybe Apple will surprise everybody and announce updated MacBook’s and MacBook Pros ? Nah… we’re doubtful on this one. We’re thinking that they will save this update for early 2009.
Anybody excited for new iPods?

I think the price of the iPod Touch models needs to be cut because they have a higher starting price than the iPhone, which includes a cellphone and other features not included in the Touch.
The Internet-ready iPod Touch starts at $299 in the United States, compared with $199 for the iPhone.
I wonder if Steve Jobs will be there. There’s a lot of speculation about his health. People are commenting that he looks very sparse and tired.
Mega-excited
I am going to buy a new nano…*if* they get a good wrap, of course.
More excited for the MacBook (Pro) updates actually. We’re waiting for an update before buying one
I hope they won’t wait until 2009! That’s quite a bit far away..
Man, you are forgetting the 24 month plan you have to add to reveal the real price of the iphone.

Nah not at the moment. Need to see it in action, for my Sandisk Sansa works well for me.
i am waiting for the latest model of ipods. hehe. coz i wanna buy
Forget about the iPod and check out the new Creative ZEN players. Creative invented the iPod inteface which Apple stole. Creative had the first 30GB flash player and recently released the world’s first X-Fi Wireless player with chat and has a true wide-screen player. Apple doesn’t. So, stop going to Apple all the time
I’m sure they will end up lowering it a bit, but if you take into consideration the fact that AT&T is subsidizing the iPhone then it all levels out like it should.
The Creative Zen players are nice, but their interface doesn’t compare to that of the iPod Touch in my opinion. That’s a matter of personal taste though.
i hope that the future ipod touchs have powerpoint and all the other office programs in it so you can do your work on them then they should also have a mini projector in them so u caand project your powerpoints and such on to a wall.
