New iPods Could Be On Their Way

If you are planning to pick up an iPod and have patience, you might want to wait, according to Engadget. Their sources show that Apple has slowed down iPod shipments, which suggests that a fresh release is right around the corner. Other facts to go by would be that the iPhone is now released, as are the revamped iMacs, and also that there’s been a new iPod every year since 2003. Oh, don’t forget the fact that Apple fans will rush out to buy a new iPod even if their current model is fine. What’s Apple to lose when releasing a new iPod? Nothing!

Do we have inside dope from Apple on this one? No, none at all. Just a lot of retail reports and mounting evidence that suggests a pretty obvious conclusion. Yeah, we expect new iPods this year (seriously, why wouldn’t there be?), and if we were gamblin’ men we’d put our money on the September – October. Of course, we know Steve will totally read this and launch in November or December just to mess with us, but hey, as long as the masses get their music players before our annual present-opening ceremonies, everybody’s happy.
