ipod announcement on 9/5
the official invite has gone out:

in past years, Apple has announced new iPods in September - in time for Back to School and the holidays. also, retailers are reporting supplies of existing iPods are getting low (which typically happens before new models come out). and also, the iPod lineup hasn’t seen a significant refresh in about 2 years. able to read anything from those tea leaves?
more to speculate about: the image above is of the CoverFlow feature that’s on the iPhone. CoverFlow uses a touch interface, and is not on any current iPod models.
