Straight from the founder of Digg and Revision3 and former TechTV host, Kevin Rose. Seems pretty legit, everytime they have a iPod special (this year free iTouch with mac purchase) they roll out a new iPod and refresh the line a bit.

Latest rumors:

- Revamp of entire iPod line.
- Small cosmetic changes to Touch, Nano to see significant redesign (see pic below).
- iPods to see fairly large price drops to distance itself from the $199 iPhone.
- iPod touch 2.1 software, iPhone to get update very soon after.
- iTunes 8.0 ("it's a big update w/new features").
- All of this coming in the next 2-3 weeks.

Rumors for now, but Kevin has some good sources...

So is the iTouch going to drop in price because I just bought one?

All I see is bum

they noticed a mini-usb connector on the ipod and thus deemed it bogus since apple would never abandon their dock connector
