The latest iPod rumors are as follows (thanks to 9to5Mac.com, and TechFresh.net):

  • The new iPod model will be called the iPod touch and it will resemble in appearance to the iPhone
  • Feature 480 x 320 resolution
  • Use OS X
  • Feature the same single button home navigation capability
  • Same form factor as the iPhone
  • Outside rim will be black as opposed to the silver found on the iPhone
  • Will be slightly thicker than the iPod – presumably for the larger drive capacities

Meanwhile, News.com is reporting that Apple will be holding a “special event” in two weeks on September 5th. While it’s not entirely clear what is on tap for this “special event”, most in the industry are expecting Apple to roll out at least one or more new Apple iPod players. Could this be the event where you’ll see the new iPod Touch or perhaps the new iPod nanos too?
