http://www.thinksecret.com/news/…"At this time, we are unable to solidly confirm the exact specifications of the new iPods, and cannot commit to a specific release date. However, it appears that the refresh will provide a bump to the size of the hard drive -- bringing the product line to 10, 20, and 40 GB -- while maintaining the current form factor and core feature set.
"The iPod update could come as soon as the early part of this week, even Monday or Tuesday, but could also be in the ensuing weeks. Regardless, across the board there are indications that this release will take place sooner rather than later."

Dammit!!
"The iPod will undergo a major revamp... Apple will reportedly unveil the first radically new successor to the iPod, incorporating a feature set significantly different from today's."
Dammit!
that means if I buy one now, it will be outdated within the next year or so.

Apple To Release New iPods TuesdayBased on multiple pieces of information from Apple's supply channels, we are doing something we cannot recall a rumor/speculation site ever doing before: making a flat, unequivocal prediction of an Apple product release. Let the proverbial chips fall where they may.
On Tuesday, February 25th, 2003, Apple will announce the immediate availability of an updated line of iPods. Features will remain the same as today's 'Pods, with the only changes being hard disk capacity, and that all models will now have a solid state scroll wheel. The new line will include:
10GB iPod @ $299.99
20GB iPod @ $399.00
40GB iPod @ $499.00Apple's marketing theme for the new line will be based around the simple truth that, suddenly, the same money buys twice the song capacity.

"The reality is simply that, even if we had videotaped evidence that, for instance, 50,000 new iPods were sitting in a California warehouse, ready to ship, that fact would not guarantee that Apple would choose to announce or ship them on any particular date. Without being privy to actual Apple Computer information, no amount of third-party information can reliably predict Apple's actions."
