As of recent World of Apple has received some more information relating to the 5th Generation iPod’s that were earlier pointed to by Appleinsider.
Expect the new iPods too be thinner than they currently are but no where near the size of the nano, the click wheel will be smaller to cater for a larger screen.
The line will be very much feature differentiated with some iPods including Video functionality and Wireless connections, as rumoured back in July Airport Express will be upgraded to allow video streaming and video out to a TV and the feature will be added to standard Airport base stations.
Expect capacities of 40GB, 60GB and the possibility of a 80GB model.
Our information points to a date of 11th October although Apple may wish to release earlier with October 7th being a possibility.

Wow, that’s some great info, thanks guys!
[hmm..btw, methinks october 11th is more likely because it’s a tuesday. the 7th is a friday and apple don’t normally release products on fridays because they miss out on weekday press]
plus, historically apple releases new products on tuesdays. 11th oct here we come!
