Arstechnica and AppleInsider both claim that Apple will hold a major event on September 5th.

Our sources are slim on details for exactly what will be announced, but said that at least one of the things that will come out of September 5th will be a new iPod.

Many sites are reporting that stocks of iPods are dwindling with some sources confirming that stock will be replenished in around 2 weeks time.

AppleInsider notes that although many details are unknown it could be possible to see four new iPod models in the coming weeks.

Recently images purporting to be of the new iPod nano were leaked onto the internet, with the Apple legal team working quickly to remove them.
