Rumor-O-Rama: Touch Screen iPods Next Month

The touch screen iPod is more of a "When" than an "If". There's no doubt that we'll see it eventually, but it could be as soon as next month if the information from Digitimes is correct. It claims that the Taiwanese manufacturer Wintek is churning out touch screens ready for an August release. Given the usual scarcity of Apple products at launch (yes, except the iPhone), a late summer release would give them time to ramp up production (and frenzied demand) in time for the holiday season. Digitimes fails to quote sources, but with all the speculation spinning around, there's got to be something from Apple next month, right?
