“Apple’s forthcoming ‘true’ video iPod will feature a 4-inch display with a quarter-inch border, allowing the device to maintain dimensions typical of previous iPods, further sources have confirmed. Think Secret first broke word of the upcoming touch-screen iPod in early February,” Ryan Katz reports for Think Secret. “The new iPod remains on track for an announcement possibly as soon as late March or early April but sources caution the roll-out could be pushed back pending an agreement with the movie industry on distributing feature-length content. Apple is said to be looking to launch the first movie content for sale on the iTunes Music Store in tandem with the new video iPod.”

You ever get the feeling that Apple is behind all these rumors?
The last event was a bust so Apple quickly slips out a new rumor to keep the buzz up?
Kind of like a chicken little thing…”Apple´s got a secret new project! Secret new project!”
After a while its….who cares? Just announce the damn things and quit pumping the rumor mill.
Finger prints? Marmalade? Breadcrumbs? No problem!
Each four inch iPod with touch screen controls will come with individual finger cots. Gloves, however, will cost extra.
Griffin is also working on a secret squeegy!
so this realy IS a rumors site….. despite all protestations
If reporting rumors from rumor sites makes MDN a rumor site, then I guess MDN is a rumor site. I think a site has to initiate its own rumors to be a rumor site.
