A lot of rumors are based on wishes

When the rumors start flying it's generally the Mac heads that are
posting their Utopian desires - like 32 gigs of FLASH included in
a $250 iPod.

I tend to be in the group that sorta believes more realistic
rumors. A new iPod that is basically an iPhone without the Phone
part is possible, maybe even probable, because the technology is
there. I would put my 2 cents on a HD instead of FLASH simply
because of the cost factor. Actually I think I might want to buy
one of those.

The other exciting potential is the use of OS X in iPods, like in the
iPhone. That opens up a lot of potential over time and opens the
door to a LOT of speculation.

Now, throw in the fact that Apple has one of the best industrial
designers around - and a guy that gets full support from the CEO
- and you have a potential for designs that are going to be hard
to find during the holiday shopping season.

I don't think the rumors are going to "ruin" the impact of the new
iPod range. There will be some prayers answered and some left
until later, but I'm looking for Apple to deliver some winners.
