Sources reveal Apple's new iPod lineup with part numbers
Just hours before Apple is set to announce its new lineup of iPods, people familiar with the matter have revealed to AppleInsider part of the alleged product refresh, complete with purported model numbers.
A historically reliable source provided the list. The alleged lineup shows no capacity increases for the iPod nano and iPod shuffle, though the new 160GB iPod classic would be a bump up from 120GB.
In addition, there is no iPod touch included, which could possibly be due to rumors of technical issues.
AppleInsider also has reason to believe there could be significant changes to Nike+ technology announced at today's event, scheduled for 10 a.m. Pacific Time, 1 p.m. Eastern.
The alleged partial lineup provided, with model numbers, is as follows:

Also one of the new 64GB Touch iPods, when they start shipping.I'm not expecting anything special this time...
iPod, is just so overrated. :P
for $200?
that would sell like wildfire
Wonder if this is just Apple trying to set expectations?
That would be ... disappointing.

yep, as always, with most of rumours. Naughty Apple...
I wonder if we won't see a new Touch until it comes out in Jan alongside a companion tablet-size model? The old Touch (now cheaper) and the Classic will fill in for the holiday season. Just a thought.
Do source think there might be a new iMac? Because Intel just released Core i5 this week.

all iMacs and Mac Mini's use the same laptop CPU's as MBP's. Mac Pro's use the same server CPU as xServe's and HP/Dell servers. Unless Apple comes out with a new desktop line, iMac's will stay the same until the next laptop CPU from Intel

No iMac announcement. This is gonna be an iTunes/iPod event. Apple typically keeps these events to one or two related topics.
As well Intel announcements don't usually lead to Apple announcements. Apple announces their products on their schedule, not anyone else's, and Apple typically announces new hardware well after Intel, as the past has shown.
Its the key product in the iPod lineup now.
but still waiting for new imacs..
follow AppleStoreCheck on twitter and be the first to know when apple store is offline ;P
