Unconfirmed: Apple Rumor Du Jour: Touchscreen Video iPod Set to Launch Next

ipod_6gen.jpgWintek is supplying touchscreen panels for Apple's upcoming video iPod in time for an August release, according to sources within the Taiwan supply chain. We're taking this "leak" with a heady dose of skepticism, naturally, but the naming of a specific supplier as well as the date'€"Apple has a healthy history of big late summer/early fall announcements'€"give the rumor some (short) legs. And besides, we all know in our heart of hearts that an iPhone-style-minus-the-phone touchscreen video iPod isn't so much fanboy wet dream as it is an inevitability. So if this pans out, fantastic'€"it's sooner than we (or certain analysts) expected. But if not, it's only a matter of time. After all, some analyst said so. [Electronista]
