It is appearing like a very strong fact over a rumor now. The video iPod, which I now have two thanks to winning two Jambaz games, will be upgraded to be touch screen like the iPhone.
Apple is preparing to launch a next-generation video iPod in August that features a touch-screen panel similar to the iPhone, according to DigiTimes.
The DigiTimes article goes into further details.
“The Taiwan-based panel maker will begin shipping capacitive touch screen panels in the second half of 2007,” DigiTimes said. “The company noted that its touch screen panels will be used with customers’ own software and ICs.”
Technically Speaking, I wonder if current owners of a video iPod will be given any sort of incentive to upgrade? :)
