The rumor mill is ramping up yet again. Engadget seems more certain, however, that this time it may actually come to fruition.

From the article:

...when not only one, but multiple trusted sources get in touch to let us know Steve Jobs & Co. are supposedly finally about completed with the wireless / video iPod, we have to take note. Supposedly they're preparing to announce the device in the very near future, which we've been told is both wireless and widescreen...

Me too, but I have a feeling that if this thing is for real, it may not actually replace the 5.5G iPod but be a "new breed" that lives alongside the others.

Then again, maybe not.

So did I. Still, I suppose that the 'true' video iPod won't happen until more movie studios jump into the iTunes store, in about six months. And, they better get some serious battery life going too...

What's with all the speculation about wireless capabilities? I'm used to being pleasantly surprised by Apple, but I just fail to see the usefulness of it. All I can think is "gimmicky feature bloat." Well, that and battery drain.

Also, I can't imagine why they would waste time with the most recent improvements if they were going to update it again that soon. Sure, everyone wants the "true" video iPod soon, but that doesn't mean it's ready. I'm thinking January's Macworld sounds like a good time, followed in March by a special event for the new iPhone (coincidentally when my current Cingular contract is up). See what wishful thinking makes you predict?
