Is there a new iPod coming soon?

Wife's birthday is coming up and she wants an iPod. I've heard rumours though (as there always are) that Apple will be updating the iPod soon.

Anyone heard anything more substantial?

Allegedly (?) September 5th.
All I know concrete wise is that, where I work we are now very very low on stock on all ipods, which in my knowledge means there is an update coming very soon

Yep, I read something about an announcement on 5th Sepetember. I'll hold off until then.

I have not heard the 5th (but then i have not read much recently on that front) but every where is say the 'iPod Touch' is coming September.

I am waiting simply because it will mean a cheap deal on a 5.5 gen. I cant see how a touch screen will really enhance things for me, in fact i find them annoying at times - although i am sure the wow factor will be great for people that have not had a touch screen device before. WiFi would be nice though.
