New iPod?

Technology news Web sites have speculated that Apple could launch a
new video iPod with a large touch screen similar to the iPhone, and a
redesigned iPod nano in time for the end-of-year holiday shopping
season.

Apple has distributed invitations to a September 5 event in San
Francisco, but did not reveal what it would be about.

"The product announcement is likely to include a full line-up of
revamped iPods with significantly greater functionality at current
price points, including the much-anticipated full-screen video iPod,"
Goldman said in a note, urging investors to buy Apple shares.

Goldman said September 5 would bring "the almost certain launch of a
new family of iPods" ahead of the holiday season, which accounts for
the biggest chunk of sales for that part of Apple's business.
