According to a source quoted by engadget, Think Secret, the new iPods will have some sweet features. In just about 15 hours, Apple will announce what is almost surely going to be an entirely new line of iPods, sans the fairly young shuffle. According to Think Secret, these new iPods will feature an iPhone-esque 3.5" touch screen featuring Cover Flow features. Other speculators stated that the entire iPod line would go flash based, thus taking a step backwards from 60GB and 80GB versions. Flash modules coupled together in these sizes would make the device prohibitive expensive. Personally, I hope to see the 1.8" Hard drives stick around in capacities of at least 60GB. The large and now affordable flash modules can support 16GB or even 32GB iPod Nanos.

I'd also like to see WiFi for all sorts of online support, and most of all, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR for some good quality wireless headphones.
