New iPods announced

From ThinkSecret:
Apple to announce new iPods Monday
By Nick dePlume, Publisher and Editor in Chief
July 17, 2004 - Apple will announce new models of its standard 'white' iPods on Monday, Think Secret has learned.
According to sources, the company plans to unveil thinner, sleeker white iPods with a major announcement on Monday, July 19. While the enclosure will be the same general size as that of current iPods, it will be thinner; it will also have a new scroll wheel of different style and look.
Apple will not announce the new models through a press event, though Think Secret has learned that the announcement will be delivered through an out-of-the-ordinary publicity medium.
While we are not able to confirm the prices of the new iPods, sources say that they will be lower than those of current models.
