Rumors of new iPods.

According to a rumor recieved by Kevin Rose (kevinrose.com), new iPods are on their way.  Rrumored are small changes to the iPod Touch and a redesign of the nano.  Large price drops are also on the way (horay!!), 2.1 software for iPod Touch and iPhone, iTunes 8.0 (big update w/ new features), and all this coming September 9th.  I sure hope so.  The date makes sense with when Apple released new iPods last year.  On TWiT 157, it was also said that iTunes 8.0 would include song recommendation features such as in Pandora (www.pandora.com).
