A Non Touch iPod Coming?

With all the hoopla around wirelessly connected music players, some of them developed by start-ups like Music Gremlins and Zing, many are wondering whether Apple will go that route as well? Who knows, but a report in The China Post, says that the company might be about to introduce a new kind of iPod. In story about Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Taiwan’s largest electronics company, and makers of iPod, there is a curious quote from company chairman Terry Gou…

Apple is about to unveil the next generation of iPod, the best-selling music player in the U.S., using a “none-touch” concept, Gou said without elaborating.

My guess (repeat guess) on this would be a bigger screen video iPod. Connectivity would be nice… but not without battery power.
