Rumor: Could the new iPod touch be delayed?

Went to get my Snow Leopard disc and was talking with one of the guys there, He indicated that "new product" was going to be coming out in less than 2 weeks. He wasn't at liberty to say what it was b/c the computer doesn't tell them whats coming unless its already been announced/released. Other wise, computer says expect 8 boxes on (this day) to be put out (this day.)

There doesn't seem to be much talk of this Cocktail thing in the past few weeks - was it debunked somewhere? The FT in July was reporting the launch of "Cocktail" as a venture with big music companies, scheduled for September: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/0b7b66fa-7a45-11de-b86f-00144feabdc0.html
Interesting if true. Not sure about the link to the tablet, but perhaps that's an essential component in the strategy for delivering all this new 'cocktail' content. Hence the tablet would be marketed as more of an entertainment device/super iPod rather than a fancy touchscreen netbook. Kind of like how the iPod touch was launched - not as a PDA, even though that was the thing which many people immediately focused on in terms of its wider significance and potential. I'm not saying the tablet is necessarily coming tomorrow, because the consensus seems to be that it's not, but I won't be amazed if it does show up in this way and tied in to some kind of entertainment-media strategy rather than being marketed as a straight computing device.

Is there still strong speculation that the iPod Touch will have a GPS? That is the key component for my dough.

Maybe Steve Jobs fell out of his bed this morning suddenly realizing
that an old iPod Touch with a camera attached to it is just lame. He
would have to hurry to come up with something new, though, since the
iPod event is in a few days.

As far as I know, the flying car is on schedule and they are accepting preorders.

Speaking of unannounced products that have been “delayed,” I’ve heard that the Google Human Teleporter that they were rumored to introduce next month is rumored to be delayed, possibly by several decades. Also, “sources” tell me the Chevy Solar Flying Car that they were rumored to be introducing next week may be canceled.

Noooooo! I want my new iPod now! Hurry up and fix the problem Apple!

(Or take your time. I would rather have a delay than an iPod with problems.)

It'll be nice to see the latest iPods, but like the iPhone 3GS, I feel that we're only going to see spec and capacity bumps, perhaps with lower prices, across the board. Maybe there will be camera functionalities added, maybe not. If a camera and what not is added, I could easily foresee potential iPhone customers opting for a new iPod Touch and a MiFi on Sprint or Verizon instead, considering that everything great about the iPhone would truly be on its little brother, save the 3G radio. I'd rather see the fabled tablet in some form.

I have to agree with AJ above; let's see some Beatles' on iTunes. I'll be picking up the remastered stereo box at some point, but it would be nice to see the Apples partner up for once. After all, Steve does love The Fab Four too.

Wasn't the iPod touch announced and not available for a month or more, back when it was first introduced?

I'm just wondering why no one has thought this might be Beatles related (9-9-09), like the full remastered Beatles catalog finally released on iTunes I mean it would be fitting.
