Apple announced that is has sold 275 million iPods till date.

The smallest of the iPods, iPod shuffle’s new model has buttons added. The model sports 15 hours of music and is available in five different colors. Price starting at $49 for 2 GB. The new shuffle can be considered the combination of previous two generations of the models.

To supplement the rumored iPod nano touchscreen photo, cases, and more cases, a video is posted in YouTube.

Apart from the touch screen the video also shows black and white iPhone 4s. Position 1:24 is where the 3X3 iPod Nano screen is shown in the video below, if you are in a hurry.

The truth will sureley come out in less than 24 hours when Steve Jobs takes stage in Yerb Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

The iPod touch never had click wheel and it replaced other click wheeled iPods on its relase. If leaked photos of cases for the upcoming sixth generation iPod nano are true, Apple’s click wheel is seeing its last days. Two sellers in alibaba (1, 2) are offering touch-screen protector and iPod cases for the next generation iPod nano.

The cases suggest a touchscreen iPod much similar to the form factor of the previous generation iPod Shuffle but with much more control with the touch screen. Similar cases were leaked previously and the leak of touch screen of size 1.7inch also reinforce the rumor of the iPod nano of a smaller form factor.

Sept 1 Apple event – Preparation on full swing

A latest leak of iPod cases, by a Chinese manufacturer x-doria, suggest that  the new iPod Touch will have the same form factor as the current model , rather than the flat-faced iPhone. That is in contrast to the previous rumor about the iPod Touch.

In addition to the iPod Touch cases suggesting backside camera and flash holes, another smaller case suggest a smaller iPod Nano 6G without a click wheel. The design reinforce the 1.7-inch touch screen leaked earlier.

Apple is organizing a special event on September 1, 2010 in San Francisco. In the Keynote starting at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, Apple is expected to unveil new iPods, other Apple devices, and services.

Apple has issued media invitations for a special event on September 1, 2010 for reporters, bloggers, and analyst. The event will announce new Apple products and services.

The announcement is as mysterious as ever, leaving room for speculations and rumors of the the probable announcements. A clue – a photo of a guitar with an apple shaped sound hole – might be telling that the event will be media-centric.

Apple will hold the special event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. It was the same place where Apple introduced the iPad in April this year.

Some of the announcement options might be:

New iPod Touch : Following the tradition, announcing a new iPod every September and back-to-school giveaway of an iPod  Touch with every laptop, it can safely be assumed that a new iPod will be released on the day. A high-contrast retina display, a forward and rear facing camera, new form factor following iPhone, and higher speed processor are some of the prevailing expectations.

Touchscreen iPod Shuffle – Apart from iPod Touch, other iPods might also get touch screen in the new announcement.
