Apple Releasing Wi-Fi Equipped iPods

O.K. - here's one for the music and gadget-lovers out there: an iPod rev that can share music via wi-fi like the Zune. Pretty cool. Even cooler if it has a palm-sized implementation of the iTunes music store. Add'l rumours are giving it a wide/touchscreen similar to the iPhone. Time will tell if these rumours pan out, but it looks to be shaping up for a likely release in 3Q 2007.
