Other than the details on the Nano, more info is scarce. Although we know the entire lineup is due for a refresher here, it’s unclear what changes might be announced for the other models in the iPod line.

Rumors, iTunes

Kevin Rose has once again spoon fed the world rumors about the Apple Let’s Rock Event next week.

At the forefront of Rose’s latest round of rumors is iTunes 8 and it’s features. Rose has said iTunes 8 will have a Grid view, new visualizer with “trippy” new designs one of which he described as “planet like objects wrapping around each other with stars/light streams.” HD TV programs, and most impressive a new “Genius playlist” that will analyze the characteristics of that song and generate a playlist with similar songs. This is all speculation of course and can’t be proven until Mr. Jobs shows us on stage September 9th.

What do you think we will see at the Let’s Rock Event? Leave a comment, and let us know!
