Most of these images are being called fake (rightly so) but there is some substance in these rumours - http://hrmpf.com/wordpress/54/touch-sensitive-ipod

i like lot ... touch screen, when will this thing be launched?

 

[Vox Populi Vox Dei]

Here is some additional info, although this is pure speculation:

• Display is a widescreen-type LCD with a resolution of 480 x 272, 16M colors
• 2 capacities will be available - 40gb ($ 449) and 80gb ($ 599)
• Plays h.264, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 videos up to DVD (720x480) resolution
• Video output quality is greatly improved over the iPod
• Has an IR port compatible with the Apple Remote that ships with iMacs
• Battery life will be around 5-6 hours for video, 18-20 hours for audio (screen off)
• Main menu will be much like Apple's Front Row application
• Comes with a full version of Quicktime Pro for making and converting videos
• Comes with an AC adapter & basic video cable
• A dock and upgraded video cables will be available as accessories
• Does not have line-in video recording capability

Of course, many of us were expecting something like this sooner or later. ThinkSecret reports that we could see it as early as April, when Apple is holding a special event for their 30th anniversary.

Cheaper to buy a new ipod than fix the screen.
