Video iPod Still on Track for Debut?

Apple rumor site Think Secret is standing behind its claim that Apple is preparing a video iPod with touch screen, despite the device being a no-show at the company's special event earlier this week. The site now reports that Apple could launch the new iPod at the end of March or in early April.

The holdup, Think Secret asserts, is the availability of movie content. Apple is said to be in talks with Hollywood studios about selling full-length feature films through the iTunes Music Store. The movies would take advantage of the new iPod's 4-inch screen. The new device is expected retain the iPod's current form factor, with the larger display replacing the scroll wheel.
