Apple flash-based iPod is coming

The rumors about Apple doing a flash-based iPod have been kicking around for a few weeks, and while they ain't official until they're official, AppleInsider says they have some more details about them, including that they'll come in sizes ranging from 256MB to 1GB, retail for below $200, and begin shipping sometime in late January/early February, which almost guarantees an announcement at Macworld in January. Oh, and for anyone holding out hope that Apple might someday do a video iPod, just remember that coming out with a flash-based player pretty much goes against Stevie J.'s previous statements about how most flash players "end up in a drawer". The man is allowed to change his mind.
