Here comes another hot new rumor for Wednesday’s upcoming event. This time around the Digi Times claims to have it from insiders in Taiwan that the new iPod video line will be widescreen and include Wi-Fi, touch screen UI ala iPhone and will be significantly slimmer thanks to its flash-based memory. Shipments are expected to go out at the end of this month or early October.

The iPod Nano and Shuffle will be revamped, as if you didn’t already know, with a boost in capacity and iPhone-like UIs. Prices will remain unchanged. Fact or Fiction? We’ll see in a couple days.
