Apple unlikely to release smaller, cheaper iPods

Don't count on seeing dramatically smaller or cheaper iPod music players in the new year, despite Internet rumors that Apple Computer will announce them next week in San Francisco.

pple does not typically focus its engineering efforts on hard drives. Just last month, an Apple vice president told the Mercury News that the Cupertino company has no plans to make a music player based on flash storage cards. And a spokesman familiar with Cornice's business said he is not aware of a relationship with Apple.

Boy, some big name newspapers, even the BBC I think, are going to have some serious egg on their faces if this is true. Many have picked up on these rumors.
