By the Betanews Staff | Published August 29, 2007, 11:21 AM

Apple sent out invitations to a special event it is holding on September 5, which indicate the company is preparing to launch new iPods in time for the holiday season. It is largely expected the iPods will incorporate a touch-sensitive screen and "Cover Flow" user interface found on the iPhone.

Rumors of new iPods have been circling for months, and the timing is right for a new generation of the ubiquitous portable media player. Apple is holding the event at San Francisco's Moscone Center, which indicates it will be a large gathering, further fueling speculation that a major product announcement is in the works.

Nope, business wise it's probably a bad move for Apple. The iPhone will suffer even more if they do.
