Reliable sources inside and outside of Apple have confirmed Apple will announce the new pocket-size iPods in a number of capacities and in various colors, including stripes. Capacities will be 2 and 4GB — meaning users could store some 400 and 800 songs, respectively. Prices will start at around $100 US

I currently have a 32MB Creative MuVo, which is pretty hot, but just doesn’t have anything close to a reasonable capacity for me considering I have something in the neighborhood of 100 GB of music at home. If this rumored mini iPod actually comes to market, I can easily see myself purchasing one.
