New iPods in Q3, says the rejected component supplier

Wolfson Microelectronics has apparently been shafted by Apple and will not supply parts for the next refresh of iPods. An individual close to the matter has revealed to Reuters that a new iPod Nano and iPod Touch are slated for a Q3 release. This falls in line with historical iPod refreshes/introductions as they typically come out in September or October. There’s no word on whether they’ll see a bump in storage or a complete overhaul. I’m banking on the former.

Someone’s feeling like a jilted lover, though. Can’t really blame them. I’d probably reveal secrets, too. You know you would.
