It all started with murmurings reported at Think Secret. The usual "reliable sources" said a new batch of iPods was going to be announced in the first 3 weeks of August. This 4th generation of iPod would be markedly smaller than previous models, offer larger capacities (most likely including a 60GB choice) and come in a number of colors, a first for the full-size iPod. Furthermore, the new form factor will be the new "standard" iPod size along with the iPod Mini form factor. Also, Gizmodo has chimed in with possible looks for the new iPod and confirmed that electronics buying managers were hearing of an early August launch.
