iPodFilter: 60GB Model in time for Holidays?

Toshiba has announced a new 60GB drive in the 1.8" form factor presently used by the iPod. Reportedly Apple has already ordered a large quantity for what would be the highest-capacity iPod to date.

Toshiba notes that the new drives (also available in a slimmer 30GB model) consume 20% less power than the previous 20GB and 40GB models. Unfortunately, they won't be available in quantity until near the end of the year. Apple will likely be one of, if not the first customer to get them, so 60GB iPods may appear by holiday gift-buying time. [Via Mac Observer]
