A lot of speculations and rumors have been popping up in anticipation of the new iPod that's supposed to be unveiled in a press event two days from now. The latest one comes from vnunet.com who has leaked info from an industry insider. According to the leaked information, the new iPod will have a digital radio function supporting the iTunes store.

This works by broadcasting the music to the device, and if you happen to like it enough, you can purchase it through the iTunes store. The implication of such a function - aside from having free music - is wireless capabilities for the new line. Wi-Fi would be the first thing to come to mind, a particularly strong suspicion, too, since that's what everyone wants and expects from the new iPod.

Apple is maintaining the allure of secrecy as the theories for the new model pile up. The new iPod has a lot of hype to live up to, and we'll find out if they match up to it (or more!) after the press event on September 5. Check back for updates!
