Actually, I'm sort of underwhelmed. From what I've seen of the iPhone's iPod interface (I don't own one), this pales in comparison. I want a multi-touch widescreen iPod, and I think Apple will deliver it.

Is this related to what was on Mac Rumors, before the Apple legal folks made them remove it?

That is exactly the same video that Apple Legal had them pull off. But I agree with brentsax. If the next iPod doesn't come out with a Multi Touch Widescreen there will be a lot of disappointment. I know for sure I will be disappointed.

I have mixed feelings, I still like the tactile feeling. I like being able to push the buttons on my ipod. it makes easier when driving (oh no i don't ) With something that is all touchscreen, you would have to fumble with both hands. Sometimes thats just not convenient. Or if you're walking and you have things in your hands, changing artists or songs would be a hassle.

According to Thinksecret, its real...

iPod update on the horizon
July 26, 2007 - Apple's full-size iPod is being primed for an update that could arrive as early as the first-half of August, sources report. The revision will feature neither a touch-screen nor will run a scaled down version of Mac OS X like the iPhone, however—those updates are not scheduled until 2008.
Apple engineers are said to have shaved the height of the iPod while maintaining the same 320x240 resolution display and click-wheel as the current 5.5G iPod. The saved space will shrink about an inch off the device and give it proportions that in some ways more resemble a BlackBerry.
The new iPod, which Apple will most likely refer to as the 6G model, will also be the first to sport a refreshed iPod OS. Sources have confirmed that the recent leak of a video featuring shots of the new operating system are legitimate and say the interface borrows several design cues from the iPhone.
Word of an improved iPod OS first surfaced nearly two years ago; sources at that time shared in confidence with Think Secret that Apple's executive team was strongly pushing for a new interface for the 5G iPod, but that the improvements could not be delivered in time for that iPod's roll-out.
Sources also report the new black iPod will be less glossy than previous models and feature a finish that better matches the black MacBook. Those same sources have also seen prototypes in colors other than black and white, suggesting Apple may finally expand its full-size iPod line to other colors, as it has done with the iPod mini, nano, and shuffle previously. It is unclear whether the decision to offer other colors has been finalized, however.
