    The newsweek story is here.

    The battery life will be around 12 hours, compared to the 3Gs 8 hours. You'll also be able to edit playlists/delete songs on the move.

    No mention of an AM/FM tuner.

    Apparently, apple will knock $100 off current models, as well as discontinuing the 15GB model.

    Looks wise, I prefer the 3G scroll wheel & buttons to the 5G click wheel.

    <edit>There was a news item on the new ipod, looks like it has been slashdotted :D <edit>

    Jilm, i get a gateway error on that site.

    The click wheel on the mini is alot better than the 3rd Gen Touch controls imo

    12 hour battery life is nice though :)

    The newsweek site should be back up now

    Here is another newsweek article http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5457434/site/newsweek/
    also I found this ... http://www.spymac.com/gallery/show_photo.php?picid=200466

    Looks quite nice, I would expect a press release from apple tomorow (hopefully), the backlight is the only aspect of it that I think could be improved upon.
