Will Apple release the iPod Touch HD before Sept 30, 2009?

Settled as No

Background: More support that Apple is working on what people have been calling the "iPod touch HD" -- a touchscreen, portable Internet device that's bigger than the iPhone: "Taiwan-based Wintek will supply touch panels for Apple's new netbook, and shipments will start in the third quarter this year," DigiTimes reports, citing the Chinese-language Commercial Times. DigiTimes also says that Quanta Computer will manufacture the new device.

While the DigiTimes report is not a smoking gun, it makes sense that Apple would be working on something between the iPhone/iPod touch and its Mac lineup. The netbook market -- small, relatively inexpensive PCs -- is exploding. And Apple's multi-touch gadget platform has been a big hit. So a marriage of the two makes sense.

Is this about an announcement before Sept. 30. 2009 or about the date it becomes available for customers in apple stores/the date the first deliveries arrive from the online store?

Announcing that they will be building the new iPod model with a larger screen for a production run is sufficient. A Mac netbook settles as a NO.
