These guys think so
"Apple Computer in December will begin manufacturing a third variant of its flagship iPod music player, which will be based on solid-state flash memory, AppleInsider has confirmed through well placed and extremely reliable sources.
According to contacts in Asia, the computer company will build a stock-pile of approximately 2 million flash iPods before the product begins shipping world-wide in late-January or early February. The new players are slated to be announced at the annual Macworld trade show in San Francisco during the second week of January."
I remain skeptical. I had predicted a 6 GB mini at $249 (since Hitachi has already announced the drives), and then a 4 GB and possibly 2 GB Microdrive based unit for the sub $200 segment.
