Apple Computer Inc. recently announced its plans for anew product that will debut in early September. Although the company is keeping the new product tightly under wraps, many think they will introduce an update iPod Shuffle with more capacity.

The company is expected to introduce a larger, four-gigabyte iPod which uses sticks of flash memory rather than a hard disk drive, that would hold about 1,000 songs.

Tom Bajarin of Creative Strategies Inc. in Campbell, CA, and also an industry analyst, said that the news could possibly be of a 4-gig Shuffle.

"The obvious news may be the higher density iPod Shuffle," he stated. "But (Apple CEO Steve Jobs) may have something else up his sleeve. Steve loves surprises."
Apple plans to have a news conference on September 7th in San Francisco.
