Next iPod delayed - Zune to benefit?

If Microsoft truly are aiming to get the Zune out in time for Christmas, then they will certainly be happy to hear the news that the next version of the iPod, the "true" video iPod, with 3.5" screen, touchscreen, WiFi etc. is unlikely to hit until Macworld Expo/San Francisco in January 2007, according to Think Secret.

This could be a godsend to Microsoft as parents and kids clamour for the latest gadget, but won't want to wait until January. Lots more iPod detail in the source article.
