Taiwanese sources claim Apple will unveil its 8th generation iPod in August and that this new product will feature a touch screen from Wintek similar to the one in the iPhone.

Wintek declined to comment on the news citing customer confidentiality.

The Taiwan-based panel maker will begin shipping capacitive touch screen panels in the second half of 2007, according to sources. The company noted that its touch screen panels will be used with customers' own software and ICs.
