Major changes, and then Feb is less likely, it'll be the consumer model line's turn. Minor changes, and it's possible.

Alright, that's good to know. Feb. would be right around the time I'll be likely to be buying. I just don't want to buy something and then find out a better one came out just a couple weeks later.
Do you really think Video iPods are on the way? I figured it might be coming before the Nano, but after the Nano, something makes me think Apple doesn't see Video as something many people want or will use in their iPod. Also, recent comments from Apple regarding the Cingular ROKR phone also give me doubts. Particularly Apple's comments recently:

I see increases in battery life, a design change, and increased capacity as likely changes, but I don't see video capable iPods happening yet. Of course, I'm no predictor of the future.
