Retail Inventory Management Points to New Wave of iPods

Sources familiar with inventory management practices at large retailers such as Target in the US and Argos in the UK say all signs point to a refresh of Apple’s iPod line on the near horizon.

Handheld PDA scanners used by employees at Target show all current iPod models have changed inventory status from “Active” to “Discontinued,” and Argos outlets in the UK have recently taken receipt of new point-of-sale displays promoting “price cuts,” according to a report atAppleInsider.
