Put your plastic away and back slowly away from the Genius Bar. Rumor has it that shiny new iPods may be headed for the store displays in a couple of months.

There’s nothing worse for a technology company, either in hardware or software, than news of a new version of something hitting the market while lots of old units wait for buyers. But even the rabid secrecy fanaticism of Apple can’t stave off the collective observations of people on the Internet. Engadget’s been collecting a lot of whispers lately:

We’ve gotten a deluge of emails over the last week from readers and insiders speculating about the next iPod release; after all, it’s been a couple months since Apple loosed the iPhone, the new iMac is official and living large, and current iPods have seen a price drop — something that only comes strictly mandated by Apple HQ. What’s more, sources at retailers are continuing to tell us that Apple is slowing down iPod shipments, strongly suggesting the company is running out its current stock to make room on shelves for new product.

A September or October release will miss the prime back to school shopping period, but would put Apple in position to promote a new iPod with new technology and get it in stock for the holiday shopping season.
