Don't know if someone before me posted this, but is there a different dock connector on the new models? The apple store says the new dock won't work with the other generation models.

that's just for sizewise. the minis have the same physical connector, but they are a different form. same is true with the 4G ipods and the 3G.
 
No lit buttons...

To answer a common question, NO the buttons on the click wheel don't light up. I think this is mainly because they had to get the touch wheel on top of the actual button so there was no real room for an LED to light it up from the back...the Apple engineers might be smart, but they're not THAT smart (although didn't they do that with the mini?).

There's pictures of the new one on iPodlounge.com--the thing that comes to mind is "bare bones apple hardware"...this is truly the ePod as it were.
