iLounge has published some information on the upcoming iPod, iPhone, and iPad lineups from a 'highly reliable source'.

If you remember our exclusive first details on the iPad, iPod nano 4G and 5G, you’ll know that our sources’ accuracy level is very high but not perfect, which is about as good as can be expected given the nature of Apple-related leaks. (Except for ones posted by the always impressive John Gruber, who appears to be getting pre-release information directly from Apple.)

iPods
iLounge has heard that there are three new iPods ready to launch this month or next. A new nano, a new touch, and possibly a new 1.7" touchscreen shuffle. Other chatter involves a three-inch touchscreen for the iPod touch, shaving half an inch off the diagonal.

iPad
A seven inch iPad will reportedly be announced late this year or early 2011.

iPhone
Apple is reportedly pushing up the release date of the fifth-generation iPhone to early 2011 (as soon as January) due to antenna issues with the iPhone 4. It’s unclear if the iPhone components will be repackaged into a difference shell. iLounge finds this one hard to believe.

iPhone 4 Bumpers
Apple is currently working on a less expensive all-silicone version of the Bumper to give away after September. iLounge's source says Apple was considering giving away free Bumpers before taking the chance to launch with the bare device.
