Viewers would be able to rent programs from News Corp.’s Fox for 48 hours, said the people, who declined to be identified because the discussions aren’t public.

Apple will introduce a new version of the Touch with a higher-resolution screen -- similar to the display featured on the iPhone 4 -- and a $99 version of its three-year-old Apple TV set-top box, one person said. The new Apple TV, which will have a smaller hard drive than the earlier version, is aimed at letting people stream content from iTunes, the person said.
The iPod Touch with retina display makes sense. The ATV sounds more evolutionary than revolutionary and TV rental seems pretty logical.

The article isn't speaking of other bits and pieces of rumors like the iTV (the renamed AppleTV) will be running iOS and will be able to run apps. This will be an interesting alternative to Google TV. You want HBO? Get their app and pay a fee. Channels will become apps and you'll be able to pay for just what you want.
Wireless sync'ing would be a huge "about time!" feature. I download podcasts everyday and having my iTouch to sync everytime I come back home would a huge plus.
