This offer might be amended tomorrow to reflect the new iPod versions. Apple would not publish part numbers of unreleased products on an older rebate form.

I don't think so. If I remember correctly, the same thing happened last year. New iPods were released on September 12, 2006 and were not eligible for the 2006 promotion that ended on September 16, 2006.
