Don't get your hopes up. My money is on a very small offering perhaps starting with the 44khz 24bit Beatles catalog and not much else. I would be shocked to see anything above 48k right now.
EDIT:
No, current ipods do not support 24 bit files
I may be too cynical, but ALL they are talking about is offering 24bit/256 kbps instead of 16bit/256 kbps. If by some remote chance and divine intervention Apple sells DRM-less 24bit lossless files, I will kiss Steve Jobs' feet and immediately buy every Apple product to show my gratitude. Heck, I'll do it for 16bit lossless files.
"iTunes Plus tracks encoded at 256 kbps and lacking any DRM restrictions, eventually shifting the store's entire catalog over to iTunes Plus tracks."
