Judging by all your previous posts (and your name), I'm really struggling to understand why you're on an Apple forum site.
Because I have a 1st gen iPhone (rock solid) and a 3G iPhone (POS) and am tired of Apple putting our product after product and not fixing the problems with their current product line.
I bought the 1st iPhone because I was tired of MS Mobile because it was a horrible interface and was and still is riddled with problems.
I'm seeing the same pattern with the iPhone 3G.
Just because I'm a Windows Guy doesn't mean I can't have a Mac Phone.
Good choice first time really BAD choice with the 3G.
That's why I'm in a Mac Forum. Why are you here other than to give me **** for my Screen Name?
Edit.
I've also owned every iPod since 1st Gen.
I'm glad that they're going back to the 2G form factor for the new nano, I bet this thing will look beautiful in person!
What I am curious about is the lack of the standard 30-pin connector...
There must be a VERY good reason to change, and make all of the millions of add-ons obsolete...
You can't see the bottom of the case so how do you know there is no dock connector? Those other pictures that were going around recently were clones.
If the new iPod nano has a tall and narrow screen that means less information can be displayed horizontally compared with the current "fat" version unless you turn it on its side. Then the markings on the clickwheel will be sideways as well. It is not a very "Apple" design. More like something from Microsoft.
I think the point is for a true 16:9 to fit better in the hand, you have to go back to the candybar shape or else the already fat nano would get even fatter. About screen size/proportion Zune knock-off, to me it's like saying everyone was a knockoff who made a LCD or plasma TV after the initial one was released. It's just becoming standard now for the screen to be more of an integral part of a pmp even in the smaller players.
I still don't believe this thing is even a legit new iPod Nano. Why would Apple go for this new curved design? Nano means small. Technology is only getting better allowing for thinner designs while adding bigger screens. If Apple wanted this to be the next Nano, they would have done this a year ago. This new design isn't progressive, it's just a look of the past.
If this is the new iPod, then Ive has seriously gotten bored. Nothing about this "Nano" sets it apart from competing digital music devices like iPods always have.

Ah the circle of life turns once more. Seems like only yesterday when photos of the "chubby" nano were leaked to a chorus of, "I call fake, Apple would never release anything that ugly".
Then leaked photos of the new 4G nano one to same, "I call fake" chorus. Now confirmed pictures of the case and everybody suddenly thinks the chubby is the best thing since sliced bread.
It's weird how Apple fans work. If they release a gold plated nano encrusted in diamonds for $100, there would be complaints.

No guys....
That is the new iPod Nano... And yes it's horribly ugly, what was Steve thinking??? (Someone wanna buy my NICE 3g nano for $400
Same here, it's worth too much to sell if that's the new 4g nano.
There's still people who hate the chubby out there but I think it's fantatic, it just needs a touch screen :/
Let me say that this and the recent pictures weren't intentionally fake but rather not Apple products. There are lots of knock off out there and this rounded iPod nano might just be an imitation, the rounded shape might be necessary to avoid getting sued by Apple for being too similar to their products.
The pictures here don't really show anything. I guess it's just a 2G nano case and someone messed with the cardboard of the package.
I'd love to see the 2G nano shape come back, maybe with rounded edges, because those sharp edges on my black 2G nano were worn off within a few weeks.

Fatboy nanos are cute. Thought that from the minute pictures are leaked. Original skinny with shiny black and white were cute, later rounded skinnies weren't all that appealing to me.
The leaked photos or concepts of this rounded screen crap....LOOKS TERRIBLE. I really can't believe Apple would find that beautiful.

I think the current Nano design is perfect. This one just doesn't seem very..."Nano." It looks like something that goes in between a Nano and a Classic. I'm sure it will end up looking great and selling a million units, but sometimes I wish Apple would stop changing things simply for the sake of change. Cinema Displays haven't been updated in years, and iPods are updated annually like clockwork for no reason other than to make everyone want to buy a new one. Apple is one of the worse offenders when it comes to
"perceived obsolescence."
"perceived obsolescence."
I suspect he wouldn't have to go too far to find him.
Edit: If it were the case. I don't for a second think that the 30 pin connector is going anywhere.
Maybe someone has mentioned this already...in one picture, we see the top of the box, indicating it is for an "iPod Nano 4G", in the other picture we see this case out of the package...are we sure this case goes with the box in the first picture?
This isn't the Nano, it's gonna be a "Touch Nano"... ...at least I hope it is.

ahh.. sounds like you haven't ran with nike+ yet. definitely worth trying out on a 3G nano. bulky? the thing is like a postage stamp!
Fake? No.
The pictures of the case were taken at the IFA consumer electronics trade show in Berlin, which opened on the 29th.
Hama is a German manufacturer of CE accessories and they've let the cat out of the bag by including their case for the new Nano in their booth display. Intentional or not, information about future developments do come out of trade shows.
It's not the first time an entity that should reside behind the wall of NDA has come out on the other side.
