iPod Another iPod nano 4G case released

[Manatee]

I've ODed on iPods.

I wish I didn't already have eight iPods. I might get more excited about a new one.

its a fake, bad one at that

i think you'll find that it's one of those metallic/mirror cases, and the screen will shine through that dark coating.

ITs fake, there is a shadow on the left side of the iphone and there is none on the left side of the "new case" its pretty odd that a low quality fake has made it this far. Well whatever the iPod updates are I am sure that they will be fine. I really don't see the big deal with all of this. Its not a huge leap in anything really, other than changing the design a little. Maybe you will get a little more storage maybe one or two new features but nothing really life changing. Its gadget in the end, it will just be replaced in a year or two by something else.

curved screen . . . don't like it, won't get it.

i'm sure they'll unload tons of them on next year's back to school promotion, though . . .

What I don't get is why you'd want a case w/ access to the wheel but has blocked off the screen.
Odd...

the screen isnt blocked off ,the material over the screen is clear, your seeing what's behind it,

A 2nd level Tech Support person at Apple told me this evening that the new iPods just coming out soon won't have the 2.0 OS on them, you'll still need to upgrade to it ($9.95) after buying the iPod. My call was about problems with my iPod Touch but when she said it she said "iPods". Could have been a generalization or it could mean the 2.0 OS is going to be used on the other iPods as well.

Hmm I'm concerned about these images. Putting that together with the mini-usb port on the last iPod nano rumors...

I am intending to buy a nano for my girlfriend's birthday in the last half of September. I'd also like to buy her a Nike sports kit with it. If they go making the nano not use a dock connector, then the sports kit won't work with it!

A part of me is saying - take no risk, buy it all now. Another part is saying, "Apple wouldn't ditch the dock connector, it's ludicrous.", wait till next Tuesday.

The one point in favour of the "ditching the dock connector" - is Nike's recent Race the World campaign. The entire race seemed targetted at selling more nike gear, in particular nike ipod sports kits. Would Nike go to this much trouble to lower their inventories in light of an impending lack of support?

I'm very suprised that unlike last year, we've haven't seen any sites remove new nano images due to requests from Apple's legal team.

The thing is, most of these images come from speculation of some sort and as far as most of us can tell, they are not official. I don't believe that Apple Legal would have any standing on this case, because this case may have been made off of the rumors, and it is not any product made by Apple.

Builds more hype. Apple is probably not minding the leaks, unlike before. Remember that the AppleTV and iPhone were announced and shown long before they were actually available.

Exactly. Before the current Nano, the Mini looked just like this (but with a smaller screen). When the fatter ratio was rumored, everyone said it looked horrible.

People are fickle.

I'm not fickle, I still think the fat nano looks fugly. One thing I haven't seen ventured is that the curved screen may have some type of magnifying effect on the small image - might be just what you need if you want to watch a film on something that small.

They'd need to get it right of course, otherwise people'd get headaches and eye strain. Mind you, if anyone can get it right, it'd be Apple. Say what you like about the software, the industrial design is still solid. (Fat Nan still looks like one, mind! )

Also, new colour patterns that feature smooth gradients from cool colours to warm colours like a rainbow when you put the whole nano range side by side.

I'm a prophet.
