I think you've got the right idea. For a screen that small, poke and swipe would be about the only control options. You also need a way to get to playlists/genres/artists/albums etc. I think swipe up/down makes sense. Swipe vertically then choose a category by swiping left and right. Swipe up again for settings.
Do we suppose this new nano is iOS based? What if that itty bitty screen was high resolution? 320x320 would be about 270 dpi at 3cm, very impressive. Open it up to the app store and you could have a whole series of games that could be reasonably fun.

I think it will run iOS-but not one even close to what were use to. And apples good about keeping things simple, and I think this is going to be very simplified in every way. It will be more like a 3rd gen shuffle with touch controls and a screen.
so if this is the new shuffle were are the rumors on the new ipod nano
-were only gonna c 2 ipods tomorrow-this event will be marked as the Death of the click Wheel
Maybe press & hold to bring up a new screen that allows you to choose songs/albums/playlists etc.?
I personally hate thing thing... if it turns out to be the new nano I'll head right out and pick up a 5th gen while I can.
I think the shuffle should be dropped once this comes out. But I saw in a report today that such is not the plan.
Dude. Two Words. Awesome mockup. It looks really awesome, I just don't think Apple will down size the nano to that small w/o a camera and a smaller screen. Possibly for a shuffle.
i like how the long nanos fit/feel on the hand but those are some nice mock-ups
cant wait to see what the actual product will look like tomm

Great mockup. Would LOVE this to happen IF it replaced the Shuffle or made a whole new iPod OR was an iWatch
The nano won't get replaced with this IMHO. Taking so many features out for so little back? No.

The 59/79 dollar price point would be obliterated if this is a shuffle.
The nano would look absolutely stupid with those volume buttons on top.

That is a good mockup!
I hope it looks like that tomorrow. 2G Shuffle was an excellent design with the clip and placement of inputs. I'm not sure it will be that slim, though: close, but a little thicker. With the battery in there, they won't have much of any function going on in that tiny thing. Maybe 4GB or 8GB, MAYBE video, but nothing much more. Expect battery span of 8 hours.
