Different countries have different carriers for the iPhone.
My idea of a Nano Touch would be 8mm thick, 3.25" tall, 2" wide, and have a 2" x 1.5" screen @ 360 x 240.
Same UI as Touch.
Wifi, but no Safari. Apps needing web access still work.
Accelerometer.
Touch apps run, except at lower resolution.
Includes special stylus, stores in edge of device.
8gb and 16gb models.
Your choice of 6 case back colors.
Same prices as current models.

I agree on everything except 2 things:
No Safari: Why not? Our iPod Touches have them and would be capable of running in the nano touch, only around Wifi areas (like the touch) PLUS people would make a big stink to apple about it. AND if it is targeted to the 13-20's crowd we don't mind a small screen, Our eyes can adjust
Stylus: maybe because of how small the screen will be but but remember when Apple made a big stink about a stylus with the first iPhone not having one? Jobs hates extra buttons and things attached to Apple devices.
No Safari due to lower resolution and to differentiate from the Touch. Stylus because I've got a player the size I suggested and it came with one that is very handy for hitting small icons.
I like the concept, qacjared. Reminds me of the very cheap little keychain photo frames most places sell these days. You'll need a home button and possibly a microscope (to read the songs list), but sell it for $49 and everyone will want one!
Those cheap photo frames don't do music. 
I'll go with the multi touch shuffle. Something to get my kid (when I have one) it's a nice little gimmick
Kids may get upset when they can't get their songs to play when they want to. Shuffle after all.
My Wife lost interest in her Nano the second She opened the Touch I got her. If it had the apps and games the Touch had there would have been no point.

Well, there were a few things right in my dream.
Accelerometer on the Nano.
No touchscreen, but with the accelerometer I see the potential for the new Nano to play some of the Touch/iPhone games.
Yes, wifi would have been more fun, but the new Nano is in my opinion now much more interesting than the old one, and by a larger degree than the new Touch is over the old Touch.

Damned right. I believe Apple was so inspired by his idea after reading his post that they "adopted it" for themselves, unless of course he works for Apple.
