As far as I know the event at the moment has not happened yet. At the moment all we know is the rumours. If at the end of the event we don't know any more than we know now fair enough to complain. But complaining before the event has even happened seems a little premature.
*sigh* After getting my iPhone I just don't care about iPods anymore..All I want is new ACD's and Mac Pros with blu-ray! Who cares about the classic. Get rid of it and replace it with iPod touch with hard drive.
I would snatch one of those in an instant. It would be big, but think of the possibilities
New ipod Nano interface posted on Gizmoto???
If this picture is true then the video playback size is no bigger than my fatty.
I hope you can flip it to the side and the video expands.
If by "ignoring" you meant "while it's useful and good to know, I'm not sure what makes it so ground breaking and revolutionary that I'm supposed to get excited" then yes, I suppose you could say I'm ignoring that.
Title of post is misleading, it implies coloured iPod Touches as well, but then the body text dashes those hopes.
And that's what I really wanted :'(
They can make the iPhone white or black, so give us some Touch colours to differentiate. (Really I just want a lime green Touch without giving Colorware my firstborn.)

I've actually wanted and love the current shuffle model for some time but still can't warrant $50 for it. If they drop price to 25-30 range it might be worth it.
Not sure what they can do to redesign it that could be much better then what it currently offers besides a mini screen. You don't need menus, but a single line black and white song title would be neat.
I want the old shuffle back (1G)
I loved that model so much. If they're going back to tall and slim with the nano why not with the shuffle.
Wouldn't it be cool if they re-released the old model but with a display on it.
Of course they do this!
Apple was never fooling me, or any of my friends in college who bought their products. This is a well known practice of theirs, if you pay any attention to their release schedules.
What else would you really expect them to do? If you have a business where you're about to get stuck with lots of costly "old stock" inventory at all your retail outlets, as well as in warehouses, wouldn't you want to do everything possible to sell it off before the new product is released?
Truthfully, the vast majority of students I know aren't *so* into their computers that they really care if they've got the "very latest, just announced" model, or last year's version of it. They're just buying because it's "back to school" time and they can either get parents or relatives to help foot the bill at that moment, or they found a way to pay for it with student loan money they just received. It's plenty "good enough" for their needs to have a model one-removed from the very latest revision, and something like a free iPod sweetens the deal.

New Zealand Apple Store is down...
Shinny new iPods arriving shortly. But from now(2:15am) till 5:30am NZ Time when the Keynote will end, thats almost 3 hours!
Does Apple usually bring down the store that early elsewhere as well? Or NZ is gonna be the first to see the day light again
Whoever frankensteined this image in Photoshop made the graphics a tad too small. On my 15'4" screen w/ 1680/1050 the image is pretty close to scale 1:1 (I held up a 1st Gen Nano next to it and it was the same width), and the text is microscopic. I have 20/20 vision and I have no problem with high resolution, but the text at the bottom (ColdPlay/Viva La Vida/Viva La Vida) is just ridiculous... it's smaller than the fine print on the back of iPods and iPhones.
Yes, of course it flips, that's the whole point. Apple apparently wants to go back to the narrow form factor of the 1st and 2nd Gen Nano, and the only way to do that while keeping the display reasonably large is to make a display that switches to landscape mode when you flip the Nano to the side.chaosconan said:

That would make sense to me. Less to manufacture and a subtle move away from old tech.
Let's hope they've held back some surprise here. Disappointing. I've been waiting to get in on a Touch, but can't see doing so until they offer some decent capacity. I was really hoping we'd see a 64g Touch today.
No matter what else they do to it, I'm going to worry that a higher capacity model is less than a year away. Looks like I continue to wait.
