Cases for New iPod Nano?

[Caitlyn]

As long as it's scratch resistant and thin, I'm sure I'll like it. A screen similar to that of the new iMac would be cool with the black, glass trim around it.

even if they release that, they are still going to release a touch iPod.

That is what my MBP's battery did.

Why do people still think that because some third-party that no one has ever heard of before went out on a limb and made a case for a well-publicized iPod mockup, this is what the iPod will look like? As far as we know, Apple has NEVER released the specs of any upcoming iPod (iPhone excluded due to FCC exposure) to any third-party manufacturer. Especially not some tiny little operation. They clearly wanted to make a name for themselves by announcing cases for the upcoming iPod, and so they took a chance that the mockups and screenshots floating around the net are what the next iPod will look like. If they are right, then they are the FIRST manufacturer with cases available (in what has to be a hypercompetitive business with thin margins), and if they are wrong, then they scrap the few samples they had made up (assuming that they made any to begin with and didn't just photoshop some samples), and go make cases for the real iPod when it's announced and they get the specs like everyone else.

Does anyone really expect Apple (of the iron-clad NDA and rabid legal team) to give out the specs for their hottest product to some rinky-dink case manufacturer?

Person of African lineage, I beseech thee.

there are always cases out with new ipods. They do get information

what if it's not replacing the ipod nano but the ipod video? the line-up could be:

shuffle - 2 GB
nano - 16 GB
new ipod video - 32 GB
ipod touch - 120 GB (iphone size - thus harddrive)

sidenote: I had a video iPod - but never used it (2.5") is simply not enough. and there is no reason that apple needs to have video on all ipods!?

wow you took the words right out of my mouth. except I think the storage sizes will be different.

keep dreaming. Apple never lives up to the wildest guesses of new products and yours is just that

why does everyone assume the phatpod is going to be the new nano? It's just the ipod shrunk a little. ipod touch would eat into the iphone market too much to release it now, maybe sometime next year when the iphone 2.0 is out.

so this was released

maybe the leaked iphone will be too
