iPod Nano Case Leaks, iPod Touch to Have GPS?

Looks a bit like the 2G iPod nano
That's awesome, especially when many of us weren't expecting GPS as it would "make it too close to the iPhone."
I hope the default is GPS for lower prices (ex. $299 for 16 GB) and an option for no GPS for less. That would fit in with Kevin Rose's predictions of large iPod price drops.
+10,000
Unless my eyes are deceiving me, the screen portion does not appear to be curved. This is evident especially in the green 3D rendering. The top edge looks flat, with highly eliptical curves on the sides. And think about it, a curved front would mean that the click would have to be curved as well (Apple wouldn't make a curved screen with a flat interface, the design would be un-aesthetic. They would be flush with each other).
Also, why are there sooooo many of you that clamor for GPS in the Touch? Are you all idiots who can't figure out where you're going? I can see it now, people walking aimlessly around in public staring at their Touch screens... almost as annoying as those who text on their cellphones while walking/driving and don't pay attention where they're going.

OK, so lets say that I buy that this is the new nano design. I don't mind the overall look of it except the curved screen (it would have some horrible glare I think) and also turning the ipod to watch videos (just seems awkward with the click wheel being static).
If they are planning on getting rid of the dock connector and changing it to a mini usb, I would be very disappointed because that would mean that Nike+ would no longer work with the nano unless them come out with a new attachment.
Oh well, if all of this is true maybe I'll just pick up a really cheap refurb fatty nano around xmas time

do you know where this came from?, i hope it's not a mockup
So we want GPS on the Touch. What does that have to do with the idiots walking around in public?
While I dislike those people as much as you, I don't see what it has to do with GPS.And have you ever been lost in the middle of a huge city, or worse, in the middle of the wilderness?
GPS is incredibly useful. Apparently you've never needed it, but I have. And I don't want to have to carry around both a GPS receiver and a Touch.
well, it would come in handy for me seeing as i live in chicago, and no matter how long i've lived here, there parts of the city that are unfamiliar to me. so yes, with my luck, im likely to get lost
i'd think since apple has a partnership with them, that apple would inform Nike ahead of time before the realease, so they have time to change their product
well this LOOKS like a mockup but it's one of apples offical pics, this could be one also
Not sure I'm keen about the idea of these being real... especially if the screen has anywhere near the form reported by the Digg liar... I mean founder. Coming from Apple, though, if they do release it in a similar form, I guess I better see it in person before I jump to knee-jerk reactions.
If you look on the bottom of the iPod in this video, it has the regular old 30-pin connector... but the case has a mini-usb port...
If this is anywhere near accurate, it seems that Apple is trying to make the iPod nano smaller while retaining the 2.0" display size.
geez, he's been right in the past ya kno, if you dont belive him you dont have to be mean,if fact, nobody REALLY knows the truth, so he COULD be right
this is complete b.s.
you dont know the scale of these pictures, how can you POSSIBLY measure them, let alone compare their sizes acurately
Does this mean downloadable maps?
If the Touch is to receive GPS, then there has to be a forthcoming downloadable maps option. Unless you're within range of a Wi-Fi hotspot, how is the touch suppose to reference a map (i.e. car)? I'm hoping this downloadable map option is made available to the iPhone. It's a true battery killer having the iPhone download a map every few seconds while using GPS. If the maps were pre-loaded, then the iPhone would only use the GPS feature to keep track (hence improving battery life).

the last nano in this the pic look
it wont be an Apple's product Agreed...the Touch seem not going to have GPS built-in while Apple stick with google map

Chances are if you're lost in the wilderness, you probably wouldn't have reception anyway to connect with Google Maps... but that's given you have access to AT&T's network, and we're talking about the Touch. Good luck with WiFi.
I guess my point is, imo, GPS isn't the end-all-to-be-all. That's just my feeling.
