It would help if there was something to scale them and also if the picture was bigger but that is coming later.

They look a quite good.

I'm guessing the controls are the same size as now, so that gives you some idea.

they're too much like the video iPod's......they need to keep the same outer shell as the nano's now....regular people would mistake them for the video iPod's.

New from Apple, the brand new iPod Dumpy! :eek:

Hope it's not true. The current one and it's predecessor have a nice, elegant shape. Smaller is not necessarily better!

I placed an image of the existing Nano over this new design. Assuming the control wheel is the same size (big assumption), you can get an idea of the size of the new one:

After looking at the pictures, my guess is that the photo is not of the new Nano.

I don't believe that Apple is not going to dump the current Nano form factor anytime soon.

In the back of my mind, I seem to remember a similar picture some years ago concerning the so called video iPod.

Who knows...

On a side note, how reliable is the source?

Wow the screen size looks huge in comparison! They do look kind of stubby, but not as bad as I thought they would look. Does this mean that Nanos will need new docks or will they now be the same width as a full sized iPod?

So the nano retains its thinness, becomes a bit shorter and adds width. New colors, bigger screen (320x240 or 640x480?). The nano essentially replaces the 5g iPod, except for storage. Maybe iPod games will now be playable on the nano.

Yeah, that's a pretty major upgrade for the screen. Would be nice if they add video playback to the Nano. I might actually consider getting one to replace my aging 1st generation 5GB iPod.

It may just be the lighting, but sure doesn't look right.

Likewise, the shadows are not correct. Looks like a photoshop job.

Eww... yeah. Those shadows are all wrong. :eek: Especially on the black one.

On that big picture they dont look aluminum...more like plastic. Just like a regular iPods. I wonder if Apple is ready to ditch aluminum....that would be a pity. I love that design and the fact that after over a year of use I dont have any scratches on my nano Red
