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

aluminum is the new thing right now with apple...and glass...so they wont ditch aluminum
 
The nanos are getting from bad to worse.

The first gen nanos are by far the coolest. They still look the best. The size, shape, finish, white/black color, everything.
 
I really hope that's not it becuase i think all it needs is a taller screen maybe 1.7" but i like the design now not that. It looks like a short stuby kid.

Some would disagree.

Personally, I really liked the Mini and was thrilled when Apple released the new Nanos that looked like a shrunken Mini.

I agree with you, but they scratched up worse than the full size iPod. I love the current ones and this poor mockup smells like something a horse would leave on the ground in a tightly coiled mound.

I can't stand inexperienced, amateur mockup artists and their attempt at making something that people would cling to.
 
iPod Nano Photos?



9to5Mac posted what is purported to be photos of the upcomind iPod Nano. The images depict what has been described by the site previously. Shorter iPods in a number of colors.

ThinkSecret also believed that an upcoming iPod revision would see "shorter" iPods, but 9to5mac has been persistent that these represent iPod Nanos.

Fat is the new slender.. apparently.

This is not going to look as good strapped to my arm when I'm running as the lengthy, skinny one.
 
If this is really the design, then the Apple designers have lost their "touch". The glossy iMacs and now this. I guess I better get my Apple Cinema display soon before they decide to "improve" those.
 
It's so hard to tell if those are real or not. They look "real" enough; the colours are spot on, and they fit all the descriptions, but the blurriness, and the fact that they are pretty darn ugly doesn't help.
 
if those images are real, maybe their the new flash based iPods... Just throwing it out there :p
 
Anyone else notice it's open in Photoshop? That picture quality is horrible and the iPods looks just as horrible. If this is the new design then I think a number of people will be skipping this generation.
 
Well they fit the rumors anyway--it's believable even if a mockup (look at the bevel). I hope pure Red remains an option.

"Different" and "unfamiliar" is of course "bad" and "ugly." People hated the look of the current video iPods because of the new screen size making the proportions "wrong" :p

Nonetheless, once that unsettling shock passes, if these are similar in volume/size to the old ones (wider yet shorter and still slim and tiny--no reason to think they are gigantic at all) and have a bigger screen, that sounds great to me.

If, in addition, they have higher capacity per dollar, video playback, and a new interface, even better. The iPod wheel can live on in the nano where a touchscreen would not be usable.

I'd be happy with these.

(EDIT: never mind!)
 
I thought the whole point of the nano was that it was tiny? Hopefully it's fake, they are looking at a .psd file
