Well yeah, of course we love to read and discuss rumors here. I just strongly suspect the recent purported images of the new iPod nano have been fake and misleading. I don't like the fact they have evoked negative reactions as many people think they are real.
I still think 9to5mac is full of BS.
I know where you're coming from, and they could very well be - guess we'll know in a few weeks...
hmm didn't know about Giz. That almost convinces me too, but I still don't know about 9to5mac -- I guess we'll find out soon enough though
What about some kind of YouTube ONLY integration??
Wi-fi enabled but they limit it to only something like youtube which is still only for media files........
possible?
Haha, I'm going to bookmark this 9to5mac site. I love how they're always so sure about their case, and be pretty arrogant about it.. in a funny way They sure as hell would make good lawyers

If the new iPod has WiFi/Internet(Which it won't) I'll be skiping school and walk a mile to the city to buy one of em..
The more I think about the more I say yah Apple would totally do that... and it would actually rock
Think we'll be able to "squirt" songs to one another?
Incidentally, I was in the States a few weekends ago and shopped at Wal-Mart and Radio Shack. Both had Zunes and accessories. Both were on clearance blow-out prices. I take it the Zune ain't selling so hot?

Although the "idea" for the "squirting" (LOL) is great, I dunno if apple would do that or not because it's so obviously a Zune copy... could happen too tho
I know I'd likely never use that feature tho
All of our music, video's, movies and pictures. If it's the physical thickness of the 80 gig ipod is today that's ok. just make the storage space big!
That's my dream. The only thing I would change is that on the full size iPods I doubt the 2 models would be 30 and 100 GB. I think the smart money is probably on 60 and 120. But you could be right.
I also really like the idea of reintroducing the Mini as a larger capacity and movie-playing Nano.
Overall a very good and plausible line up except for a few minor details. The iPod Mini is a great product. Perfect bridge between the iPod touch and the Nano.
I hope that the iPod touch can play Divx and Xvid files just like Creative M Vision which can play 800MB divix files without any necessary conversion. That is very handy and great for us with lots of downloaded movies on our computers.
That's why many have flash pods and why they sell more. But there are many like myself who use an iPod not for walking, running, commuting but as a jukebox in their studio, office, house, workspace and hotel room. I take mine to my studio and it is hooked into a stereo . It is full with about 20,000 songs and I have almost 30,000 on my Macs backup hard drive so I would love more space and don't have to worry about it banging around.
That looks kinda sick. I would prefer all black over the current light behind of the iPhone
Won't happen. You'd have to convert them to mp4 or m4a or whatever format the current iPod Video, Apple TV, and iPhone use.
I was just being a pit optimistic I know that Apple love control and wants to make the quick time format bigger than what it is today.
Why Apple Might Use the iPhone Form Factor in the new iPod
Assuming that the form factor is the same as the iPhone, might Apple be leveraging the case and LCD of the iPhone in the "iPod Touch"?
That would offer a few benefits:
Apple may not wish to release a 16GB or 32GB iPod Touch because that would put it over the iPhone (Apple already has large capacity HDD iPods, so that wouldn't be an issue).
As an iPhone owner, I'd buy an iPod that was identical in look and feel to my iPhone because I'd like to carry more stuff.

That would offer a few benefits:
- Keeps cost lower since you use the same case and screen - just the electronics are different.
- Allows folks making 480x320 content for the iPhone to run the same content unmodified on the iPod Touch.
- Encourages iPhone users to buy the iPod Touch because it looks and works like their iPhones.
- Encourages iPod Touch users to buy iPhones (down the road) because it looks and works like their iPod Touches.

or just wants to use a file format that compresses better and is better supported...divx/xvid is old technology. just because that's what you use to download movies doesn't make it a good format.
