The Beat Goes On: Nano, Touch, Beatles, Wireless?

Looking at the other forums, this looks to be the best picture of the "New iPods/ iPod Nanos. It is far from what we want, but it looks the most like the picture taken down by Apple Legal. In my opinion.

thats not that bad.....for the new nano....but i hope thats not the new "iPod touch"
 
I think that's a great mockup (DmitriF's posted image) of what a flash-based 5.5G succesor could look like. I like the new iMac look to it, it would be a fine rev. of the 5.5G IMO. Hopefully it also has a hard glass screen (and probably a black Apple logo on the back as well.)

Now to the iPod Touch... ;)

Whatever you want to say about Don Bagles, he's been entertaining to have on this thread. We'll all know in 2 days anyways. Hopefully some more info will dribble out soon on the rumor sites. OTOH, you know you'd be disappointed if you watched the media event already knowing 100% what was going to be introduced, right down to what the '1 more thing' is.

I agree, it's like Christmas, if you look at the presents before, it takes all of the fun out of it.
 
I have an interesting tidbit. A friend of mine works for Woot.com, and they had recieved a huge truckload of Zunes that they are going to sell on their site for $199. Radio Shack was going to buy a bunch from them but backed out at the last minute saying that Apple was going to drop the 30gb iPod to $199 on Weds.

Hmmm, that is interesting. Let's just see then!

I was most surprised to see that he does actually step outside every now and again.

Do people seriously believe this blithering fanboy has "contacts"? I'm hoping for a huge dosage of Awesome with this new iPod as much as anyone else, but I almost hope find myself hoping it's mediocre just to prove Mr Know-it-all (or rather, Mr Pretend-to-know-it-all) wrong!

We'll know by Wednesday. Personally I'm still thinking it'll either be disappointing but at a decent price, or everything people have been wishing for but more expensive than any iPod has been before. I'm sortof leaning towards the latter, with the existing iPod range being downsized to the "fatpod". Yes it's ugly at the moment, but tastes change and people will get used to it (I'm thinking of the first flat-panel iMac here... everyone complained it looked like a screen on a stick shoved into a boob. But it was successful)

It does lean towards the latter. It's a similar situation to the original iPod Photo.

Well, then you can't say anything more. So why are you still here? People will harass you for a long time. Plus, why didn't you tell us of this contact until just yesterday?

Plus you have revealed more then Apple would ever say, so you have probably broken some sort of rule already.

Because I didn't know anything until yesterday! He's just a friend of mine, and I had no idea he was planning on letting me in on the new iPod.

Different models will be different prices. The more expensive, the better the model. The pricing of the whole new line up will resemble the pricing of Apple's lineup when the iPod Photo first came out.

Can you refresh my memory, how much did the iPod Photos cost when they first came out?

Because the thread was there, and the rumor had already been published over a year ago. Am I not allowed to say something like that in a thread directly related to the screen size of the iPod?

Kinda does contradict.
