New iPod Pics and Rumors

[xxMATTGxx]

That beast is UGLY!

Does someone want to inform me as to why WallMart thinks I need a new MP3 player for school? On their sign it's like, "get all your back to school accessories here! Notebooks, Binders, Flash drives and MP3 players":rolleyes:

Because nearly every person in a school either has an iPod or mP3 Player? Hehe, I don't know which store in the UK but they have designed a blazer with iPod controls on one of the sides LOL.

Everyone has MP3 Players nowadays, even my 50 something year old parents.

I don't have an MP3 player...when I listen to music on the go I use my trusty netbook !

Just an update on the source with his Kevin Rose;

Rose's record:

Right
- 3G iPhone with GPS
- 15" Intel MacBook, iPod FM receiver, iWork/iLife, New Remote etc..
- iPod Nano

Partly Right
- $200 iPhone pricing (but called it "low end")

Wrong
- Front sided camera of iPhone
- Dual battery, iPhone rumors

Very interesting Matt, from what I can gather using that, smaller features he usually gets wrong as these are probably considered but never actually got made, but the major things which are floated around tend to be right as those things wouldn't usually be changed

So he's probably right about the new iPod in that case as it would be a major product.

Then why don't you change that by getting one?!

I hear WalMart are running a fantastic "back-to-school" offer where you could grab an iPod for perhaps a discounted price!

LOL.

Pull out my trusty iPod Touch or a netbook? hmmm, hard one

More evidence is appearing that supports the rumored taller iPod Nano design with a curved screen. Case designs (seen above) at Alibaba (via Engadget) depict new cases for an iPod Nano 4G. The 4th generation iPod Nano has been rumored to have a taller design with widescreen to allow for video playback. The rumor was first reported in July, with additional claims a few days ago from Kevin Rose.

Meanwhile, iDealsChina has posted renderings of the 4th Generation iPod which also match the rumored description:
iDealsChina was previously responsible for leaked iPhone 3G case moldings that turned out to be accurate. These renderings, however, omit the iPod's universal dock connector.

Separately, and perhaps more interestingly, iDealsChina claims that the next generation iPod Touch will contain GPS. The iPod Touch is expected to see a revision in the next few weeks.

I'm still not sure. If they were real, Apple would have got them taken down by now.

that's not going to see the light of day. it's way too ugly for apple to release, style is probably their biggest selling point and that thing is really awkward looking.

That wasn't the case for iPhone 3G cases. I'm not too sure on this but Apple may be still releasing a new iPod Nano that will look completely different to it.
