September soon - is this the new iPod nano ?

Posted by utzy

I have a theory that Apple feeds these pre- release frenzies and puts a blurred photo out on the waves of the internet to turn up the heat on rumours. But with the new buying season round the corner and trumpets at the ready for Christmas O8 Apple will be expected as marekt leader to roll out their new iPods soon. For a while now pundits have been talking up a return to the old format of the 2G slim nano (citing coin pocket fits on jeans). Not sure what they meant for the video mode - horizontal viewing ??

But my biggest question for this image is why the CURVED SCREEN ?

IPOD NANO 3G

Thanks to the KevinRoseblog for the image.

If indeed this picture has any connection with reality, it appears that the screen, itself, is not curved, only the clear cover over the screen. If you look closely at the shadow cast by the edge of the case bordering the screen next to the click wheel, it appears that the screen is flat.

But, to me, this picture looks like it was generated by a 3D modeling program. So, all bets are off.
