- ers35, on 10/10/2007, -7/+201Why did they place a black nano on a black background?
- Korexz, on 10/10/2007, -8/+82Gotta look at the "requirements" of design :
16:9 screen ratio - Check
Jeans friendly size - Check
Fits in universal dock - Check
From a design standpoint the 2nd gen nano was too thin and too tall. It's pretty easy to snap one in half when sitting on it.
Much like the Creative Zen V Plus, this design is more "proportional" and less likely to suffer a crushing fate. - kenvsryu, on 10/10/2007, -3/+61Black is the new black.
- MrBabyMan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+44Here's the art Giz was asked to take down, which they got from 9 to 5 Mac

(p.s. someone re-host it quick, before Apple decides to C&D this one!) - Kikkomann, on 10/10/2007, -2/+45That's what they call "sales strategy" - so people will have to endlessly buy iPod Accessories.
Capitalism... geez. - kayakin3d, on 10/10/2007, -3/+45I wouldn't want a wider Nano. The nice thing about the Nano now is that it's so small and thin. Making it wider and still as thin would be dumb. Nano buyer want something they can stick in their pocket that they won't notice is in there all the time - like those damn cell phones.
- castleking, on 10/10/2007, -3/+32Anyone have these "spy shots" they speak of?
- unfinite, on 10/10/2007, -5/+33black on black looks fine if you do it right.
so I had to do it right: http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s6/unfinite/ipodnanomockup.png - nelsonuwp, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26Because they already have an iPod like that... only it makes phone calls
- masterc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25I like how they say "UPDATED again: They Are Real." Apple doesn't want people getting the wrong idea about their products, so they ask people to take down the ***** mockups.
I really don't see how this is Apple made- it's so different than the current nano. Apple wouldn't design such a different looking device. Plus it just looks like crap! - speaker219, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23In case anybody didn't see the spy shots, here:

(whole bunch in case they get taken down -- BTW: imageshack sucks) - kingvik, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21that is not a 16:9 screen ratio
- DaffyDuck, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21"It's pretty easy to snap one in half when sitting on it."-
Hmm, I find it pretty easy to not sit on it in the first place. - sjbdallas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17oh crap, i just realized: is this how they're going to give the full ipod a bigger screen instead of the iphone-like touchscreen?
- socialbear, on 10/10/2007, -5/+21I too wasn't a nano fan. Ended up getting the sprint Muziq phone when my ipod broke. The usability and quality of the software doesn't compare at all. I may find myself back with an ipod again soon
- sjbdallas, on 10/10/2007, -6/+20I kind of like it but what i don't understand is why Apple keeps changing the general shape to the point where many accessories won't work. That obviously won't fit in some of the different straps and arm/belt clips that are out there for the existing nano.
- KriLL3.2™, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14I really don't understand this move, if you want a small mp3 player you can strap to your forearm or put in a pocket without it being noticable you got a nano.
If you wanted a big clunker to play video on an have most of your music collection on you got an iPod.
And if you wanted something really cheap you got the shuffle.
Seems the old space the nano vacated will be empty now, this isn't a new nano, it's a mini iPod. Making it a lot wider and giving it a larger screen might have been nice if you actually wanted it to play video, but why stop at a nano if you want a full featured video player? Get the iPod.
The screen isn't large enough to be good with video, and the device itself has poor dimensions (almost square), it feels like a compromise between the nano and the full iPod, thus removing all that was good in both formats: the big screen and big storage of the iPod, and the small footprint of the nano.
Did I mention it's f.ugly? - yensed, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13***Comment Deleted***
Ok, Not really. Because there is no darn Delete Button! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Looks like the Nano's fat chubby cousin!
- Kkemepobo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence
- ioannusdeverani, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11My thoughts exactly. People complain about a product when they should really be complaining about their own lack of intelligence. If you spend that much on a device, you should be prepared to not be careless with it.
- rupprupp29, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12mroe like the iChode
- svartgotik, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Nice tasteful photoshop job. I know I shouldn't have to say this, but most people's ideas of "photoshop" is text with no antialiasing and lens flare effects.
- holygram, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13Why not give the screen more size and just make it touchscreen?
- bmwboy2844, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9It would be pricier
- DevinOlsen, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11Holy *****.. You've snapped a nano in half just by sitting on it? Nano's are effin strong little devices... I can't help but think you're either A)Lying or B)Severly obese..
- unknownsoldierX, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10Look up the Sandisk Sansa e208. It's a better value than the Nano. You get 8GB +micro SD expansion for $150. I love mine.
- Me1000, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8because it isnt real?
- protocol0, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7the lawyers win if noone has a mirror. where is the mirror?!? the internet always wins.
- mrminty, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I walk around with a Cowon x5. Some of us care more about decent sound quality than how our music player looks.
- davidrools, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/apples-3rd-generation-ipod-nano-revealed-in-spy-shots/
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Gag. Just give me a $#*@# iPhone without the phone + a HDD.
- allmarsh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5That's gonna be an awesome phone
- corvairkid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4No, it won't blend. This time, Steve Jobs got together with Tom Dickson and they jointly developed an iPod Nano that will not blend. Like the Tick, this new iPod Nano is nigh indestructible.
So there. - lcstein, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6why do you ask stupid questions?
- ldkronos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4You can't seem to figure out why apple would redesign it so that you had to repurchase accessories again? Gee, I wonder what motives they might have? Thats a tough one!
- Burn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4If it looks anything like that, I'm getting one.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3no one else spotted that!
- rebuilder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Is it wider or just not as tall?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3or you could just not buy a new nano.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5It actually looks pretty good in this shot.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5That doesn't mean anything. It's possible Apple are freaking out about the possibility of people seeing this new design and putting off their purchase of a current nano.
- EntangledPhysx, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6I've got the SanDisk Sansa 280R from BestBuy for $160. 8 GB with a micro SD expansion upto 2 GB. It also has a radio (a must have for me), and does videos (quite nicely, I must say) as well as pictures, voice recordering (has its own dedicated button, very convenient). Big ass color screen, at like 20 hours runtime. I love mine as well!
- mrminty, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Don't promote your ***** website. Thanks.
- EricPeters, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It looks like one of those Creative players. Can't remember the name at the moment.
- DonCarcharo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I'm pretty sure it's just not as tall. Check out this mockup I slapped together. It just looks like they chopped the nano in half.

- unfinite, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3proper mock up by me: http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s6/unfinite/ipodnanomockup.png
- MauiMac, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2its the same width but shorter in height...
- schavira, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5ACROSS THE UNIVERSE IS NOT ON LOVE.
