Photo of the 4th Generation iPod Nano?

Alibaba, a B2B marketplace, has a photo (via Zollotech) of what appears to be the 4th generation iPod Nano that is expected to be released next week.
We can't be for sure if this represents a photo of the actual device, or simply a mockup based on circulating dimensions, but it does show what appears to be a dock connector on the bottom of the device. The image also correlates with all circulating rumors about the new iPod Nano.
Apple will be holding a special event on September 9th where the new iPod Nano is expected to be released.

(View all)It's not pretty though. Not particularly ugly, just not pretty. Mind you, I do like the form factor with the whole thing having a curve.
Also, FWIW, should the title not read 'Photo of the 4th Generation iPod Nano?'
I think that is undoubtedly what we are going to get.

I think that's a good call, and I really do think they look cool even if they look like the Gen 2 iPod Nanos. :apple:
Looks like a mockup to me. The click wheel seems to be indented quite a lot and the click wheel is also out of proportion with the dock connector and headphone jack. Either that or this is going to be a large ipod nano!
Seriously, looks like a remote control. BTW I meant 2G nano, not 3. There's nothing wrong with having it look like the old nano, but then where's the innovation? It better be in the software.
surely they wouldnt use an old design!!! surely!!!

I don't see a problem with the resemblance to the older models, I don't think there is a great deal more they can do with them really. They will sell well, as iPods always do.
I do however find it interesting that they would go back to the taller form factor after having changed it to short and fat. I think tall and thin sits better in your pocket. Personally I think I prefer the current model.
