More Details on Next iPod Touch and Nano


Previously leaked touch screen part

iLounge provides some more details about the upcoming iPod Touch and iPod Nano revisions coming from Apple next week. According to the site, the iPod Touch will contain a back-side camera, microphone and a new shape to the back.

Think of the top of a MacBook Pro, only smaller, which is to say flat rather than curved at the centercloser to the look of the first-generation iPod touchs back, only with modifications.

In addition, iLounge is also hearing that the small touchscreen device that we've been seeing hints of will be thought of as an iPod Nano rather than a Shuffle -- though iLounge admits "it doesn't make much sense" to them at this point.

Apple will be hosting a media event at 10 am Pacific time on September 1st.

Going of the picture above, if that is a Nano, then tbh I don't think I like it?

Maybe on release it might look better, but going of that I don't at all :(

We shall see soon!

Can't wait to see this new touch, I was hoping they may replace the chrome with some aluminium, perhaps with colour choices.

Seems like Apple wants to replace the shuffle & nano with this new "postage stamp" touchscreen nano. Basically merge the two devices. I am curious how the controls will be though. Clearly they would place some emphasis on using the headphones as the remote to control playback like on the shuffle. Probably even include the voice command stuff.

The touchscreen could still be used to do basic stuff like pick album/artist/track and scrub through the currently playing track. Does not seem like the touchscreen would do anything more advanced like an iPod touch or something.

To me the square-shaped touch-nano makes sense, I think it's real.

Whatever the outcome will be. I don't care. Some people are going to like it and the others... will keep complaining anyway. Like this is ever going to change. Not.

My buttocks will remain firmly clenched until El Jobbo hits the stage.

Now that sounds great - no curved back + cam. Bought.

"postage stamp" touchscreen nano


I think it's going to be slightly bigger than some people are interpreting that screen to be. It'll have to be big enough to comfortably watch video.

It's interesting. If it has bluetooth and/or wifi it'd be a perfect size to act as a remote for Apple TV, as other rumours have suggested.

I wonder if we'll be able to target it with the iOS SDK? I can think of a few uses for a small programmable device like that, for controlling interactive displays and so on.

The new iPod Touch is going to tempting, even though I'd really like to get an iPad when they start selling it here. (and I really don't see a reason to get them both)
