Most of the time, rumors are full of stuff you can't see, or you end up hearing a lot, and seeing some computer generated images. Obviously, I am talking about Apple-related rumors here, and I must confess it's a real relief for me to find out more than just words and faked images. Unfortunately, nothing is certain, but Kevin Rose published a picture on his blog that looks like the new iPod Nano, as you can see in the image below...
...but who can really tell how will the new iPod Nano look? Not me, for sure, but I must confess that, if the image above proves to be the real deal, the iPod Nano will surely get one extra star rating for its design. Hopefully they'll also come up with a black model, but that's not the problem for now. After all, they still have enough time to paint it black until mid-September, when I think the whole whirlwind of Apple updates will start spinning around.
While a lot of people try to solve their iPhone 3G problems, others simply enjoy their gadgets and claim that most of this is more of a user issue, than something wrong with the Apple smartphone or the service of the carrier. On the other side, most iPod users are happy with their players, as long as they don't blow up in smoke! To be honest, I never saw any blown iPod up close&personal, but I guess I still have time for that; what I don't like with the current iPod line is the design, with the exception of the iPod Touch, of course.
Now, if you're in a hurry and you don't want to visit Kevin Rose's blog page talking about the new iPods and other rumors, here's what you should keep in mind:
- Revamp of entire iPod line.
- Small cosmetic changes to Touch, Nano to see significant redesign (see pic below).
- iPods to see fairly large price drops to distance itself from the $199 iPhone.
- iPod touch 2.1 software, iPhone to get update very soon after.
- iTunes 8.0 ("it's a big update w/new features").
- All of this coming in the next 2-3 weeks.
That's what the man says, and I hardly wait to see them coming true. We talked about these over and over until now, and we also heard people around talking - at least some of my friends are crazy about changing their "old" iPod Nanos with the new ones, no matter how they are going to look and feel, and I am sure they are not the only ones to be like that...
