New iPod leaked?
http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/i...eal-spy-photo/
I know these leaked photos come out of the woodwork each and every time an announcement is made, but what do you think of this? Elaborate fake or real?

it's highly likely to be real. not only is it consistent with other leaks, but 4th generation nano cases have already been found in stores.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this leaked image is nothing like the real thing will be. For some reason, I can't help think that it is all a big hoax, and that the people behind it will reveal how easy it was for them to drive the Internet crazy.
The design in these leaks just looks too boring. Apple always innovates when the release a totally new device, and this just looks too much like the old ones.
I'm still convinced that the Nano will be touch screen, and that it will be "super thin", with Wi-Fi.
As for the 4th gen case leaks, I'm sure that some Chinese guy figured he'd beat everyone to the new case design, and based it off the fake pictures popping up online.

Aside from form factor tweaks, all of the new nanos haven't been too much different from what is, at the time, the old ones.

except the design departure on the 3gen nano...interesting direction, that. I agree with other posts that this would be a handy shape more or less and really like the rumored 16gb memory.

1) For how many years did the standard iPod go without a major revamp, just better storage, battery life, and better screen?
2) The re-vamped product is the ipod Touch, so there's already a new branch in that portion of the family tree.

Apple really needs a new "oomph" in their portable players, and a nano sized touch player would deliver the oomph they need, especially since people will be doing Christmas shopping in a few months.

Since apple more often than not, underwhelms me with their hyped up releases, I think the 4G Nano is the leaked version.
It might have a new OS, but WiFi and touch, I think not.
Tuesday will be the "next big reveal", to borrow a phrase from Days of our Lives.
