Is This What the New iPod Nano Will Look Like? [Rumor]
Gizmodo —
Kevin Rose's Apple crystal ball has been wrong more often than not (he was sorta right about $199 iPhone), but this time he's seen a picture! He says that not only will the new iPod nano be tall and skinny and giant-screened like we've heard, he says it'll be rounded (like if the whole iPhone was shaped like its ass-side), and even provides a handy rendering. His other rumorage is all way more reasonable than his past forecasting, so they're actually possible too! ...

New iPod Nano? Sure. This One? I’m Skeptical.
Technologizer —
... Digg’s Kevin Rose has blogged that new, cheaper iPods will arrive in the next two or three weeks. That I can believe.

But Rose has also posted a photo of what is supposedly the new iPod Nano in a skinny form factor that looks more like the original Nano than the current, more squarish design: ...

Well, Rose now has another prediction involving Mac OS X, but he mostly goes on about iPods in a video via his personal blog . The biggest change in the lineup will be the reintroduction of the ...

... come with a 2.1 software update. Best of all, Rose says that the whole iPod line will drop in price so as not to lose sales the the $200 iPhone.

We'll soon be able to check the accuracy of Kevin's sources. He says all this will happen in the next two to three weeks.

Tomorrow's Big Apple Surprise? ITunes Subscriptions
Wired: Gadget Lab —
... the fabled tablet Mac (with unicorn-horn antenna). Others think it will be a touchscreen MacBook Pro. I call nonsense on these.
September's Apple Events have, for the last few years, been all about the iPod, with some iTunes announcements thrown in. A new Nano isn't enough to hire a bigger venue and encourage the press to fill it up. And a few new widescreen iPods certainly isn't a major "product transition". The evidence here all points to a brand new iTunes.
Kevin Rose predicted the Nano 4G, and in the same blog post hinted at iTunes 8: (it's a big update w/new ...
