Are these the new Nanos? 9 to 5 Mac thinks so. Engadget thinks not.
I think, real or not: UGLY! They’re like regular iPods, but somehow hideous. The color schemes are dull, and the beautiful thin look of the current iPod Nano is gone. If those are the new iPods, that’s fine. But please Apple: Don’t ruin the Nano line!
In my perfect world, Apple would keep the Nano’s generally as they are now, and release regular iPods with bigger screens, like these mock-ups I made:
They would have a much larger screen, that is higher than it is all the way across. That way, when viewing movies, you just have to flip the iPod sideways! A bit like the iPhone. It could be widescreen or not, but either way it would still have a larger screen.
Of course, there would be that much prettier interface everyone seems to have seen but me too, but it’s just a mock-up!
Oh, and then the new line-up size-wise would be $250 for a 25GB version, $300 for a 50GB version, and $350 for a 100GB version. And then the Nanos would be $150 for the 4GB version, $200 for the 8GB version, and $250 for a 16GB version.
This would finally close the huge gap between the storage in the Nano and the regular iPods. If they did this, I would definitelly buy a 25GB regular iPod. But from all of the rumors flying around, it doesn’t look like any of this is going to happen. There goes an hour wasted in Gimpshop.
I’m pretty sure it’s photoshopped. Apple would never release something that ugly and they wouldn’t use such dull colors.
I agree, look at the top of the window in the shot. It says .psd. I think that is photoshop???
