Will the next iPod nano be a little square?

iPod nano touch

Back in July we saw an Apple labeled 1.5" touchscreen and wondered if it would be for a tiny, multitouch nano. Now some new cases, purportedly for the same device, makes us wonder much the same again.

Would it run iOS? Could it, with a screen that small? You could fit, what, 2x2 icons for a grid of 4 apps total? Web browsing probably wouldn't be included, but could it have ports of all the usual nano music, photos, video, and other assorted functionality?

Apple has scaled up iOS on the iPad, and is rumored to be doing that again with Apple TV/iTV but would it work as well scaled down for the iPod nano?

We'll find out in a few days.

  1. Nice to be visiting your blog again, it has been months for me, always good writings here.

  2. rob says:

    That would probly be the first ipod.I would use since I got my iphone

  3. tom says:

    I agree with rob, and that would be intelligent marketing by apple. they have probably been working on an iPod that's small enough yet with enough functionality for iPhone users for quite some time

    Suckers!!! Pay for my new house, but do not stop paying for iPad and iPhone data plans.

  5. zero credibility says:

    @Steve Jobs, 600mins 1000texts, unlimited data = $30/month i think that's pretty good.

  6. frog says:

    Looks more like a Shuffle to me. THe existing Shuffle design has been a disaster in sales figures for Apple.

    hey there, this may possibly be little offtopic, but i'm hosting my internet site on hostgator and they will suspend my hosting in 4days, so i would like to ask you which hosting do you use or recommend?

  8. You spoke about a few curious points on this page. I came across this by using Msn and I have to confess that I am now subscribed to the blog, it is very great (;
