A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
does this look familiar........oh thats right. its a design from the old 2g nano clones

Remember when we were all watching "fish bowl" televisions? Some things retro are cool; those are not.
File this and all other articles for the Nano under "Who Gives A Crap". I mean come on.. my SanDisk jump drive is bigger than this thing and costs a hell of a lot less... who really gives a crap about a 4GB MP3 Player? Get real. So not news worthy. Now if you announce a 32GB or 80GB iPhone 3G.. ok I can see a legit reason for a lot of buzz.
Fugly! This render is more belieavable due to the fact that it has that lame proprietary port on it.
nano is on a diet and is still growing, it not big-boned anymore
I can't wait for them to announce that videos are played in a wide ratio holding the iPod sideways... I would so love to hear what Jubei would have to say about that... Probably something about how innovative it is and totally destroys the Zune.
Come on, Jubei, I know you want to say something. :)
You know, looking at it in a different light, it IS sexy. I liked the original iPod nano's better than the fat design that is out now. This design might even mean I can use it without thinking i would crush it, haha.
Come on guys! This is another poorly produced render. There has been a freakin brilliant mock-up of the new nano out for over week. http://www.iphonesavior.com/2008/08/amazing-ipod-na.html
You need to get out once in awhile and look around.
Nice, taken without credit given to the original posting. at ZolloTech.com posted an hour prior to this one.
Oh, not that I am bitter, I love engadget, I am just saying....
Disappointed yes, but not with the new Nano design... On the contrary, this new sku will blow the market away both in terms of price point and new innovative functionality- hundreds of millions will be sold.
I'm just disappointed that no-one has figured it out yet. Sure, lot's of folks have danced around it with observations of what seemingly appear to be contradictive aspects of the device including a seemingly ergonomically challenged, odd shaped flat elliptical design, click wheel that will be awkwardly sideways when watching landscaped video, recessed / protruding wheel & screen on mock-ups that would be problematic to use base on case form-factor, etc.
And of course, the ultimate contradiction- what is so innovative about a Nano throwback to an earlier size simply with a bigger screen that would necessitate AAPL senior leadership to issue a warning concerning (historically) lower margins based on new technology and pricing strategy??
OK- STOP thinking traditional Nano. If you think it odd that Apple would marry touch screen technology with the traditional mechanical click wheel technology on the same device- you'd be on the right track. Remember, what you're looking at is nothing more than photos of a Nano *case* based purely on specs sent from corporate to 3rd party vendors (it's amusing but nothing Corporate Legal is concerned with). The traditional click wheel as you know it is a thing of the past as of next Tuesday. The wheel functionality as we've come to love it will stay intact, but will be converted completely to 'touch' technology- a virtual click-wheel if you will- and yes, even one integrated with accelerometer technology which auto-adjusts based on orientation.
In fact, what if Mr Jobs showed you how the *entire* surface area of the Nano was a single wrap-around SCREEN? There, NOW you know why the curved edge elliptical case came from. As to what you'd actually use the wrap around screen for? I'll leave that up to you to connect the dots. Let's just say, few will be spending hours deliberating which color Nano to go with. Choices are as varied as the rainbow- what the hell- MAKE it a rainbow if ya want!!
Cheers my friends
The new iPod Nano Silver has a black scroll wheel. Apple is also introducing a goldenrod color and is re-introducing orange. The screen dimensions are the same as the current third gen model.
The colors have white touch wheels, Black and Silver are using black touch wheels. Fun Stuff!
Looks Like The Old One
