No, they will call it an iPod. But the zune is not a bad device. It's and outdated device, with terrible desktop software, that isn't mac compatible. It does have built in Wi-Fi (and had it long before the iPod touch) and the swipe controls are pretty cool too. If Apple put there own software on the Zune, and made it look all apple-y, it would be an incredible device that I would buy in an instant. Then again, they'd probably get this. And as much of an Apple Fanboy that I am, I have no problem with that,
But how long until the image gets pulled. Usually Apple Legal would be all over this if it were real. Maybe that means that the real update is in the software, not the hardware, or is Apple Legal just taking the day off?
Err..... I'm not toooo sure about this new nano. It looks kinda like those copycat mp4 players which are cheap, but they try to copy iPod's design. However this one looks a bit like those crap players... Also, amazingly, this is EXACTLY what the real thing looks like...
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.
i like it
I like it too... it will probably feel really great in the hand...
looks like they went back to the plastic tops+bottoms though... and i think u might have to rotate sideways to watch vids, if it can.
other than that...i REALLY like the curving...giggity giggity gig-ga-dee
If you like this player so much, you would probably also like the player it copied its appearance from....the Zune 4G!

Gee, I kinda thought the flash Zune looked like the 1st and 2nd gen Nanos.

Yes, Apple is copying the Zune, which copied Apple's iPod, which copied the Nomad, which copied the Sony Walkman. Holy crap! My head is spinning!
I think Engadget has been bought out by Mac Rumors. Also is Google Chrome not worth reporting on Engadget.
Is Google Chrome a gadget?
Is windows a gadget?
Is Itunes a gadget?
Is OS X a gadget?
Isn't engadget going to talk about that too?
Are they calling it the ZunePod or iZune?
@ anyone who mentioned the zune.

The Zune's wifi only has ad-hoc capabilities, but the iPod Touch can browse the Internet. Big difference there.
@d
So your vote is iZune?

maybe that large screen is used for touch?
and apples given the option of using the touch screen controll or
use the click wheel?
the overly large screen may be due to the fact that it could be for a touch screen?
