iLounge has published some leaked dimensional drawings of the forthcoming iPod (due to be unveiled next week). The new touch will look similar to the current iPhone 3G and has volume buttons on it's side, top left. The thicker body may attribute to a different, more powerful battery. The new nano looks just like the 2nd generation but with a taller screen. It's almost candy bar phone-like. What if it is an iPhone nano? The design of the nano disappoints me. The 1st-gen was so nice; a miniature version of the classic iPod - i bought one myself. Ever since Apple had to rethink it's design (after there was bad press about it's strength), it's asthetically hasn't moved on. The 2nd-gen was a step back (as it looked like a smaller iPod mini); the 3rd gen was just plain ugly (a short and fat sister) but nicely tapered around the edge. The design of the 4th gen nano (if these drawings are kosher) looks like Ive's design team were on holiday and someone dug out a prototype from five years ago. Shame on you, Apple.
