“Ironically, the only sure way to know the truth in an Apple rumor is to receive a takedown notice from Apple Legal. That’s what happened to both Gizmodo and Apple news site 9to5Mac, who posted leaked images of a new, big screen iPod Nano,” Charlie Sorrel blogs for Wired.
“The Fatboy Nano will play video and come in matt black, silver, cranberry, light blue and light green,” Sorrel reports.

Gizmodo is running an online poll, “What do you think about the rumored new iPod nano?” along with a larger image of the rumored next-gen iPod nano here.

What about the keyboard images? They were available all over the place and I don’t think Apple Legal took them down.
U! G! L! Y!
You aint got no alibi!
You Uglay!!
You Uglay!!
Yo mama says you uglay!!!

Maybe it’s because selling keyboards is not a core Apple business?
These kinds of leaks scare me. FSS is going to be firing a LOT of people soon.
FSS…? I mean FSJ
If this is the new form, then will this work with the Nike+ sensor?
“FSS is going to be firing a LOT of people soon.”
I had no idea the Florida State Seminoles were in that much trouble.
I don’t think a takedown is proof of an actual product. I think Apple’s just as concerned about their name being attached to something not real as they are about premature news of real products.
Love it…I want…oh wait, I already have an iPhone. Whatever, I want anyway.
“Fatboy Nano”

Woody: Good point. If Gizmodo claimed to have photos of a new, brown, brick-like iPod that squirted censored WMAs, Apple should release the Apple Legal hounds on them.
well, once in a while, Apple makes a mistake…this would be one of them. I have been trying to figure out why I don’t like this new look (if real). I think it is because I don’t like the form of a widescreen rectangle inside a square form with a circle look. Not attractive at all. If it doesn’t sell very well, they will pull the plug on it about a year after…like they did with the Cube (although I loved the design of the Cube). Well see.
Just because Apple Legal has pictures taken down doesn’t mean they “confirmed” it…
stupid…
Generally, Apple only sends their legal bulls after web sites when the thing on the site is the real thing.
Me no like. The elongated elegance of the iPod mini, then nano is completely lost here. Yuckola!
Let’s hope Apple releases the widescreen iPod sans phone.
The current nanos fit in my pocket perfectly. Without the casing, just a thin cover on the screen so it doesn’t get scratched.
Fatboy nano is going to snap… it’s interesting, but I can’t see how that’ll fit in my pocket, considering that my ass is worked up to be stiff and hard, and that the current nano has a perfect width to the curvature of the smoothness of my ass.
Or what about my arm, when I wear that band to go jogging… oh I think I’ll just gain a few extra kilos, for fatboy nano to fit nicely…
In a surprising move, Apple Legal has decided to post an image in response to the images of rumored Apple products. Apparently, it’s a crude drawing of an Apple Legal proposal for new sentencing guidelines.
I do not think this is real
As the play/pause button would be unusable in docking situations, ie, car adapters, sound systems (HiFi)
Nice Zune Jr. wannabe. Still needs more buttons and decals.
Your potential. Our passion.™
MDN word: hell. As in ‘The soon to be released Zune Jr. will put a hell of a dent in copycat iPod nano sales.’
A thought…
MAYBE this is the standard iPod with solid state flash storage instead of the hard drive?
I gots t’ agree: UGLY!
9to5mac is full of BS.
Consider this: what if the width and thickness match the current nano, the screen size is the same, and the click wheel size is the same. It’s basically the same nano, only shortened to take out the extra deck space on the front.
Now it really would fit completely in the watch pocket on your jeans, and wouldn’t be subject to bending when you sit down. Also, it would still fit in most people’s dock adapters, transmitters, etc. And if the capacity went to 16GB, it would become a lot more compelling.
After all, the nano isn’t designed for pictures, videos, etc., which is why it has such a small screen. If you want those things, get the regular iPod.
FatBoy only works as an addition to the current line. Nano-a and Nano-v perhaps?
if those iPods have a touch screen, why would they have a clickwheel ?
