“Confirming details first reported by iLounge in July, apparent dimensional drawings for both the fourth-generation iPod nano and second-generation iPod touch have appeared, suggesting that the devices will have familiar measurements but with interesting new shapes and features,” Charles Starrett reports for iLounge.
“Images of the supposed new iPod nano show a device that measures 90.75mm tall by 38.75mm wide by 6.08mm deep, compared to the second-generation nano’s measurements of 90mm by 40mm by 6.5mm. These numbers suggest that the device will be the thinnest and narrowest iPod nano yet released, though almost inperceptibly so, while also just a hint taller than the original and second-generation models. An oval-like body shape will be similar to, but apparently more pronounced than the one on the second-generation nano. Notably, the images seem to extinguish a concern that the device’s screen would be curved to match its shape; the metal body will give way to a plastic-covered screen that is as flat as prior-generation screens,” Starrett reports.
“The second-generation iPod touch is depicted as having a shape similar to the iPhone 3G,” Starrett reports.

Poor poor chairs…. their relief was short lived!!!
Why isn’t this thought to be the iPod nano?
Please larger capacity for the iPod Touch xcrossesfingersx
If this is real, there is a new button/port on one side of the new iPod touch, and a “something” where the camera is located on the iPhone.
The iPhone’s side volume buttons are a great fit for the side, but why would the camera (if there is one) have such a big hole?
My prediction is that this indicates a camera with a flash.

Damn! Also just realised that if this is indeed the dimensions of the new iPod touch, there ain’t no speaker holes where the iPhone speakers would be. So that means no speakers likely. 🙁
damn I love to listen to music with allot of bass on a phone
i hope apple fixes this ..
blackberry have amazing sound dj in the house is what I am talkin about
when is jobs funeral by the way??
iPods get smaller, they get bigger, they get smaller, they get bigger, they get smaller, they get bigger, they get smaller, they get bigger, they get smaller, they get bigger, they get smaller, they get bigger, they get smaller, they get bigger.
I wonder how many people will lose their jobs as a result of these leaks?
I still think the touch is to future of all modern computing.
“Reality Check
Yawn. More MP3 players. Who cares?”
yawn, another guy with the name “reality” who obviously has no idea what the word means.
Seriously, with the that iPod Nano, Why would Apple take a step backwards? they had some good reasons to make it wider with the 3rd gen ones.
I want an iPod I can cut cheese with.
You may want to look at Mac Book Air then…
Never did much care for chunky iPods. The tall/thin versions were so elegant.
@Unfettered: A portable cheese slicer powered by the iPod’s docking port is a great idea. You should talk to Griffin about it.
I want a touch, come on Apple, do something to push me over the edge!
