“Shaw Wu with Kaufman Bros. issued a note to investors Thursday in which he said one potential surprise from Apple could be a redesigned iPod nano with a smaller form factor and no click wheel,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider.

“Wu said sources have indicated that Apple has procurement plans for a redesigned iPod nano,” Hughes reports. “He also noted that the image of an acoustic guitar in Apple’s invitation to its Sept. 1 event may suggest that the rumored Apple TV update will not be a part of the event.”

Hughes reports, “Wu does not believe a new Apple TV will be announced, though he added that the Cupertino, Calif., company ‘may surprise.’ But the guitar image in the invitation, coupled with the timing of the event earlier in September than usual, seem to indicate otherwise.”
