Why would you come out with a lower-end iPod with a color screen for the same price as the 4GB iPod-mini? If this rumor is true, Apple needs to update their entire lineup and pricing schemes.
Now that Toshiba is shipping 40GB 1.8" drives for their Gigabit players, Apple should use those to put in the minis. Make the mini the same as the iPod-photos just sleeker and at $249.
Then put more capacity into the regular iPods plus Sirius. It'd also be nice if they finally integrated the larger iPod with a PVR solution. Heck, I can already take my memory sticks and toss them in my friend's TV to watch recorded TV. Why shouldn't I be able the same with a firewire connection from my iPod?
Then I'd dump the 512MB shuffle and drop the 1GB shuffle to $99. This would open up a place for the Nano... although it'd either make the shuffle less attractive (if priced at $149) or it wouldn't make much sense to buy a Nano when a mini at $50 would have significantly more storage.
Honestly, do we really need a 4th type of iPod?!?!?!

Oops!Warbrain said:This won't happen. First off, nano wouldn't be used by Apple for a new iPod name. Apple prefers simple words like mini, photo, and shuffle. And if Apple did make this product, it would be a shuffle. Is it possible that all shuffles may get a screen at some point? Yes. Soon? I don't know. But it might happen at some point.
But this won't. This rumor is a steaming pile of crap.

Correct, because this thread is about the rumor of the nano from early in the month, not about the subsequent announcements. There is another thread for that.weev said:This is still listed as a Page 2 rumour.....
