Mac Soda's Mockup (Except for the home button...)

Word is spreading around the internet that the new iPod Nano will go back to its old form factor, not be multi-colored as 9to5 Mac claims, and adopt a new 1.5:1 screen ratio. iLounge cites “a very reliable source” and claims that the old fatty form factor and 1.33:1 screen ratio will be abandoned. There is some truth to this, but some is false. As you can see in the picture, the screen is the same ratio as the iPod Touch and iPhone. iLounge is correct about this new ratio, but they are incorrect about something else: the click wheel. In short, the new iPod Nanos will be Touch. I edited their mockup (sloppily) so that you can see the comparison.

UPDATE: Mac Soda believes that this product exists, but will not kill off the existing iPod Nano. There will be an extra addition to the line: iPod Touch Nano (name not official). This will be the lineup when the updates come…
