The news from ilounge reported that the next generation of iPod nano releasing recently will have a taller screen, matching the iPhone and iPod touch’s screen aspect ratio of 1.5:1 and up from the 1.33:1 aspect ratio found in the current iPod nano display.
“It may be hard to believe, but from what we’ve now heard from multiple sources, it’s true: the fourth-generation iPod nano will look like… a Microsoft Zune. Well, sort of.”

In order to fit the screen and Click Wheel neatly together, it says, the new nano will adopt a form factor that shifts away from the almost square dimensions of the 2007 third-generation nano back towards the general shape of the first- and second-generation models. It’s a surprise that the new nano will be bigger than the prior model, but the goal appears to be preservation of all of the prior model’s usability while adding a bigger screen, and there aren’t so many other ways as we supposed to accomplish that goal.
As the former generation, the new device will have a multi-colored body are most likely inaccurate. A single-colored anodized aluminum frame akin to prior iPod nanos will apparently be used, with each nano offered in one color. Obviously, we’ll see what the real story is when Apple introduces the new nano later this year, but our sources are extremely confident in the accuracy of these details.
