Image deliberately obscured? Reader deliberately annoyed!

why would Apple want to make the Nano bigger now? that is stupid.

Engadget posted the real photo:

Another "leaked" photo that (again) just happens to be out of focus?

Likely a mock-up. Simple enough considering the basics of iPod design. A quick print from a inkjet printer, xacto blade and an old 2G nano box and Bob's your uncle. Mocked up way more complex products than this. Being out-o-focus is the deal clincher for winnowing a fake from the real deal. The toughest part to fake would be the connector and headset port. Do the headphones connect top or bottom this time? If you're not sure, obsure that view in your photo. Nice try.

As it turns out the real thing will likely look very much like this. I didn't like the chubby nano. Looking forward to the return to thin.

For the same reason the Zune 4/8 was bigger....because that body design is easier to use and hold, but still allows for a bigger screen that can show video.

No they Didin't.Its Just the same Photo.

"why would Apple want to make the Nano bigger now? that is stupid."

It is probably bigger because the device will do more... there is a significant hardware and software upgrade with this version of the nano, and the more powerful hardware requires a little more space.

Well, I would say photo is a fake as Apple has not been selling ipods in those plastic boxes for a couple of years now.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but they have been shipped in card boxes as these are "green" unlike the plastic boxes which are evil!

Snax

looks pretty real to me.
