A report from iLounge today details the small changes Apple plans to implement on the iPod nano for its next, upcoming version to be released later this year between July and September. The above photo shows an artist’s rendition of the so-called iPod nano 5G (5th generation), which supposedly features a smaller clickwheel, taller body, wide screen and a built-in camera at the back, near the bottom.
If you ask me, I don’t think it makes sense to have a camera on the iPod nano. On the iPhone definitely, on the iPod touch maybe, but the iPod nano? Wi-Fi, a built-in microphone, or FM radio receiver would be much more useful than a camera on the iPod nano.
iLounge further mentions that a matte plastic version of the iPhone, along with models that don’t support 3G data will also be released later this year, most like in September. The matte black plastic iPhone has already been reported here before, and so far there hasn’t been any other information on it since the first leak. Perhaps Apple will be more generous with regards to the info we seek when September comes, during their annual keynote.
iPhone 3G now only $99 USD with 2-year AT&T contract
As many people have suspected, the iPhone 3G’s price has been dropped down to just $99 USD from $199 USD because of the announcement of the iPhone 3G S. In the US, the more affordable 8GB iPhone 3G will go on sale starting June 8th, a week and a half before the new iPhone 3G S will become available to new AT&T customers. The new iPhone 3Gs will presumably come pre-loaded with iPhone OS 3.0, giving it new features such as copy, cut and paste and a landscape keyboard.
