Hmmm.... could it be an iPhone nano instead ? Sort of an iPhone with clickwheel instead of touch ? (I doubt it, but the formfactor seems strange on a new nano - why go back to an old design )

Has to be the new iPod nano. Even a new "iPhone Nano" would have the headset jack on the top.

It's only a day away... let's stop the speculation for 24hrs. and i like the new form factor, easier to hold, i listen to more music than watch videos. fatboy nano was "cute" but holy sh*t i dropped it so many damn times and so did alot of people i know.

didn't like the fatboy nano myself... the generation before that was awesome...

i hope this nano is touch, not a click wheel. And one that can replace a watch and provide directions

It'll hardly be the 'old design'. There'll be a much larger and wider screen.
The form factor itself is ubiquitous in the world of electronic devices.

I hope it has an accelerometer.

I'll tell you why the old design... the new one flopped.

"holy sh*t i dropped it so many damn times and so did alot of people i know"

You and your friends must all be penguins then eh?

Looks like Elvis holding a 4Gb Chiclet to me....

What if we see iPod Touch nano?
hmm, nah... the touch is just barely enough to see. But wait... touch screen with a limited touch screen function. Excited about tomorrow like everyone do.

It's gonna be the all new iRaq, Apple have bought the entire country and are going to make it a centre of excellence for Apple - if you need technical support, visit iRaq.

Apple's design backtracking must mean ...

iPod mini>1G iPod nano
2G iPod nano>3G iPod nano

That is not a Nano. It is way to large in the guys hand. I am hearing that it is a new iPod.

cb... you got it.
And it couldn't be anything else on the poster. That's a big slip-up from Apple. Who gets fired for that one?

The 3G nano has always felt awkward to hold. I WANTED to like it, but never liked the form factor. The iPod mini/nano 1-2G felt "right" in the hand.

MacintoshSoftwareList.com: The iPod looks huge, because the guy is really, really little.

It's a rather generic silhouette (that I believe Apple has used before) and it's a rather large foot print (in the hand) for a Nano. That is unless the silhouette of the dancing dude is a dude who has very small hands and the silhouette itself is totally out of perspective. Apple also as never done anything to give away clues to a product launch before an event (all the things Apples Marketing team has always avoided doing in the silhouette iPod ads and in doing these special event announcements).
I'll stick with it's just a generic iPod silhouette and not some per clue to an iPod Nano announcement.

What I think odd is that the headphoneconnector is at the bottom not at the top...

Nah,

It's an iPod Mini. Apple's going BACK a generation just to rub Dell's, Zune's and Windows PlaysFor$ure in the dirt.

I was in a Argos Extra Store, In the UK, and there are signs saying 'New Refurbished iPods in store'. I went in, but there was no new iPods.

Maybe the sign was put up a few days earlier?

You wouldn't know it from the banner, but "Let's Rock" actually refers to a new iPod accessory that oscillates rocking chairs in sync with the rhythm of the music being played. Once again, Apple leads with innovation.

If so I hope it's not in any way drawn to scale. It's too damn big.

Get a grip!

It is art, not a photo.

There is the left side of an artist's brain between that giant poster and reality.

Bigger than life, it looks.

is it just me or is the 'silhouette' marketing scheme really starting to look old and dated...

@Chris,
It's you.

iPod Classic, but at an angle so it looks foreshortened.

It's a Zune! Apple finally gave up and accepted defeat!

turns out... it's an iPod taser and the guy is just flying backwards.

See! RTFM from now on.

That silhouette looks like Michael Jackson in his Beat It (or was it Thriller) outfit. Does that suggest Beatles catalog coming to iTunes?

Can't be an iPod classic cuz, in the image, the earbuds are coming out of the bottom. Leaked image of new iPod nano on Engadget show earbud jack on bottom of unit.

The green background is indicative of the ecological mindedness of the new devise. A small solar panel will help power the battery-solar hybrid, while recycled material will be incorporated into the contents of the iPod. Radio waves will be streaming alongside the usual iTunes-derived music. Handwriting recognition will be included into the iPod touch.
