iLounge has published images and dimensions of the forthcoming new iPod nano and iPod touch products which are set for announcement next week by Apple.
The images of the supposed new iPod nano show a device that measures 90.75mm tall by 38.75mm wide by 6.08mm deep, compared to the second-generation nano’s measurements of 90mm by 40mm by 6.5mm. This means the new iPod nano will be the "thinnest and narrowest iPod nano yet released," iLounge observes.
The screen is expected to be flat and plastic-covered, the report observes, following some speculation it would be curved, thus interfering with the viewing experience.
The iPod touch has been tweaked to the same shape as the iPhone 3G, the site reports. Measurements are 111mm tall by 61.8mm wide and 8.4mm deep.
"Notably, the drawings show what appear to be volume controls on the left side, addressing a key concern of iPod touch users; the added thickness might be attributable to changes in the battery."
iLounge has more information on the designs.
