Another day, another case for the so-far unofficial iPod nano 4G. Today it’s a pair of silicon skins from manufacturer Jivo, the box-copy for which proclaims them specially crafted for Apple’s next-gen nano, and from what we can see of the form-factor a decent match for the general consensus around what the upcoming PMP will look [...]
According to the latest rumors, Nintendo is preparing a refresh of its DS portable games console which is scheduled to hit shelves in April or May 2009. IGN is reporting that the handheld will gain dual touchscreens, one or both of which would be widescreen aspect.
Another day, another iPod nano 4G render. This comes from case retailer Alibaba from a screen protector listing, and is the first image we’ve seen that includes a bottom-up view of the dock connector and headphone socket.
Compared to this latest rumor, the “leaked” iPod dimensions look positively concrete. Investment bank RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky has told investors that he expects Apple is working on an “entry level, low cost (less than $99 subsidized) prepaid iPod/phone” that would concentrate solely on music and phone calls.

Cases purported to be for the rumored fourth-generation iPod nano and second-generation iPod touch have appeared on Alibaba (here, here and here).
