Kevin Rose, the mastermind behind the social bookmarking and news site Digg, has just announced to the internet that in roughly a month (give or take a week) the iPod Nano line will be redesigned. The new (4th generation) iPod Nano will revert back to the 2nd generation iPod Nano’s rough shape, but with a gently curved profile. The screen will also be in widescreen format, but positioned vertically.
Also, since the iPhone has seen a large price drop from the original to the 3G upgrade, its iPod cousins will follow suit with a significant price drop.
Beyond the minor cosmetic changes to the iPod touch, iTunes is moving up to 8.0. The upgrade is tagged as significant enough to deserve the “8.0″ grade.
An Apple fanboy somewhere just wet his pants.
Here’s Kevin’s video:
