Say Cheese to the iPad Nano

The rumor of the iPod Nano getting a camera has been around for a while now, spurred by spy shots of a prototype last year. Now, new shots of an iPod Nano with a built in camera are surfacing. Could Apple release the smallest iPod with a camera yet?

Apple Replacing 1st Gen. iPod Nano with Latest Version

Apple recalled the first generation iPod Nano over concerns involving the battery overheating. At first, they were simply replacing customers' iPod Nanos with brand new first generation iPod Nanos. Although Apple hasn't been pro ducting the first generation iPod Nano for some time. Eventually, they ran out of stock. So, to make up for it, Apple has begun replacing the incoming
first generation iPod Nanos with the latest version, which is arguably the best iPod Nano yet.

Not a bad deal for any iPod Nano owners, turn in your old tech, get the latest version of it. If you're the owner of an iPod Nano, you can check to see if your Nano is part of the recall here. Apple recommends that anyone with a recalled iPod Nano should stop using it, and turn it in for a brand new one.

Would you Like a Speaker with that iPod?

Apple's working on a new design for the clip on the iPod Nano and Shuffle that would incorporate a speaker. Evidence of this claim came from recent patents filed by Apple. It's unknown whether or not the speaker would be good enough for music, or if it would only be useful for user interface feedback (think of the click made by the touch based click wheel  in the older iPods).

Sound could be transferred to the rear part of the clip through the hinge mechanism. I'd imagine the read part of the clip would have to be widened to make room for a speaker.

Apple didn't post a big update for the iPod lineup this year, so they could either hold off until next Fall, or release an update along with a new iPad in early 2012.
