Kevin Rose iPod Rumors: Price Cut, New iTunes 8.0 Features and Tall, Rounded Nano [Rumor]

Kevin Rose’s Apple crystal ball has been wrong more often than not (he was sorta right about $199 iPhone), but this time he’s seen photos people! (”It looks pretty cool.”) He states that not only will the new iPod nano be tall and skinny and giant-screened like we’ve heard, he states it’ll be rounded (like iPhone 3G’s ass-side, but all the way around), and even provides this handy rendering. His other rumorage, like a big iTunes update with for-real new features, is all way more reasonable than his past forecasting, so they’re actually possible too!

- Revamp of entire iPod line.
- Small cosmetic changes to Touch, Nano to see significant redesign (see pic below).
- iPods to see fairly massive price drops to distance itself from the $199 iPhone.
- iPod touch 2.1 software, iPhone to get update very soon after.
- iTunes 8.0 (”it’s a large update w/new features”).
- All of this coming in the next 2-3 weeks.

In a way I kinda miss the crazier predictions even if he is more correct now—I liked hoping that at least one of his more outlandish ones was true. And he states more info—with pictures—is coming. Has Kevin finally gotten a rock solid source? [Kevin Rose]
