More new iPod nano whispers hit the web

Longer, more vertical model rumoured

Contradicting apparent leaks from 9to5Mac that Apple is prepping a multi-coloured new nano, iLounge reports that the new model will instead look like Microsoft's flash-based Zune, with a return to the longer design of the original nano.

It's rumoured to offer a vertically tall oriented display with a click wheel underneath, and is said to get the same 1.5:1 widescreen aspect ratio as the iPhone and iPod touch, with the design meaning you'll rotate the device to watch videos on it.

iLounge's unidentified sources (who are apparently "extremely confident" in these assertions) say that a single-colored anodized aluminum frame will apparently be used, with each nano offered in one colour.
