New Shuffle and Nano for Macworld

Wonder why those 1GB shuffles are all out until January? Interesting timing, no? I’d say you can expect some new shuffles from Macworld as well a bump up in storage, too. There’ll probably be a 2GB shuffle along with the 1GB. I’d be surprised if the 512MB sticks around. As to look-and-feel of the new shuffles, I would guess Apple will stick with what works to keep cost down; however, it wouldn’t surprise me to find a small LCD on the unit.

Nano-nano may be getting a Mork update, too. With the deal Apple made for NAND memory, I take it as a hold for Apple to get some larger capacity out of the small wonders and would expect to find a 6GB puppy in Steve Jobs hands come this keynote in January. With the mini’s colorful rainbow gone, you may be looking at a few new colors to complete the nano update.

Speculation is a wonderful thing, especially when fueled by clues of the industry, and we’ll see if this one is one of the many that will be true or not.
