Psyclops starts as a case for your iPod nano 3G or 4G. But each case includes a registration code you’ll use to register with the site and build your Psyclops character online. You’ll then be able to construct your own 30 second songs using a Garageband-style set up, and then use your character to create a dance video to accompany your song. The end results are rudimentary, but still kind of slick and quite fun.

Apple quietly released an update for the fourth generation iPod nano last night. The update fixes various bugs, including problems with the Nike+ iPod dongle, as well as adding support for forthcoming iPod earbuds with mics and remotes: Included in the list of updates of this ~58MB update is support for Apple’s yet-to-be-released in-ear headphones more »

Hey, Apple, thanks for not mentioning these at that big, fancy event you held. Seems either Steve forgot to mention a product, or retailers are the mistaken ones. A 4GB iPod nano has been showing up in several places. First at a Dutch store, then at Amazon Germany, and now on the Canadian Best Buy more »

Apple’s new iPod nano has some extra features that you may not have noticed at first glance. Actually, you can’t see my favorite new feature of the iPod nano’s menu system, but it “sounds” very promising, and I’m hoping Apple can add to it’s functionality.

Apple added some accessibility features to the new nano in the form of spoken menus.

Apple today announced the (much rumored) revamp of the iPod nano line.

Available in 8GB ($149) and 16GB ($199) versions, the new nano comes in nine different colors and features a redesigned screen which takes up most of the product’s face. Battery life is estimated by Apple to be 24 hours of music play, 4 hours of video play.

Details (and additional colors) after the break.

Kevin Rose’s spy shots turned out to be correct! The 4th generation iPod Nano is exactly like the spy shots we’ve seen in the last week or two — it has an aluminum oval design, with a longer screen. Jobs claims it’s the “Thinnest iPod we’ve ever made”, and “You’ll be blown away by how thin it is”. As for new features, the 4th-gen Nano will have an enhanced UI, accelerometer from the iPhone and iPod Touch for CoverFlow — and, support for the new iTunes 8 Genius function.

As the day draws closer, Apple continues to make preparations for its Let’s Rock special event. Apple has now put up a banner on the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco where the event is to be held.

The banner is in typical Apple style with a dancing person’s silhouette on a colorful background, with an iPod of course. This is clearly truth in advertising, I mean, I can’t not dance when I turn on my iPod. Who can resist? The technology just moves me!

At this point, we know an Apple product isn’t official until somebody takes a crappy, rushed picture of said product. The picture above clearly shows an orange iPod nano, meeting all the requisites we’ve seen in the last week. With all the hoopla around Kevin Rose’s iPod information leaking, we’ve all been lead to believe that Apple is indeed making a new iPod nano. Now, this picture of an elongated iPod nano all but proves that September 9th will be the day Apple makes Kevin look like the leading Apple pundit.

It seems that Alibaba.com has a listing for a “Screen Protector for iPod Nano 4th Gen,” and, potentially far more interesting, a picture of the rumored device.

This lines up with pretty much all of the current rumors for the new iPod nano 4th Gen. It has a click wheel and dock connecter, like we’ve come to expect. This picture appears to suggest the body of the device will be curved, but it looks as if the screen is flat. The screen also seems to be taller, making widescreen video much easier to watch.

Details, and news on the 2nd gen iPod touch, after the break.

On the floor of the IFA, Engadget Spanish discovered a certain iPod case that seems to prove those Kevin Rose rumors. Looks like the Dark Tipper wasn’t lying after all. On a massive wall with thousands upon thousands of iPod accessories, a single case from Hama, a British company, was pecked out. The case says “For iPod nano 4G” (pictured above), and if a real item is a fake, then somebody really put a lot of money into pulling a prank on the iPod-loving community. It carries the rounded shape that was predicted by Mr. Digg, and seems to fit the dimensions shown in other iPod nano document that have been released.

From the information we received from Kevin Rose, and now this, a new iPod nano is all but confirmed. However, especially with Apple, the minor details are always still in the air, so check back here for more as it happens, especially on (the rumored d-day) September 9th.
