New iPod Nano design all but confirmed by major iPod accessory manufacturer

In the welfare halls where Korean gadget merchants with dot-matrix signs spend the IFA lazily snoring, Engadget en Espanol spotted about as official a confirmation of the iPod Nano 4G’s new form-factor as you can get: major iPod accessory manufacturer Hama was showing off their official line of cases for the new Nano. As Wired’s Gadget Lab notes: “This isn’t just some fly-by-night Chinese knockoff merchant: Hama is a venerable and well respected company.”

I think we can safely take it as read this is the real look of the new Nano. The real question for me is whether the Classic will follow suit with a change to the screen dimensions.
