Apple Denies Netbook Rumor: “Not a consumer experience that we would put the Mac brand on”

  

  Apple continues to deny that they are releasing a netbook as has been rumored for some time.  Apple executive Tim Cook had this to say about netbooks:

If we find a way to deliver an innovative product that really makes a contribution, we’ll do that."

UPDATE:  According to MacSoda "They’re fake everyone! JR, the man behind these pictures, had another “leak” not too long ago… and we all know how that turned out!"

               This means the glass trackpad could be a reality or just wishful thinking…

4th Gen iPod Nano Case in Hand

  The many pictures of 4th generation iPod nano cases are now the official shape.  Engadget Spanish earlier posted a picture of the case in hand.

 

The case shows the new nano has the long screen as in all other pictures and looks to be about the same size as the 2nd gen iPod nano.  I can’t imagine Apple is pleased with all the early releases, but this has been the going trend for some time.
