Apple Tells Retailers to Stock Up on Current MacBooks and iPods (Don’t Buy One Now)

If you needed a bigger hint that new iPods and MacBooks (whatever form they take) are around the corner, AppleInsider is reporting that Apple has “strongly suggested” to its retail channel partners to stock up on at least four weeks worth of their best-selling iPod models, and at least three weeks worth of MacBooks and MacBook Pros.

This indicates they’re ramping down production of current models, and gearing up for fresh goods in early to mid-September, though the stretch for new notebooks might be a bit longer. Regardless of the exact timing, save yourself the trouble of kicking your own ass by holding off on buying a new iPod or notebook for the next few weeks, if only to see what’s in the pipe.

New iPod nano Will Be Taller, Skinnier, More Zune-Like (Gasp!)

iLounge is reporting that this year’s iPod nano will have a bigger screen than the current generation, with the same 1.5:1 widescreen aspect ratio as the iPhone and iPod touch. In order to cram in that kind of screen real estate, it’s getting stretched back out to its old school proportions (which I like better anyway). They’re also saying that the rumor the nano will have a discoteque-worthy paintjob is “most likely inaccurate.” But yeah, it does sorta look like a Zune! iPod season is here. [iLounge]

Zune Guy Looks Even Creepier with an iPod touch

Apple, if this has all been just one particularly ambitious viral marketing campaign, know that this photo would scare even the most loyal of fanboys, forcing them to boil their poor iPods for proper sterilization from the new, intangible “ick factor.” In all seriousness, we’re sure that Steve “ex-Zunemeister” Smith is a nice guy. But Cupertino did not engineer the touch to be in such close proximity to that ’stache. [iPhone Savior]

90210 iPod nano Will Make You the King Duderino

“Yo Dylan!”
“Hey Kelly!”
“You hear what happened to Steve and Donna?”
“Who?”

The great thing about the Beverly Hills 90210 iPod is that everyone will think you’re being ironic, even if you aren’t. [CBS via ChipChick]
