Rumor: 5 and 10GB iPod Nanos Coming?


A anecdotal story - from India - via CoolTechZone reports that Apple may be prepping the release of 5GB and 10GB iPod Nanos.

The evidence? A placard advertising said Nanos at said capacities. The Indian Apple-Authorized Reseller reportedly said that the new models were arriving at the end of May.

How the dealer would be aware of this, we don't know. However, it's true that since the demise of the 6GB iPod Mini and the dearth of other models in the 10-30GB range, Apple has left the market somewhat open to competitors. However, Apple prices its iPods quite closely together, which would mean a very narrow price band were Apple to, for instance, (re)intro a 20GB model.

On the other hand, we'd like to see Apple bring in BTO options for iPod, at least at the Apple Store.
