Digg founder Kevin Rose has posted pictures of the supposed new generation iPod nano, confirming that it will return to its old design just with a longer screen. The 4th-generation iPod nano will also again incorporate a wrap-around aluminium body but this time it will be in a curvier shape. The click wheel will remain but will be a dark grey colour rather than the original white.

Rose also states that the changes will be launched in two to three weeks time along with a few cosmetic changes to the iPod touch as well. To make sure that iPod sales continue to move, a price drop is likely to make sure that the value the US$199 iPhone 3G represents doesn’t detract from iPod sales.

When the new iPods are released iTunes 8 will likely be launched as well. For Rose’s complete revelations check out the YouTube video he posted.
