I've heard rumors that 16gb ipod Nano is in the works. This would be great for many like me who love the Nano for it's size but need more memory. Is a 16gb Nano coming out?

Seems like the obvious progression. Flash prices are tanking, down to about $2.25/GB, so even 32GB is possible in a $200 player with Apple's usual margins.

That depends how fast the flash is...

edit: a 16 GB SDHC card is almost $100

Looking at the current lineup, the nanos come in 4 GB and 8 GB configurations. The iPod touch comes in 8 GB and 16 GB configurations.

I think that Apple will make the 8 GB iPod nano the "new" low-end model with a 16 GB becoming the "new" high-end model.

They might even keep the 4 GB iPod nano as a super low-end budget model.

I don't imagine they'd jump to 32 GBs for a nano just yet. That might be reserved for the "new" high-end iPod touch. But it sure would be interesting....
