We all know how paranoiac Apple can be about future products to be introduced and how the company can abuse of such secrets for marketing reason.
So it is rather surprising to see the shape of the iPod Nano 4G to be revealed. It seems that Apple communicated information to third-parties to allow them to develop protections and other dedicated peripherals right on time for the launch of the new model. However, it seems that someone among those companies decided to break the NDA and to unveil the shape of the future iPod Nano 4G based on the design of a dedicated protection.
Even Engadget could put its hands on such iPod Nano 4G protection. In such conditions, one can imagine that Apple will revise its policies with third-parties, except if Cupertino has been indirectly controlling such leaks
