No offense, but since when is Target the basis for hyperventilating on a forum such as AI vis-a-vis a major Apple new product intro?
Isn't this just the kind of hype that could send the stock zooming up on Tues (Sept 4), and then come crashing down of Wed (Sept 5) because idiot investors out there concluded that Apple didn't meet expectations?
Indeed, I think it is the House of Congress...... unless I am missing something subtle in your fairly lean post......
That it implies there is one house, there are two and I think both needed to be lobbied on various things. I've never heard of such an expression used to describe the combined US legislative bodies. I think the official term for the combined bodies is "United States Congress".
Here's a quick (and very dirty) Photoshop job I did to show the size comparison between the old and (apparent) new iPod nano, assuming the click wheels are the same size:
Of the initiatives, the company's highest-profile push included a patent reform bill that would allow companies to contest the validity of patents after they've been granted, preventing some of the infringement lawsuits that affect Apple and other technology firms.
A much needed reform IMO. I understand the value of patents to protect the legitimate need for inventors to recover their development costs for introducing genuinely novel products. But some are just frivolous and silly.
The United States Congress is made up of two bodies: the House of Representatives and the Senate.
There is no "House of Congress".
I think that "House of Congress" is legitimate usage. Googling the term "US House of Congress" in quotes results in all sorts of legitimate links and identical usage. A search of "house of congress" within www.house.gov (the official website of the US Congress) also produces hundreds of references the term.

house.gov is not the official website of the US Congress. That is the official website of the US House of Representatives. senate.gov is the official web site of the US Senate. house.gov can't represent the Senate. The search engine does not restrict the results to only that phrase, many of the results appear to have those words scattered in the linked article.
Most uses of "house of congress" that I found was prepended by "a", "each", "both". As such, I really don't think "House of Congress" is supposed to represent both houses. The times there is "the house of congress", it looks like it only refers to one of the two houses, not the combined legislature. The Forbes source article does not say this.
after posting here my iPod Photo became corrupted and wouldn't restore!!
I became a tad angry and drempt up all manner of conspiracy theories what with the 5th being so close an all I wouldn't mind but I was gonna get a new pod anyway!!
But with some perverse perseverance I've got it up and running again. So I will be able to pass it on as promised.

Helps put things into perspective. You can also see that the leaked 3rd party case fits the leaked "nano flower" image perfectly.
Why do people keep calling this the nano? Has Apple ever made an iPod bigger? I think it's the replacement for the 5.5G iPod, therefore the 6G iPod. The true video iPod will be the iPhone derivative.

Why? Well, because the sources of all the popular Apple web sites seem to be indicating that it is the replacement Nano, the image that Apple legal had taken down was titled "Nano Flower," and it makes logical sense to me considering its small size and click wheel. Do you have any source to backup your claim to the contrary or is it just personal speculation?
I think Rolo has a point though, I don't think Apple has ever enlarged any given iPod model other than the 10GB model, that was a thicker addition to the model line, the general trend is to go thinner and smaller.

I work for the Target corporation and I heard nothing of this. I registered just to tell you that.
Mr. Target? Is that really you?

I thought you worked for Ikea.

So what? Most employees at Apple know nothing, either, especially store employees. New iPods are coming, so get ready.

Just as I thought. "Cretinous" was the correct answer.

The beauty is you don't have to buy one.
No. You don't understand. They're iPods. You MUST buy one. Or five.
