Ahh, what’s a day in the life of the internet without an Apple rumor? It appears that Digg founder, Kevin Rose may have been right after all. MacNN says it can verify that the super-imposed photos we showed you awhile ago were, in fact, accurate portrayals of the new fourth-generation iPod nanos.

The allegedly authentic image, sort of validates the existence of a new iPod, which will supposedly have the same Dock Connector as the 2006 model and bring back an long begotten color (Orange? Yellow? Totally radical lime green?).

Tech blog tycoons, Engadget caught wind of a different rumor. Mysterious internet alias “J.R” posted pictures they claimed were the official photos of the new iPod (in lime green!). Gizmodo debunked the rumor, adding that Apple Anticipators be wary of internet rumors.

Stay tuned for tomorrow, when Steve will let us know what’s really going on.
