The new Nano design is equipped with a wide screen for watching the HD content available from the iTunes Store. The new Nano designs with a curved design to them, come in a rainbow of colors, and an ever so slight price reduction. In addition, the Nano takes advantage of the accelerometer which changes the screen size, by allowing a “shake shuffle” mode that empowers users to shake it to move to the next song on the shuffle. Also available are new earbuds which have navigation controls right on the bud cord and a microphone for the built in memo recording feature (sold separate for about $79). The new iPod nanos come in 8GB for about $150, or 16GB for $199 .A new iPod Classic 120GB model, portending the discontinuing of the 160GB variation, is also on the cards.
It doesnt end there. Steve Jobs, the co-founder, CEO of Apple inc. also announced an update to the iTunes Store to version 8, which has a “genius” mode to suggest similar music tracks based upon what a listener has on their playlist.
Also, there is happy news for existing users. Finally, iPhone and iPod Touch users can upgrade to OSX2.1 for free, if they have already updated from 2.0. Those below that will have to pay the additional $10 fee. It fixes a lot of bugs including call drops, battery life, and app crashes.
The 8GB Nanos are available now, with the 16GB models due out this weekend.
